How to Use Shadow Hunter Bow

Hunter Arrow

Horizon Zero Dawn - Hunter Arrow Ridge-Wood
(x2)
Metal Shards
(x1)

This arrow is better used on smaller machines. It won't be as powerful as your Hardpoint Arrow, but it will still get the job done all while saving you resources. If you're dealing with a large machine, we recommend adding a Damage Coil to even the odds.

Fire Arrow

Horizon Zero Dawn - Fire Arrow Ridge-Wood
(x2)
Metal Shards
(x5)
Blaze
(x3)

This arrow is most effective against Corrupted Machines and machines with Fire vulnerablity. Alternatively, you can also set Blaze canisters off with a good shot. Other than that, this ammo type will mostly be for backup when you run out of your other damage type arrows.

Hardpoint Arrow

Horizon Zero Dawn - Hardpoint Arrow Ridge-Wood
(x5)
Metal Shards
(x10)

This arrow packs more of a punch than your average Hunter Arrow. It deals more tear than damage against machines. We recommend using this arrow against bulkier machines, especially those with a lot of tearable components.
