Arrow

Arrows are craftable projectile weapons added in update v0.05 to The Forest.

Gameplay
Arrows come in five types: normal, modern, bone, poison, and fire. They are used in conjunction with the bow as a ranged weapon, and are therefore useless without a bow. After an enemy is dead, the player can collect the arrows used from the body, though fire and poison arrows will become normal arrows again. Additionally, if the player shoots and misses, it is possible to collect the arrow from the ground where it landed.

The bow and arrows are most useful for ranged combat, being generally much too slow in close quarters. The player can stand on a platform or cliff ledge and pick off the enemies below. Normal arrows are suggested for animals, as most require only one hit to kill. Fire, Poison, and Bone arrows are intended for cannibals and mutants (with the exception of babies, who should also be hit with normal arrows, as they only require one hit to kill).

On the PlayStation 4 version, the player must look down and press  to change between arrow types.

Practicing aiming can be done by building a wood target:
