The bolt bluerints are named, Gust of wind, regular, impact, electric, toxic. They are in the DLC Weapon section of Blueprints. Well they are in mine for the very least. I have them. They work in the Valentines Day crossbow.

Mine are called simply "bolts". As for Gust Of Wind, it's the DLC that was released during the Chinese event. A DLC that allows you to craft a crossbow without having to buy/ play the following. But OP said that he/she doesn't have the following. I claimed the Valentines Pack, i got only the crossbow and a skin for the buggy. No blueprint for it. The only way to get the bolts, legit, is to buy the following, or to buy that DLC.

I would agree with you except that this is my 2nd save, and this save has not ventured into the Following yet. I am only at the point on the game in Oldtown @ Higher Education. But I have the Heat Wave Blue Print. Not the Blueprint for the compound crossbow. Which I know you do not get till you get to the following. Which might mean the gust of wind blue prints came with the Deadeye crossbow, and work in the Valentine crossbow. What do you think ?. Bolts I can not get yet, they work in my Heatwave. That's in my first save.

Alin. is spot on. The only official ways of acquiring ammunition blueprints for crossbows would be to purchase the Following DLC or the Shu Warrior DLC.

The regular bolt blueprint in the Following is awarded upon reaching Reputation Rank 2, and the elemental versions are awarded at Rank 3.

All blueprints for the Gust of Wind versions of the 4 ammo types are given at the same time after purchasing the Shu Warrior DLC.

Regardless of which of those are purchased, the blueprints you get will produce the same ammunition items as all of the crossbows utilize the same bolt ammunition.

The Deadeye addition did not provide blueprints for ammunition for either the bow or the crossbow and they relied upon the existing blueprints to create ammunition for them.
(the bolt blueprints earned in the Following for bolt production, and any of the arrow blueprints acquired several ways to produce arrows for the bow)

Pedreen:
I appreciate Alin recommending the use of my Auto-learn All Blueprints mod. Using it would be sufficient for you to learn those ammo blueprints artificially. However, using that mod may cause you to auto-learn more blueprints than you would like even if you only select to auto-learn all ammo blueprints as my Auto-learn All Blueprints allows you to do.

You may instead like to give my Quartermaster Bows Mod a try. You can use it to temporarily have all quartermasters offer all bows, crossbows, bolt ammunition, arrow ammunition, and all of the blueprints that exist to produce all of these. You can then take only those bow/crossbow items or blueprints that you want to have and then uninstall the mod if you would like.

I honestly thought that in order to equip any of the bows and crossbows, including the Valentine Crossbow, required owning the Following DLC. Even my custom Calyxium Bows and Crossbows still require that the following be owned in order to be usable as the weapon type itself is locked from use unless you own it. https://www.nexusmods.com/dyinglight/mods/157

If you are able to equip your Valentine Crossbow, and you do not own the Following DLC, it would seem I have been mistaken. There must be something about that weapon I am missing then that would allow it to be able to be equipped without owning the DLC as other crossbows require.

Sorry for the confusion, a friend of was in town for a while. I let her try DL. Yeah she loved it. But what I didn't know. She purchased, two DLC's, and one was Shu Warrior. Again I apologize, but I didn't know she bought it for me.

No harm done, mate.
