In the game

How to get it

Three sticks in a curve and three strings in a straight line beside them (mirrored works too).

What it is for

Fight from a distance before monsters reach you; a full draw takes 1 second and shoots farthest and hardest.

Why it exists

Fight from a distance, before they reach you.

The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).

The bow is the first ranged weapon.

Recipe

A 3×3 grid: three sticks forming a curve (top middle, middle left, bottom middle) and three strings in a column on the right. Mirrored works too.

How to use it

  • Hold the left button to draw: a full draw takes 1 second; release to shoot. A short draw shoots weaker and shorter.
  • Each shot takes one of your Arrows; with none, you cannot draw.
  • Arrows that stuck in the ground or a wall are picked back up as arrows.
  • It wears with every shot, about 350 shots in survival.

Next

The Crossbow: slower to draw, its arrow pierces a first target.

Hold the click to draw, release to shoot.
