The D-101 Longbow-DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) Sniper Rifle, or simply the Longbow-DMR (or Longbow DMR), Longbow, or DMR, is a Pilot anti-personnel semi-automatic sniper rifle manufactured by Lastimosa Armory that appears in Titanfall, Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends. The Longbow is a variant of the R-201 Assault Rifle, modified into a marksman rifle role.[1]

History[]

Design and performance[]

Field notes[]

  • Not having to lead your shots makes this weapon strong for cross-map sniping of moving targets. This is not a run-and-gun type of weapon; find the best locations to set yourself up to pick off enemies from a distance.
  • If the enemy Pilot is not moving, take the extra second to line up the headshot to guarantee the kill. Otherwise don’t be afraid to miss a shot on a moving Pilot. This sniper rifle has a rapid rate of fire that you need to take advantage of because it takes two body shots to kill a Pilot.
  • If you don’t have the Suppressor equipped, you have to shoot the AI and then relocate to avoid enemy Pilots that will sneak up to your location. Otherwise, this weapon is fast at picking off a group of AI at a distance.
  • When backing up your teammates, the Extended Magazine is a great way to have four more rounds in your magazine to give extra cover fire. When in doubt, use the Suppressor; it will allow you the opportunity to miss a few shots without giving away your position to the entire enemy team.
  • Should you find a suitable sniper's nest, it is recommended that you place Arc Mines in strategic points around your position, to help ward off Pilots that may come from behind. While this won't help with your aim or your use of weapons in general, if somebody comes in for an execution, at least you'll have a fighting chance.
  • Arc Grenades are recommended if you have the AOG scope, and Arc Mines are recommended for the 4.5 zoom scope, as the 4.5 zoom scope struggles for close range combat. So if you find yourself in a close range fight with a 4.5x scope, you can throw a bunch of Arc Mines and have a chance of killing the enemy.
  • The hypervelocity rounds fired from this weapon leave vapor streaks in the air when fired, which look like faint white lines. Experienced players can trace the streaks back to the sniper, even with a suppressor attached. After firing a few rounds, it is a good idea to relocate regardless if a suppressor is equipped.

Strengths[]

  • Don't have to lead your shots at a distance
  • Easily pick off Pilots that are on top of buildings
  • One shot headshot, two shot bodyshot

Weaknesses[]

  • Difficult to kill Pilots that are wall running and jumping around the map
  • Close-range fights with this weapon are ineffective; you need to rely on your sidearm, preferably a RE-45 or a P2011

Titanfall[]

The Longbow-DMR is a semi-automatic sniper rifle. Its hyper-velocity round completely eliminates the need to lead targets, and allows the shooter to fire multiple shots quickly in succession.

Titanfall 2[]

Longbow T2

The Longbow, now simply the DMR, reappears in Titanfall 2 as a sniper-class weapon with a reduced magazine capacity of six. Presumably, this was to further separate its role from that of the G2A5 rifle, and prevent players from seeing it as a comparable battle rifle.

Reaching Generations 2.9, 3.9 and 4.9 with the DMR will unlock the regular, FIRE and GOLD variants of the Dead to Rights Banner. Reaching level 20 will unlock the The Megalodon Patch.

The Longbow reappears in Titanfall Online.

Apex Legends[]


The Longbow DMR marries the effective range of a sniper rifle and a semi - automatic rate of fire. An experienced marksman can use the Longbow to defend a wide swath of territory from a single perch, then seamlessly switch to firing from the hip if flanked. The rarity of suitable hop - ups make it difficult to modify, but nonetheless, it became a lynchpin in early civil struggles between Outlands townships before the signing of the Mercenary Syndicate accords.
— In-game description.


The Longbow DMR returns once more as a weapon in the Apex Games, remaining relevant even after the end of the Frontier War. The Longbow is a sniper rifle that once again boasts long-range accuracy and single-shot stopping power in exchange for a small magazine and limited close-range performance. It can be modified in the field with attachments for a sniper scope, an extended sniper magazine and a sniper stock for improved handling. It is the fastest firing sniper in its class, which makes up for its lower damage compared to the heavier hitting sentinel and Charge Rifle. However, unlike the predecessors, the hitscan feature of this gun has been removed and targets require more tracking.
