Review: Evensong (U36.0.4)

The Evensong is a new MR10 Bow. Jade's signature Primary, it possesses a small AoE and special effects that make it a unique support weapon with usable kill power.

Review: Cinta (U33.0.14)

The Cinta is a new MR6 Bow, used by one of the new Duviri enemies. Using the Nataruk's Perfect Shot mechanic, it is a surprisingly strong Bow with greater versatility than the typical Bow.

Review: Prisma Lenz (U33.0.10)

The Prisma Lenz is an MR12 explosive Bow Primary. An upgraded variant of the MR8 Lenz, it delivers impressive damage in a wide range with its two-part explosion, though even with Hunter Munitions is not the most effective against heavily armoured enemies.

Review: Nagantaka Prime (U31.3.1)

The MR12 Nagantaka Prime is an improved version of the MR9 Nagantaka. Garuda Prime's signature Crossbow, it excels at inflicting brutal Slash procs on heavily armoured enemies, though struggles against large groups.

Review: Nataruk (U31.0.3)

The Nataruk is a new Sentient Bow, introduced in U31 The New War. With a unique "perfect" charge mechanic providing immense potential damage-per-shot by Bow standards, it is a novel and very powerful conventional Bow.

Review: Proboscis Cernos (U29.5.2)

The Proboscis Cernos is a new Infested MR15 Bow, introduced in U29.5: Deimos Arcana. Despite the name, it functions nothing like any of the other Cernos', firing a unique projectile that latches onto and pulls in nearby enemies, before exploding. A Status-focused weapon with high Base Damage, it is a fairly powerful and quite novel weapon.

Review: Kuva Bramma (U27.2.2)

The Kuva Bramma is an MR15 portable supernova strapped to a bow with powercreep tape. With insane stats across the board, enormous AoE including extra cluster bomblets, and no self-damage to kill you, the Kuva Bramma is quite possibly the best Primary weapon in Warframe right now.

Review: Ballistica Prime (U26.0.3)

The Ballistica Prime is an MR14 Crossbow Secondary. Released alongside Hydroid and Nami Skyla Primes in U21.6, it is a weapon that has been left largely untouched since release. As such, especially in light of the major weapon rebalance in U22.12 and more recent releases, it has largely been powercreeped and outclassed.

Review: Zhuge Prime (U25.4.3)

The Zhuge Prime is an MR14 Full-Auto crossbow, released in U25.3 alongside Wukong and Ninkondi Primes. With several unique features over the base Zhuge, and overall strong base stats, it is a powerful, though at times frustrating, crossbow.

Review: Cernos Prime (U25.2.4)

The Cernos Prime is an unusual MR12 bow that fires at base 3 arrows in a spread. Originally released alongside Valkyr and Venka Primes, it has quite good total firepower, but can take a lot of getting used to.

Review: Lenz (U24.2.7)

The Lenz is an MR8 nuclear launcher disguised as a bow, released in U21.3. With a unique two-part explosion with guaranteed Cold proc, it is both the most powerful explosive weapon currently in the game, as well as one of the safest despite its in-game description.

Review: Nagantaka (U24.0.2)

The Nagantaka is Garuda's signature primary, an MR9 crossbow very recently released in U24. It is quite unique among current bows, being semi-auto with a special secondary fire. With 90% Slash damage and solid base stats, it's a fairly powerful bow that can do some good damage to most enemies.

Review: Rakta Cernos (U23.10.8)

The Rakta Cernos is Red Veil's signature primary weapon, an MR12 bow. Released in U17.3 with the other Syndicate primaries, it is notably the fastest firing traditional bow currently in the game. This combined with solid base stats makes the Rakta Cernos a favourite bow of many players.

Review: Dread (U23.10.8)

The Dread is an MR5 bow whose blueprint is commonly dropped from (Shadow) Stalker. It is something that you'll most likely get many blueprints of if you play a decent amount of Warframe. Despite its low MR lock, the Dread is a very solid all-round bow and will do fairly well for most content, at least by bow standards.
