Capabilities
Xander Mercury’s personal weapon of choice is a specialized recurve bow which greatly accommodates his unique combat style, allowing him to accurately shoot enemies from a considerable distance, or quickly and effectively fire at enemies during a close range fire fight or brawl while dodging gunfire and attacks from numerous enemies.


 * Sight: To further aid in combat, the bow has a red laser sight to help Xander quickly draw a line of sight when targeting enemies at close range.
 * Durability: When pushed to hand to hand combat the bow is durable enough to serve as an effective melee weapon.
 * Collapsibility: The bow is collapsible, with breaks above and below the handle, as well as midway down the length of each limb. This allows the bow to be folded into a more compact form that makes it easier to conceal, carry, store, and transport. When deployed, the bow can swiftly re-assemble in one quick motion as the limbs lock back into place.
 * Remote: Four buttons running down the length of the bow’s grip, in line with each of his fingertips, allow Xander to request specialty arrows from his quiver without taking his mind off the battle. Xander can also use these controls to remote trigger certain specialty arrows such as the explosive tip.
 * Staff Conversion: The bow has the capability to transform into a bo staff which can be used for melee combat.

Trivia
