Help with building arrows

[Gay Chungus]

I already bought the a bow from the tower merchant. How do I craft arrows? I dont have the blueprint, and I dont know where to find it.

You have to buy the blueprint from a merchant along with the bow, if you had the bow dropped for you, you won't be able to buy the blueprint until around level 8-9? If you bought the bow, in that case. The blueprint should be there along with it.

[Lenny Rat]

My recommendation is to always buy any blueprint that a vendor makes available to you. They are among the cheapest things offered and will come in handy.

You will learn how to do arrows only after you finish Bozak. It will be necessary to fulfill a number of conditions, and blueprints will appear in the inventory automatically. For example, to learn how to make explosive arrows, you need to finish Bozak for 31 minutes or less

From a Dying Light wiki:
The default arrow blueprints come with the Bow, but the other arrow type blueprints must be unlocked through the Bozak Horde challenges.

Explosive arrows:
Can be obtained by finishing all Bozak Horde trials under 31 minutes(Alone), the time is decreased in Co-Op as more players are present. This is also tied to achievement Things That Go Ka-Boom, which is second hardest Bozak achievement after the Together Till the End(Bozak Mask), let alone having to speedrun through all trials, the achievement is glitched and may not work 100% the time, forcing people having to redo Bozak Horde once or twice again.

Electric arrows:
Can be obtained by killing 10 virals in Bozak Horde with a bow throughout the trials. After you finish Bozak Horde once, you'll gain ability to always spawn with a Bozak bow the next time you enter Bozak Horde, you must use this bow to kill virals. This does not require finishing all trials, as well as tied to the achievement Electric Whisper, after you kill 10 virals with bow you'll notice the achievement pops up, this can be indicator that you've unlocked the electric arrow blueprint and now you can exit Bozak stadium anytime, unless you want to finish all the trials for another reason. Virals wear orange clothes in Bozak Horde.
-> Don't know if it's true that you MUST kill the enemies with a Bozak bow or just any bow; can't verify due to lack of personal experience.

Incendiary arrows:
Can be obtained with the same way as electric arrows, but this time you'll have to kill 10 bolters instead of virals. This also doesn't require finishing all trials, you can safely exit the Bozak stadium. Incendiary arrows don't have any achievement so the only way to see if you've unlocked them is either done by counting all bolters killed or opening blueprints menu. There won't be any problems with opening menu during Bozak Horde, as the game is paused on Normal difficulty and the Bozak Horde can only be played on Normal mode.

Btw.: The only arrows worth getting are the electrical arrows as they make enemies unable to act, allowing you to either escape or to get behind them for an execute move (while taking minor damage due to the electric effect they're affected by hitting you but not impairing you then).

Incendary arrows and explosive arrows don't scale with the character level and have no upgraded blueprint version so they turn into useless crap extremely fast. Unlike the explosive arrows, that can at least kick enemies off their feet despite being useless in terms of damage and while attracting more enemies due to multiple explosions making noise, incendary arrows are mostly just trash.

You will unlock default bow at Survivor skill-tree rank 9, after that this should give you blueprint for normal arrows too.

As of the Bozak Horde, you'll unlock its bow and arrows blueprint after you finish it at least once.

If you own Ranger bow, you'll immediately gain access to crafting Ranger bow and its arrows.

Both Ranger and Bozak bow are better than default one, you should get either of it as soon as possible.

If you need help with Bozak Horde or anything, add and then contact me. I can help you finish Bozak Horde so you can unlock its bow and arrows. Your levels don't matter.

The only use I've found for Incendiary arrows is to kill Bombers. It's better than wasting a bullet or useful arrow on them.

While the range on the store-bought bow is awful, the Bozak bow (and maybe the Ranger bow as well) has an downside that headshots with it pierce, sending the arrow flying who knows where. It's almost never going to be into the head of a conveniently placed zombie behind it.

This isn't true at all.

Not the Ranger bow. Sometimes it goes through, but 90% or maybe more often than that of the time it will stay on the first infecteds head.

Hey, I know this is sort of a dead thread but did you ever get the arrows? I just started a new character, got to 9, bow, yada yada, no BP though. Restarted, nothing. Switch to my old char(they have it) then back. Still no bp.

This is for regular arrows. Not asking about the elemental ones.

[Stalker.]

If you buy Harran ranger DLC you will get blueprints for all arrow types. Bonus it is NOT survivor level dependant. You can use it right from the start. I feel this is the only MUST have DLC.
