Description[ | ]
The Primitive Bow is a craftable weapon in 7 Days to Die.
It is a medium-range weapon that fires arrows as Ammunition. A Primitive Bow can be used with four different types of arrows: Stone Arrow, Iron Arrow, Steel Arrow and Flaming Arrow, and Exploding Arrow.
It is considered as a starter weapon, because the player can craft it right at the beginning of his game and because of its low cost to craft.
To equip a different type of ammo than the default stone arrows, press and hold R, then select the ammo type you want.
Combat[ | ]
During combat, a Primitive Bow is a powerful medium to long range weapon. At short range, however, the player may have trouble because it requires reloading for each shot.
Due to its slow firing rate, a Primitive Bow should be used with care at short range, against more than one enemy or wild animal.
Bows are great for stealth attacks, as firing an arrow doesn't make a sound and won't alert nearby zombies. Hitting a zombie, without killing him, does alert the zombie.

Notes[ | ]
- The damages given are based on the values of the different types of arrows that the bow can use. The bow itself (without arrows) can not cause any damage.
- Aiming slightly above the head usually guarantees a headshot. (this depends on how far away you are from the mob)
- Arrows and bolts have a chance to apply a Arrow Critical Bleedout debuff, which drains 1 health per second for 50s.
