Bowman wears a beige colored shirt, brownish pants, and black shoes. Its appearance is very similar to the Hunter and Detective classes, although one of the main differences is Bowman's uncommon brown hair. Like most classes, Bowman has 100 HP and medium movement speed.
As of update v4.1.1, Bowman, Vince, Detective and Hunter require you to be logged in to use, making them unavailable to Guests.
Bowman is definitely one of the high-risk, high-reward classes, with emphasis on accuracy, timing, and reflexes. Bowman can deal a whopping 200 damage making it the most damaging class in the game. No matter what part of the player's body the crossbow's projectile hits, the opposing player will always be killed. But the catch is that there's just one ammo in the Bowman class and you have to reload after every shot.
No matter what part of the player's body the Crossbow's projectile hits, the opposing player will always be killed. Many of Hunter's strategies can be applied to Bowman, as they both center around landing the first shot before the enemy.
Because of its low ammunition, it is often unreliable in the wrong hands because failing to hit a shot can give the opposing player enough time to quickly dispatch you with several well-aimed shots, however, the Crossbow has the fastest reload speed in the game (due to only one ammo), which means a decent amount of shots can be fired over a shot period of time. This is why solely players with good accuracy gravitate towards this class. This is another reason this is part of the Challenges.
Being a projectile class, it is susceptible to some downfalls. It is important to note that like rockets, projectiles fired from the crossbow are affected by gravity, and the projectile speed is quite slow. The gravity effect is very subtle but when aiming long distances or straight down, the effects can be seen easily. While aiming, you should take gravitational effect, and projectile speed into consideration. To hit a moving target, you must calculate where they will end up. Therefore, you should have aim around the front of the enemy far out.
