Bone Arrows are a type of Arrow that were added in update v0.55 of The Forest. They are exclusively used by the Crafted Bow and the Modern Bow.

Gameplay[]

Bone arrows do 40% more damage than regular arrows.

Bone arrows, like all other arrows, are capable of head shots. This will most likely instantly kill a cannibal if it strikes them in the head.

On the PlayStation 4 version, the player must look down and press R1 to change between arrow types, including bone arrows.

In the PC VR version, the player must look straight down and press the Left Trigger to change between arrow types.
