- "Turok's trademark Bow that has the ability to strike opponents from great distances without making any sound. When at full tension, it's powerful enough to pin an enemy to a wall. When equipped with Tek Arrows, this weapon has an explosive effect. Turok can attack without being seen when using the Bow."
- —Turok manual[1]
The ORO C9 Perforator compound bow is a large compound bow specifically created for hunting enemies silently, and was introduced in Turok. Members of Wolf Pack are trained in the use of the C9 Perforator, with John Grimes being proficient in its use.
Appearance[]
This bow resembles a modern compound bow. It is sleek, grey, and is constructed of metal in comparison to the Bow or Tek Bow. The weapon features lights on it, much like other ORO weaponry. The Perforator's model number is 251307 and can be found printed on the weapon.
Gameplay[]
Single-player[]
This weapon is silent, deadly, and very effective. When the player pulls back on the drawstring, they will prime an arrow, and depending for how long they hold it, they will either stun or kill their enemy. The default arrow is versatile, being able to be used in multiple situations and multiple environments. It is effective against all Mendel-Gruman enemy types and nearly all types of dinosaurs. The second arrow is dubbed a "Tek arrow", features an explosive tip, and is able to cause massive damage to soft and hard targets.
This weapon is capable of pinning enemies to walls and nearby surfaces with default, steel-tipped arrows. An aesthetic mechanic, the player can perform it by priming an arrow fully, and hitting a humanoid target when they're standing next to a wall or solid object. Unlike prior Turok titles, arrows cannot be recovered once they're fired, regardless of whether or not they hit an enemy. Likewise, the arrows are prone to dropping off over longer distance, even at a maximum draw, requiring the player to lead their arrows at further distances.
Multiplayer[]
This weapon is not a default weapon like the knife, and must instead be found on the map in order to be utilized. However, once the C9 is in the player's hands, it is one of the most deadly ranged weapon in the game, being more user friendly and effective than the TRIGLAV 92 Stalker sniper rifle.
The vertical drop-off of fired arrows still remains; however, it can be used in the player's favor, such as using the drop off to impact the enemy's helmet from shorter ranges. The same applies to the Tek arrows. Both of the C9's arrow types will leave highly visible trails when fired, revealing the user's position.
Secondary function[]
This weapon's secondary function is the Tek arrow. It is an explosive tipped arrow which, when shot, will cause a massive grenade-like explosion at the point of impact. It is very useful against soft targets like dinosaurs and MG soldiers; however, helicopters and APCs are not affected by them. These arrows also suffer from a steeper drop off than the baseline arrow. Their pickups are denoted by a red, glowing light.
Pickups[]
- Arrows: Restores 25 arrows.
- Tek Arrows: Restores 10 Tek arrows.
History[]
- "Yeah, that would be a great weapon... if we were fighting General Custer."
- —Slade, when Joseph Turok obtains the C9
Along with the P23 combat knife, the Perforator was one of Joseph Turok's trademark weapons during his training under Roland Kane. John Grimes would also use the weapon as his signature.
After Turok's abandonment of Wolf Pack, and Whiskey Company's crash landing on the backwater planet, he would rendezvous with Slade, and would end up finding his personal bow. It would prove its worth against the Mendel-Gruman personnel in the jungle.
Later, Grimes would end up striking Cowboy with an arrow, causing tension among the ranks of Whiskey as Slade accused Turok of launching the arrow. Grimes would return that night, deflecting an arrow off of Turok's own quiver to strike and kill Cole. Proving his mastery, he would also kill Reese with the weapon as Whiskey attempted to invade a nearby MG complex, striking the marksman from an impossibly far angle.
