“

No worries. Click to listen — The Sniper assuring his modern bow's quality

”

The Fortified Compound is a promotional primary weapon for the Sniper. It is the bow used by Garrett from the video game Thief; a black, metallic compound bow. When equipped, the Sniper carries arrows in the quiver strapped to his back.

This weapon functions identically to the Huntsman; however, it does not function as a substitute in the Dual-Purpose Fruit item set.

Taunting with the Fortified Compound equipped results in the Arrow Stab kill taunt.

This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who purchased Thief on Steam before March 7, 2014.

Bugs

• While having the Fortified Compound or Huntsman equipped, it is possible to still use the Arrow Stab taunt while stunned. The taunt's animation will not be played, but the Sniper will still say the taunt's line "Stab, Stab, Stab", and can still kill a nearby enemy player by moving the camera towards them before taunting.
  • If this happens with an enemy Sniper that has the Fortified Compound or Huntsman, this bug can go on until one of the Snipers dies or stops pressing the Taunt button.
• Lit arrows will not be extinguished when going underwater.
• With a lit arrow, the fire particle stays when performing special taunts.
• Pressing primary and secondary fire at the same time causes the animation of letting go of the arrow without firing it to play on repeat.
