Bone Bow

The Bone Bow is a ranged weapon used for hunting. It is crafted through Ted Selly rather than being found as natural loot, and it consumes bone arrows as ammunition. Like other bows, it is aimed with right-click or the A button on Xbox controllers, then fired on release.

The Bone Bow is notable for its upgrade in the Night Market update, which improved its performance by making it fire farther and charge faster. That makes it a more practical choice for hitting targets at range, especially when tracking fast-moving wildlife or lining up shots before they approach. Because projectile damage from players no longer affects other players and farm animals, it is also safer to use around populated areas than it once was.

Its durability can be repaired at the Repair Table, so it remains worth maintaining if you use it regularly. Since it is a bow rather than a melee weapon, it is best used with enough room to aim and reposition between shots. The combination of range and charged shots makes it suited to hunting, while the use of bone arrows means it fits naturally into a combat setup built around sustained ranged attacks.
