The Eros Arrow Skin is an arrow cosmetic for bows that leaves a visible trail of hearts.
Acquisition[]
The Eros Arrow Skin was available each year on Valentines Day in the Market.
It is now available from Ticker during the Star Days event for 1 Training Debt-Bond.
Equipping[]
Prior to Update 29.8 (2021-02-11), the Market version of the Eros Arrow Skin was a Gear item that lasted for exactly one mission.
The version sold during Star Days is now an Arsenal attachment to bows.
Notes[]
- Can be used on the Attica and Zhuge, although only the heart-shaped projectile trails are visible.
- The color of the projectile trail is affected by the weapon's energy color.
- The Eros Arrow Skin returns on Valentine's Day, as with other holiday content.
- Cannot be equipped on Ivara's Artemis Bow.
Trivia[]
- The skin's design is a reference to Eros, the Greek god of physical love. His Roman equivalent is Cupid who is often depicted using a bow and arrows with heart-shaped arrowheads.
- Eros is also one of the four words in Ancient Greek which can be rendered into English as “love”. Eros refers to “intimate love” or physical love, which is a separate concept from emotional or romantic love, which is associated with the goddess Aphrodite.
- Between Update 18.7 (2016-03-30) and Hotfix 18.7.1 (2016-03-31), this skin instead replaced both the arrow and quiver with a single Skana, which disappeared after a short period of time. Switching to or from the affected bow would cause the Skana to shoot outwards, and was capable of damaging both enemies and allies alike.
