Krauser's Bow or Sheva's Bow?

Krauser's Bow:

has a laser sight
after firing an arrow, you can immediately disengage and move to another spot
Krauser's aim with the bow is high, in that it mostly aims at the head of the Ganado, dealing an instant headshot.
The arrows fly straight and fast

Sheva's Bow:

Infinite Ammo. Fire away!
1500 damage per hit, any majini can get instantly killed from one hit. (it may differ depending on difficulty). Sub bosses can be dropped with ease with this weapon.
Goes well with Tribal Sheva due to the costume lol.

No targeting crosshair. You are somewhat limited to close to mid ranged battles if you're playing in PS3 and XBOX. However, if you play in PC version, the crosshair appears, making it very easy to kill and with this weapon.

The arrow doesn't fly straight. It requires some physics to achieve a perfect aim, especially at long range.
The arrow's speed is somewhat slow when you fire.
Unlike Krauser's Bow, which can disengage the bow after firing the weapon and immediately move to another spot, Sheva's require at least 1 second to load the next arrow, meaning that you cannot move for a second until she finished loading the next arrow.


So, which do you prefer among these 2 bows?

Sheva's seems more powerful...Krauser's....perhaps more accurate.

I liked Krauser's I guess, though I didn't like the bows too much.

lol Guerilla Warfare has been taken to the next level.

Umm... Is it weird that I prefer Claire's bow?

That thing was great but went through ammo quickly as it shot three bolts at once.

Yes and I don't know if it decapitates zombies.

I don't recall it doing so, but the arrows stuck to enemies.

Haha, and it's pretty useful against lickers, because they can't track you even if you fire the Bowgun

Is that so?

I'll have to try that next time. I always liked how they stuck to the enemies though. I also used an infinite ammo code for later playthroughs of RE2, so I hardly remember ammo being a problem in that game. I could use all the bowgun bolts I pleased.

lol don't turn on infinite ammo man, the game becomes quite boring when you do so.

Cheating is bad, m'kay?

Trust me, I did many, many runs without it. Only later on I decided that I had earned it. That said, it's still tons of fun. It's only super duper easy, once you get the Desert Eagle with Leon.

Otherwise, the music, files, cutscenes, etc, are all still great, infinite ammo or not.

the krauser bow is better, even if it isn't infinite you do get a lot of them in the game

@mass claire's bowgun is cool i have to agree but a waste on ammo and can be useless in re2 but pretty useful in CVX, specially the gun powdered ones where the arrows explode (it doesn't decapitate any heads)

You get tons of ammo for the one in CVX. And the explosive rounds were awesome, and were extremely effective against pretty much all enemies.

And I wonder if you still get an A rank for completing the game when you use the infinite ammo cheat?

Yeah, it doesn't affect anything. So long as you are only using the basic weapons. No special ones, i.e. minigun, rocket launcher, etc.

Woah, using the MAC 11 Machinegun decreases your grade, eh?

does it decrease your rank i you use the infinite stuff in RE3??

I'm pretty sure I got my one A rank using infinite ammo. Also, considering you have to earn them in Mercs, which is actually pretty challening, you're probably safe using one of those.

@Gregg....not sure, though I didn't want to risk it. I used the handgun & shotgun with Leon, until getting the Desert Eagle, that works for the rest of the game.

Claire, just using the grenade launcher & bowgun work well.

Well, I fear that my rank will decrease when you use the Rocket Laucher given to you by Ada to defeat the mutated tyrant.

I worried about the same thing. It's only one shot though, and it hardly seems to work like a shot. I mean, it immediately goes into a cutscene, "Game over", a one-liner from Leon, and it kills Mr. X in the scene.

So you probably don't have to worry about that. You might want to avoid using it after that though, like against William, G5.

There were only 2 rockets in the rocket launcher given to you by ada. Good thing there's an extra shot as a fail-safe method.

the only way to kill it is by using that launcher otherwise you're dead...

Are you sure? I swear I remember there being 4 or even 6. I remember having some leftover for Birkin.
