How to make a bow and arrows in the Forest

Forge the superior bow and arrow!

Getting a ranged weapon like a bow and an arrow in Forest will help you gain a huge advantage during the initial stages of the game. Unlike a spear, a bow kills the animals and cannibals with a single headshot, helping you complete your fight much faster and safer. To make a bow and arrow, you need to collect some sticks, cloth, ropes, and feathers from the vast forest area around you.

To craft a bow, you will need to collect the following ingredients.

  • 1 Stick - To collect sticks, chop down any small bushes or small thin trees. 
  • 1 Cloth - Clothes are one of the easy commodities to find in the Forest universe. You can collect clothes from suitcases, beach shores, and cloth crates.
  • 1 Rope - Rope pieces can be forged from caves, yachts, small boats, and cannibal villages.

Crafting an Arrow in The Forest

A bow is nothing but a showpiece if you don't have any arrows to shoot. A total of two different materials are required to craft a basic arrow.

  • 1 Stick - As mentioned before, chop down small bushes or small thin trees to get sticks. 
  • 5 Feathers - You can easily collect feathers from any bird. Killing a single bird will provide you with 3-5 feathers. If you are not a fan of killing innocent virtual birds, you can always collect their fallen feathers inside caves and below trees.

After collecting the prescribed ingredients, open your backpack and combine them on the crafting mat. Both the items will be added to your inventory, and you can start hunting immediately. Remember, the crafted bow will wear/decay over some time, depending on your usage.
