No worries.
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 the Fortified Compound is equipped, the Sniper carries arrows in the rifle case strapped to his back.

This weapon functions identically to the Huntsman; however, it does not function as a substitute for the Huntsman for the purpose of 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 is not played, but the Sniper still says the taunt's line "Stab, Stab, Stab", and can still kill a nearby enemy player by moving the camera towards them before taunting.
  • Lit arrows are not 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.
