Bows and arrows

[smammered]

1. I got the compelte edition. The bows and armor it gives are kind of really bad huh? I should buy a better one asap?
2. Precision arrows. How do I craft higher tier arrows? They arent in my crafting menu

The Carja hunting bow is weak, however, you are stuck with it until you can buy the shadow carja weapons. To make precision arrows, you need a snipers bow.

You can mod every weapon, not just the three bows. You can also unlock a skill which lets you swap in and out mods whenever you want for free, without destroying them.

The war bow can use shock, freeze and corruption ammo. These apply said elements really fast, but deal 0 "tear" and almost no "normal" damage. That being said, you will want to apply mods that increase shock, freeze or corruption to increase their effectiveness, so it requires only 1-2 shots to apply these effects on even medium/large machines.

The sharpshooter bow uses ammo with high normal damage and high tear damage, so you should apply mods that increase damage or tear.

Scan every type of machine you come across and read their description in your notebook. Check their strengths and weaknesses so you know where to aim and what type of ammo to use.

On the sharpshooter I put increased damage and tear. On the hunter bow, war bows and tripcaster I favor increased elemental damage.

Also be aware that you can increase your quiver capacity in the crafting menu (and other carrying capacities)

How come when i have the sharpshot bow centered on the target it always misses ? Is it inaccurate or am i doing something wrong ?

Once you get the shadow hunter bow with hardpoint arrows you will want to use 2 damage and 1 fire coil. The hardpoint arrows do a lot of damage so make the most of them when you shoot 3 arrows at once.

I have beaten New Game on Ultra Hard so I have a pretty good idea of what works well against enemies.
