Rise of the Tomb Raider
In Rise of the Tomb Raider Lara finds parts of the Compound Bow in four different Strongboxes in Siberia. These are located throughout the various places in the Soviet Installation, or if overlooked, later in the game. After finding all pieces she can return to any of the Base Camps, assemble the bow, and equip it.
Properties
The Compound Bow trades damage and precision for a decreased hold time, draw speed, and rate of fire. It is not as balanced as the Recurve Bow, but still usable for a wide range of targets. Its flaws can be somewhat mitigated by applying upgrades.
In comparison to the Ancient Horn Bow (and its derivatives) it is still more powerful but suffers from the same problems. The horn bows are more balanced.
As a rule of thumb one should choose the Compound Bow in situation where a lot of fire-power is needed and hold time is irrelevant.
