Weapons
A huge variety of weapons exists in Gloria Victis, and choosing the right one for the situation is vital.
Weapons each deal specific types of damage when used in particular directional attacks, and melee weapons come in various lengths which affects the their effective melee range and playstyle.
Bows
While deadly in the hands of an archer, those not specialized into archer skills will find themselves with very low amounts of ammunition in their quivers.
Bows come in 3 varieties: simple, reflex, and longbow. Bows work best with light armor and high dexterity. Quiver sizes are specific to each bow type and can be improved by putting points into the skills ###########
| Bow Type | Min/Max Arrows | Characteristics |
| Simple | 11/45 | Piercing Damage No Armor Piercing Moderate fire rate |
| Reflex | 12/50 | Piercing Damage Moderate Armor Piercing High fire rate |
| Long | 8/35 | Piercing Damage High Armor Piercing Low fire rate |
Quiver and Arrow Regeneration
- Each bow type has its own quiver which controls the number of arrows it has.
- Base arrow regeneration is 10% of the quiver max per minute.
- Maximum arrow regeneration with skills is 15% of the quiver max per minute.
- Arrow regeneration speed does not vary based on the type of bow used. Regeneration occurs while using other weapons and while firing arrows.
- Changing weapons does not stop, slow, or increase the speed of arrow regeneration.
