v0.34:Arrow
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
 | This feature has one or more outstanding bugs. Please view the Bugs section for details. |
An arrow is a pointed projectile usually fired from a bow. They consist of a wooden, bone, or metal shaft topped with a pointed head (Unlike real life, arrows are made from only one material). Arrows are ammunition for bows, and cannot be fired from crossbows. Bows aren't used much (if at all) in fortress mode, as dwarves cannot wield them. Therefore, arrows are also of limited use, and can really only be used as ammunition for bow-filled weapon traps. Arrows can also be thrown or used in melee, although there are better weapons.
As with all projectiles, arrows pierce nearly any material, and are pretty dangerous in almost any circumstance. If it doesn't break on impact, an arrow can be recovered from the ground, or the body of whatever unfortunate creature happened to make a worthwhile target.
In adventure mode, elf and human players can wield bows (and therefore use arrows), while dwarven players cannot.
Bugs
- If squad is assigned multiple ammo types, dwarves with "individual choice ranged" carry wrong ammoBug:1374.
