Cupid Arrows .......the question we all have

[ThePainMaker]

ok ...so after all these years in the game ...does someone know exactly what are they and what do they do ? do they exist in real life ? do they have a purpose in the game ?

Cupid arrows were introduced way back as a special ammo for the first Valentine day competition in 2013. I have that 1st competition trophy.
They are a little different in performance as noted in the store description.

(* Please note that this arrow does not perform exactly as the regular arrows and that power, trajectories and zeroing varies from bow to bow. Make sure to practice at the Archery Addictions Range before heading out to hunt!)

They can be used as normal arrows in the bows they are designed for but you need to try different bows to see which will give the best result.

I very much doubt they have a real life counterpart.

oh thanks for the response, so their only difference is that they are worst than normal arrows but are more expensive ? ..thats what i dont get ...

No, Not worse. some may be stronger, some may be weaker. They seem to work ok in the snakebite but I have never used them in any other bow.

I'm guessing some work much better because they can't be used in all comps.

the thing is that no content creator has ever put out a guide explaining what is happening with every bow and why that is

They were used in a valentines event a year or two ago also, you needed heartshots with cupid arrows. They do fly different then regular arrows but I am not exactly sure in what way. I wouldn't use them unless I needed to for an event, I had a hard time hitting the shots with them.

From my experiences & many years of playing, I've noticed that they shoot way more straigth than regular arrows. Not much drop is what I mean.

And yes, they were introduced many years ago for a Valentine Event & then, stayed available.

if you also notice the cupid arrows is a pack of 15 unlike the other tracer arrows which are 10 for the same price, i use them alot and the only thing ive noticed is i got 5 extra arrows to waste killing none gm$ animal. you can only use them with snakebite, Parker, recurve bow. but hey 5 more arrows to use for 102gms.
