Tips

 * Charged shots travel further and deal more damage.

 * The Paris can headshot Crewman
 * The Paris is an Anti-Grineer beast; provided the wielder has the capacity to hit multiple charged headshots in sucession, Grineer will fall under your arrows.
 * Fire rate mods increase the pull-back speed of the Paris.
 * Reload speed mods increase the arrows reload speed of the Paris.
 * Using the Akbolto with this gun can turn you into a deadly headshot spree machine
 * Because the arrows are influenced by gravity, aim a bit above the enemie's head to secure headshots at long ranges
