Swap arrow types?

[Tom Foolious]

Hello all,

Sorry for the possibly dumb question, but how do I swap arrow types? I have these premium arrows in my quiver and some stone tipped ones. For some reason my guy decides he wants to use the premium arrows this time, but I'd rather use the stone tipped since they are sufficient for what I'm doing.

I tried the Shift + RMB or w/e the combination is from the Options menu. Hasn't had any effect. Suggestions?

Thanks all,
Tom

Mmmm, never thought about it....
Another game I played, you had to point down and press R. I doubt if you can switch?

Hey :),

There is no Direct controll over what ammo you use. I personally always drop the ammo i do not want to use and pick it instantly up after, this way another ammo is chosen instead of the fresh dropped one.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking the current solution would be :-P I'll give that a shot!

I know this is not spot on your question but I have tested this to an extent and I recall it is true: the arrows or bolts closest to the upper left corner of your first inventory (usually the backpack) will be loaded. If no ammo is in the that inventory then the game looks to your quiver (again, closest to the upper left corner).

Hey there OP, atm there is no way to select the type of arrows that will be used, however as Keeper said the game should prioritize ammo and items that are close to the top left part of the inventory, so you can give that a shot.

Wouldn't happen to be 7 days to die, would it?

From experience my character seemed to prioritize the lesser quality ammo. Just a few days ago I had 2 sets of arrow: normal wooden and a few carbon ones I found on less than 30% durability.

I wanted to use the carbon ones, so I put these on the quiver and the wooden on backpack, the character used the wooden ones.

Then I've switched the carbon to backpack and wooden to quiver and again the wooden ones were used.

Then I've nocked the carbon ones and after the first shoot, back to wooden arrow.

Was under the impression the game woud prioritize the lesser quality first, but now I'm not sure anymore.

Thank you for the direct response. Appreciate your time in doing so. I will go down that route, but honestly after using these premium arrows and how they one shot puppets...I'm actually diggin' 'em lol.

By the way since I may have you here once again, the game has come a LONG way since I first purchased it on release. I'm very impressed and pleased with the amount of effort you and the team are putting into it. Keep it up and thank you for an awesome game!

Try it in combination with a compound bow and once you will be able to set it to as high poundage as you can, that will give them a proper hit even with improvised arrows. ;)

And thank you for your kind words I'm glad you are enjoying the game.

That is a bit weird, there will be sure improvements on this are coming in the future, for now, it's functioning and working as it should even if it does have some setbacks and lacks in features.

Quick update: I didn't change my arrow organization last night and my guy decided to randomly choose the improvised arrows over the premium arrows I had. Idk what triggered this, but I flipped the arrows around first with no effect. Then I took the improvised arrows out of my quiver, put them on the ground, walked away from them and I got my premium arrows back. It's whatevs, I'm a decent shot now, so even 2 shots with the imp arrows I'm fine with :-P

Press the V key while holding the bow in your hand, the arrow is then tucked away. In this state, you can select the arrow you want to use.
