The Daikyu is an asymmetrical bow of Tenno design and origin. It has larger damage, status chance and increased Projectile Speed compared to the other bows, as well as high critical chance, but takes longer to fully draw and cannot be released early for decreased damage.

- Guaranteed Impact proc.
- Charged shots have an innate 3 meter punch through, the highest of all bows.
- As it can only be fired when fully charged, shots will always have the punch through.

Notes[]
- The Daikyu does not have a quick fire option, nor can it be fired at partial charge - it must be fully charged before it can be fired.
- The weapon's charge, both in its draw phase and its hold phase, can be cancelled by performing actions that will break normal weapon charges, such as pressing reload, rolling, or switching to another weapon.
- The Daikyu reportedly does not benefit from multiplicative gun CO from Galvanized Aptitude. Instead, it acts the same as damage mods like Serration, Heavy Caliber, or gun Arcanes like Primary Merciless.
Tips[]
- The increased Projectile Speed and subsequent low arc makes it much easier to achieve headshots and hit enemies at very long ranges.
- Speed Trigger, ( Primed) Shred, Vigilante Fervor and Vile Acceleration can be used individually or in combination to speed up the Daikyu's draw speed.
Trivia[]
- The daikyū (大弓) is one of two variants of the Japanese asymmetrical yumi bow. Read as "big bow" or "Longbow", the daikyū is the larger variant to the smaller hankyū (半弓; lit. "half bow").
- The mechanics of this bow appear to be heavily based on the principles of Kyūdō, the practice of Japanese archery. By taking one's time and adopting proper shooting posture and form, the arrow is assured to hit its mark.
- The Codex description mentions great strength required to draw the Daikyu, which may refer to its prolonged drawing time.
- The Daikyu was the first bow that has a completely compact, collapsible form when holstered. It folds into three pieces: its two arms and the grip, creating a U-shape as the arms point upward on the player's back. The Lenz would follow as the second, folding in a similar manner.

Patch History[]
Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)
- Ammo Changes
We understand the power fantasy of these weapons is very popular for some, so our first approach was to keep them powerful, but limit how often they can be used by making changes to ammo pick-up.
Ammo Pickup Overrides
The following weapons now have ammo pickup overrides, meaning they gain less from picking up ammo. This mostly applies to AoE weapons, in hopes that players will become more deliberate with their aim to make the most of their Ammo pools. The following lists the specific ammo pick up overrides per weapon category.
