Revision 12

Overview

The Bekker Bow is a bow in Crimson Desert named after the frugal warrior Bekker. It is a long-range weapon that grants increased Critical Hit Chanceimproving the likelihood of landing critical damage with ranged shots. Like all bowsit requires arrows to be equipped before it can be fired.

The Bekker Bow sits at the entry level of the bow category with a base Attack Power of 10. What sets it apart from other starter bows is its Critical Hit Chance bonus, making it a solid pick for players who want to fish for high-damage critical strikes at range rather than relying on raw attack speed.

How to Obtain

The Bekker Bow can be purchased from equipment merchants for 4.32 Silver Coins. Prices may vary depending on the player's faction reputation. It may also be craftable at a Blacksmith once the appropriate weapon crafting book has been acquired. Players can find bow crafting books scattered throughout Pywel or buy them from equipment shops.

Refinement and Upgrades

The Bekker Bow supports up to 10 levels of refinement at any Blacksmith. Each refinement level increases the bow's base statsthough the cost in materials grows with each tier. The weapon also has 5 Abyss Core slots, which can be filled by visiting a Witch vendor to add passive bonuses such as increased critical damage, faster draw speed, or elemental effects to arrows.

Why Bekker Bow for Crit Builds

The Bekker Bow is the best-in-slot bow for critical rate builds because of its native crit stat. At base level it starts with a crit rate of 1, and when fully upgraded it reaches crit rate 8. No other bow in the game provides native crit rate at this level. The Golden Knotted Ancestral Bow has slightly more raw attack power, but it has zero crit rate, making the Bekker Bow the superior choice for any build that relies on landing critical hits consistently.

To put the numbers in perspective: the Bekker Bow at crit rate 7-8, combined with a Necklace of Lightning at crit rate 4 (which doubles to 8 when refined), already gives 15 crit rate before any socket bonuses. You only need 2 additional crit sockets (each providing +3 crit rate) to reach extremely high crit consistency. This makes the Bekker Bow the foundation of any one-shot Charged Shot build.

Where to Buy

The Bekker Bow can be purchased from Red in Hernand city. Red is the equipment merchant located in the market district. The bow costs 4.32 Silver Coins and is available as soon as you arrive in Hernand during the early chapters of the game. Because it only needs about 3 upgrade levels to become highly effective for crit-focused builds, it is one of the most cost-efficient investments you can make for ranged combat.

For players running a Focus Shot combo build, pair the Bekker Bow with a Spirit Siphon core in one of the bow's sockets. Spirit Siphon recovers spirit when hitting enemies with supercharged focus shots, which lets you immediately re-enter Focus mode after a burst without waiting for passive spirit regeneration.

Combat Tips

Since the Bekker Bow already provides a Critical Hit Chance bonus, stacking additional critical-related Abyss Cores can push the crit rate noticeably higher. Pairing this bow with archery skills like Precision Focuswhich slows time to line up headshots, lets players capitalize on the increased crit rate for maximum burst damage. The bow works well as a secondary weapon for Kliffallowing him to soften targets at range before switching to melee.

When choosing between the Bekker Bow and the White Wood Bow (both priced at 4.32 Silver Coins), the decision comes down to playstyle: the Bekker Bow rewards patient, deliberate shots aimed at critical spots, while the White Wood Bow favors rapid-fire pressure with its Attack Speed bonus.
