For the first time, Respawn will introduce a whole new weapon category in Apex with the inclusion of the Bocek Bow.

Respawn has been teasing us with this new weapon type for some time now. In the last couple of dev blogs, Respawn would hide arrows in the background to give players hints. Additionally, data miners discovered a brand-new weapon class in the game files called “Marksmen.”
Some data miners also gave us plenty of clues about Respawn testing out bows to be added as a new weapon class in the game. It seems like all the testing paid off, and it is finally here in season 9 of Apex. The new weapon will be called the “Bocek Bow.”
According to Respawn, Bocek Bow is a powerful and deadly weapon for those with the skill to wield it. Capable of inflicting tremendous damage at medium range, you’ll need to make each shot count.

Bocek Bow
According to Respawn’s description, this seems like the ideal weapon for close-quarters combat encounters, but players would need to make every shot count because there will also be a new ammo type that is similar to sniper ammo.
Update:
According to a data miner, the Bocek bow takes the unique “Arrow” ammo. It also has some hop-up or alt-fire called “Splitter Arrows” that turn the projectile into 5 in the shape of a cross (X).

Usually, Respawn always likes to implement some alternative firing mode or a charge-up mechanic to let the weapon stand out from all the other weapons in the loot pool.
