Zero Dawn Bows/Which should I use?

[GoobleMoWizard]

I probably could of put this in my thread for armor, too, but, which bow at the Meridia should I get? Let's not say the ultimate bow, just something I can upgrade to.

Need one for short range and rapid fire and a long range bow. Then look for what arrows they use and then have a mix of bows that use the different arrows. Less useful weapons have only one are two arrows but the best ones use up to 3 types of arrows.

[GoobleMoWizard]

I've looked for a bow with more options of arrows, I'm not finding anymore that has fire arrows, except the one I'm using. I think it's a beginner bow, not sure.

You can buy other Bow's in the course of the game
with fire arrows.
Upgrade with mods from machines.
Thunderjaw and etc.......
Sorry for my English.

The primary bows you should want are one that can fire ice arrows and one that can fire high damage arrows.

Freezing an enemy is the best way to deal high damage

Maybe check out the Horizon wiki section on Bows: https://horizon.fandom.com/wiki/Bow

Explains the differences between the three types of bows (Hunter, War & Sharpshot) and you can click on links to get more info/details about each type of bow.

Each type of bow comes in four rarities: Basic; Carja; Shadow and Banuk. Note that in NG+ both the Shadow and Banuk variants are replaced with Adept versions which are simply more powerful versions of the Shadow/Banuk variants.

The Banuk variants can only be acquired from special vendors in The Cut (the DLC zone) so the best you can buy in Meridian will be the Shadow variants.
