"Now, hold on," you keep saying. "Aren't bows and arrows primitive and harmless?"
Why don't you ask the dinosaurs? Except you can't, because the cavemen bow and arrowed them to death.

— Huntsman publicity blurb

 "

The Huntsman is an unlockable primary weapon for the Sniper. It is a hardwood recurve bow held together with black tape. When equipped, the Sniper will carry arrows in the quiver strapped to his back.

In exchange for decreased max damage compared to the Sniper Rifle, as well as a smaller ammo count, the Huntsman requires less time to achieve a fully-charged, maximum damage shot and allows the Sniper to move at a faster speed while charging; 45% compared to other rifles 27%. The weapon can be charged whilst the Sniper is falling or jumping, and can be fired in midair. Since the Huntsman is not fitted with a scope, the Sniper must have skilled arcing Projectile aiming or get closer to his target to use it effectively.

Pressing primary fire button draws the bow and begins quickly charging the shot. Releasing primary fires the arrow. The longer the primary fire is pressed the greater the charge and the more damage the arrow does on hit when released. Full charge occurs in about 1 second, and the player can hold that charge by keeping the primary charge pressed. However, if the bow is drawn too long (about 5 seconds of draw) the bow begins to slightly shake with the tension and the arrow flies wide of the crosshair if then fired. Pressing and holding the alternate fire button and then releasing the primary fire releases the draw and lowers the weapon (and cancels the charge) without shooting the arrow.

Arrows, being projectiles, have a tendency to arc over long distances, yet this effect is reduced based on the strength of the charge behind the shot. Arrows travel around 1875 Hammer units per second (about 80 miles an hour, 128 km per hour) in a snap-shot; fully charging the Huntsman for 1 second therefore increases speed by around 25%. They also have a tendency to headshot enemies more, as projectiles have a larger hitbox than bullets, making headshots much easier.

The Huntsman has an added cosmetic effect; enemies killed with an arrow, if near a map object, will be pinned to it via the arrow. Arrows embedded in objects or enemies cannot be retrieved for additional ammunition. The Huntsman's arrows can clash with hostile projectiles or throwable items.

In addition, headshot kills scored with the Huntsman will net a total of 2 points, as compared to the 1.5 points obtained from a headshot kill using the Sniper Rifle.

Like other projectiles, arrows can be deflected by a Pyro using the Compression blast. In addition, a friendly Pyro can set fire to the Huntsman's arrows with any of their flame throwers. If the arrow hits an enemy, or even barely misses, the enemy is set on fire. However, Pyros do not get kill assists for lighting a Sniper's arrow. The arrow can be lowered without losing the lit arrow, ready for a later shot; switching weapons, however, douses the arrow. The torches on DeGroot Keep also light Sniper's arrows on fire. Water does not extinguish the lit arrow.

Taunting with the Huntsman equipped performs the Skewer kill taunt.

The Huntsman is automatically given to any player who obtains 5 Sniper achievements.

Bugs

  • Although going underwater with a lit arrow will visibly extinguish it, it is still considered lit and capable of setting enemies on fire.
  • Lighting a Huntsman arrow will change its damage type from bullet to fire; lit arrows do significantly lesser damage to enemies with fire resistances such as the Chargin' Targe and the Darwin's Danger Shield.
  • With a lit arrow, the fire particle stays when performing special taunts.

Trivia

  • The Huntsman's view model was originally left-handed.
  • When first revealed, the Huntsman was to have eighteen arrows. Five were removed, however, it is unknown why.[1]
  • The concept of lighting the Huntsman's arrows on fire was not in the original design. The ability was added after the item was shown to the public based on community feedback.[2]
  • In the files, the Huntsman is referred to as tf_weapon_compound_bow. This is incorrect, as the Huntsman is not a compound bow, but rather a recurve bow.
