Arrows can be a great ranged weapon to deal damage to enemies without entering their domain, but you'll need a mechanism to fire that arrow. Once you've created a good bow, you can then move on to creating arrows in the title.

Here are the materials required to craft arrows in The Forest:

• 1 Stick + 5 Feathers = 5 arrows

Once you've acquired enough materials to create arrows in the game, open up your inventory, and left-click on the stick and feathers to add them to the center of the inventory. Then, click on the large gear icon to craft arrows.

Target

You can improve your aim by creating a wood target and practicing with it:

1 Wood Target:

• Stick x4
• Log x1

Once you're confident with your archery skills, you can venture out into the Island and put the arrows to use. Normal arrows can be extremely effective against enemies, often killing them in one hit. However, things will be slightly difficult with the more advanced enemies in The Forest.

5 Bone Arrows:

• Stick x1
• Feather x5
• Bones x5

5 Fire Arrows:

• Arrows (Any) x5
• Cloth x1
• Booze x1

5 Poison Arrows:

Storing Arrows

Once you've crafted enough arrows in The Forest, you'll soon need an object to store these arrows if your base gets attacked. The first upgrade you can craft in the game is an Arrow Basket.

1 Arrow Basket:

• 25 sticks

As you progress through the game, you can also craft an upgrade that can increase your maximum arrow-carrying capacity from 30 to 50 arrows. This item can ensure that you are constantly stocked up with ammunition, especially when the game gets progressively harder:

1 Quiver:

• Rabbit Fur x3
• Rope x1
