AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Santa Monica Studio has detailed God of War Laufey's new Serpent Bow weapon, custom arrow types, and deep gear upgrade systems ahead of upcoming pre-orders.
Santa Monica Studio is ramping up the excitement for God of War Laufey by detailing a brand-new weapon called the Serpent Bow ahead of pre-orders opening. According to details shared on the official PlayStation Blog, this enchanted ranged weapon introduces two distinct firing modes that utilize the DualSense controller. Pulling the trigger all the way back activates Precision mode for long-range targeting and enemy weak-point shots, while a half-pull triggers Hip-Fire mode for close-quarters crowd control during combos.
Beyond basic aiming, the Serpent Bow features multiple arrow types including rapid-fire, explosive, and multi-target projectiles. Players will also be able to upgrade the weapon using a resource called Scales, which alters its appearance and grants unique gameplay perks. This ranged option is fully supported by a dedicated section in Faye's skill tree, ensuring that archery is a core pillar of combat rather than just a secondary tool.
The upcoming action-adventure title expands on player choice through extensive gear customization and collectible artifacts. Alongside the bow, players can swap out different sword blades and equip various armor sets that alter stats and abilities. As reported by Game Rant, players will also collect items called Catalysts while exploring the Everywhen to unlock special afterlife-themed powers when the game launches on February 16, 2027.
