Crafting Arrows

[ΛƘ 420]

I've got the Bow, but I'm on the vanilla game, not the expansion. Everywhere I read it says "arrows come with the bow" but I can't craft any, nor find how to craft them.
Luckily I was able to buy some from a trader after the first major event with Rais (I won't spoiler), but I'd like to be a robin hood sniping zombies nonstop.

Thanks

You must be above Survivor skill-tree rank 9 in order to be able to purchase defualt bow from vendors, I'm not sure how it works for vanilla game, after that I think you should see arrows in your blueprints, but I'm not sure really.

You should be able to purchase arrows from vendors, also quartermaster should have it too. You'll never need to craft arrows if you keep on picking it back.

Thanks BladeMaster!

you need the blueprint to craft arrows
look around and maybe you find a vendor who sells one. after that you can craft default ones with metalscrap and nails

Why does one use a bow in the first place anyway,unless you're lacking ranged weapons,bow isn't really helpful nor useful

Bozak or Ranger bow is the number one most useful weapon in Dying Light.

Headshots are a one-shot kill from outside melee range, they're silent and you can retrieve pretty much all your ammo. What's not to love?

I have the Bozak bow, but one problem I have with it is that it is TOO powerful - the arrows pierce heads and go flying off somewhere. This is almost never actually helpful for scoring multiple kills with one arrow, and it greatly increases the chance of losing arrows (and it increases the time to recover the ones you do find).

If I need longer range than the standard bow, the Crossbow is great for that.

I have easy solution for the piercing problem which can be the worst annoying thing ever about the bow. Simply don't zoom while shooting, if you don't zoom arrows will never pierce and always stay stuck on where it hits.

Not zooming will not decrease the power, speed or accuracy of arrows so don't worry about that, example here - https://youtu.be/KfL_QL2JDbo
