A '''footbow''' is a type of [[launcher]] [[weapon]] that appears in ''[[SpliceHack]]'' and ''[[Hack'EM]]''. It is a [[bow]] designed for use with [[arrows]], and appears as a '''warped bow''' when [[identification|unidentified]].<br />

==Generation==<br />
Footbows do not generate randomly.<br />
<br />
In SpliceHack and Hack'EM, footbows can generate in junk shops.<br />
<br />
[[Marrashi]] are guaranteed to start with a footbow and a selection of different arrows, including one arrow that is poisoned. Marrashi also get a multishot bonus when shooting arrows from the footbow.<br />
<br />
==Strategy==<br />
The footbow stands out as the only 1-handed bow and may be used with a shield. It also weighs twice as much as other bows.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The footbow was introduced in [[SpliceHack]].<br />
<br />
==Origin==<br />
...A footbow is a bow used on foot, aka with the archer standing with their feet on the ground. Most bows are indeed used this way today. In the past, however, in various cultures, specifically those of the Eurasian steppe, most bows were utilized while on horseback. [[archeryhistorian.com|https://archeryhistorian.com/footbow/]]<br />
