Bow
Hold the click to draw, release to shoot: one arrow a shot, picked back up where it stuck.
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.
