The Mercury Bow is essentially Oni's sniper rifle. It shoots lethal projectiles with high velocity and accuracy, but is handicapped by a slow firing rate and a low magazine capacity. An additional handicap comes from the fact that the projectile leaves a visible trail in the air, revealing the location of the shooter. Despite the drawbacks, it is the weapon of choice of [[Sniper]]s (mercenaries who can be seen fighting both with the TCTF and with Muro). It is also seen wielded by regular TCTF units and Strikers. | The Mercury Bow is essentially Oni's sniper rifle.

As far as Oni's ammunition system goes, it is hard to explain (without pushing the in-universe explanation) what mercury doses (or grenades) have to do with the "blank bullets" supposedly encased in the generic red ammo clips. At any rate, 2 mercury doses = 4 grenades = 10 Campbell Equalizer shots = 30 Black Adder shots = 5 Scram missile packs. 2 shots per clip is the lowest capacity in Oni; like the cooldown time, it is probably a gameplay choice to compensate for the reliable accuracy and large amount damage. | As far as Oni's ammunition system goes, it is hard to explain (without pushing the in-universe explanation) what mercury doses (or grenades) have to do with the "blank bullets" supposedly encased in the generic red ammo clips.

[[AE:Sniper scope and prone mode|Sniper scope and prone mode]] are new features developed for the Anniversary Edition. They are new gameplay elements intended primarily for the mercury bow. The player can make accurate long-distance shots shoot from prone or crouching positions, with the help of an automatic zoom. It is also possible to "crawl around" or quickly relocate between two prone poses. | [[AE:Sniper scope and prone mode|Sniper scope and prone mode]] are new features developed for the Anniversary Edition.
