Notes[edit | edit source]

All "charge weapons" (guns) are capable of holding their charge during a sprint. As long as the user starts the charge, they are able to finish the charge while they are still sprinting. This allows more mobility for the user. An example of this is charging the weapon from behind cover, then running into a room firing the bow as soon as an enemy is sighted.
- However, all bows have a certain amount of time to hold an arrow before it becomes uncharged.
- Sliding when you are about to hit the ground (from any height) is very useful for keeping your charge instead of losing it by rolling.
- While wall running will not cancel the charge, edge grabbing will.
Dread will apply a 2-second Slash{"Negatives":["Tenno Shield"],"GlyphImage":"EssentialSlashGlyph.png","Link":"Damage/Slash Damage","Color":"#7a5254","Positives":["Infested","Narmer"],"DarkModeColor":"#e69ca0","ColorBorder":"#614849","Name":"Slash","Icon":"DmgSlashSmall64.png","Status":["Bleed DoT"],"ColorBackground":"#d8cacb","InternalName":"DT_SLASH","ProcInternalName":"PT_BLEEDING"} proc to the target, each damage tick dealing 3 damage.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The Dread is unique in that its 'string' glows. Light runs along the string towards the draw point.
- This light glows reddish when it is drawn.
Unlike the other bows, the Dread, utilizing primarily Slash{"Negatives":["Tenno Shield"],"GlyphImage":"EssentialSlashGlyph.png","Link":"Damage/Slash

- When drawing the bow, the arrow's blade rotates from a horizontal to a vertical position, meaning that fully charged shots are fired with their blades vertically. This clashes with the Codex description, which describes decapitating arrows, as a horizontal blade is better suited to decapitation.
The Dread has a cylindrical object installed near the grip. While its purpose is unknown; it is possibly a laser sight, rangefinder, or other form of optical assist.
Despite the Dread being referred to as the Stalker's calling card, it is strangely available for purchase with Darvo's rotating stock.

The Dread's arms don't move when an arrow is pulled back; only the string does.
When the Dread is being made in the Foundry, it has a chance to show the Mire as the floating silhouette that appears upon approaching the Foundry in the Orbiter.
