The Sun Scourge is part of the Hunter Bow archetype. Hunter Bows are versatile, mid-range weapons with moderate speed and accuracy, and deal average Impact and Tear damage.

The Sun Scourge is the one of two Legendary Hunter Bows within the game, with the other being Death Seeker’s Shadow.

Description¶

This powerful mid-range bow was crafted by a Tenakth rebel for one purpose: wreak destruction on the Carja Sundom.

Where to get the Sun Scourge Hunter Bow¶

To get the Sun Scourge Hunter Bow, you must complete all of the Rebel Camps in the game.

This is only accessible towards the end of the game as the last camp is only available once you’ve progressed through quite a bit of the story. You’ll have to take out all of the previous camps to unlock the last one, the First Forge Rebel Camp.
