As a seasoned survivor who’s spent countless hours fending for myself in the unforgiving jungles of Green Hell, I can confidently say that each tool in our arsenal plays a crucial role in staying alive.

Playing Green Hell can be quite intense since even small actions like stepping on the wrong puddle or consuming toxic mushrooms can lead to dire consequences. It’s not just about fighting, as hostile creatures and local natives pose constant threats as well. Bows are crucial in this game for both combat and survival purposes.

In the game ‘Green Hell’, bows might not boast as much variety in upgrades as other weapon types, but they excel in delivering fatal headshots, a significant advantage in both combat and hunting. Mastering these weapons demands some proficiency, yet every player should keep a bow handy throughout their journey due to its versatility. The key resources players must gather are long branches from medium trees and rope obtained by collecting liana vines on large trees. Dive into the following information to discover the top bows in the game and their unique crafting formulas.

5 Fire Bow

Not What It Sounds Like

Crafting Recipe: Bow (x1), Small Stone (x1), Small Stick (x1)
Weight: 2.1kg
Durability: N/A

In contrast to the other bows mentioned, the fire bow serves a vital role for survival in the jungle. This tool resembles a traditional survival gadget where a makeshift bow (crafted from string and sticks) is swiftly drawn across wood, generating heat through friction and eventually igniting tinder.

In-game, the Fire Bow functions identically, serving as a means for players to ignite fires. In critical scenarios, fires are indispensable for purposes such as cooking, heating water, and maintaining warmth. However, it’s important to note that crafting a Fire Bow necessitates a basic bow first, and it holds no significance in battle. As a result, it ranks lower on the list of useful tools.

4 Bow

Old Reliable

Crafting Recipe: Long Stick (x1), Rope (x1)
Weight: 3kg
Durability: 200 shots

In Green Hell, this is the initial type of shot players can take, and it stays useful throughout the game due to a unique feature – all bows in the game inflict the same base level of damage. However, the damage can vary based on the arrow type, while the overall effectiveness of the bow depends on the player’s archery skill.

Considering those statistics, what sets one bow apart from another as being “superior” often comes down to their weight. Among the three types, the fundamental bow holds the joint-highest weight of 3kg. In the initial stages of the game (where this bow is usually employed), players are likely to use basic arrows, crafted using two feathers and a single small stick.

3 Tribal Bow

Spoils Of War

Crafting Recipe: Can’t be crafted
Weight: 3kg
Durability: 200 shots

Essentially, tribal bows share similarities with standard bows, but they’re exclusively obtained from the Waraha hunters. This means that players can consistently farm these bows, which is an advantage over having to craft them manually.

Additionally, tribal arrows can be found from the errant shots of Waraha hunters. These arrows are slightly heavier and require more storage room compared to standard ones, but players can acquire an unlimited number by enticing the hunters to shoot at trees instead. Remember to stay clear while they’re shooting to avoid getting hit yourself.

2 Bamboo Blowpipe

Technically Not A Bow

Crafting Recipe: Long Bamboo Stick (x1), Rope (x2)
Weight: 2.2kg
Durability: N/A

The bamboo blowpipe isn’t a bow, but as it’s the only other ranged weapon in Green Hell (not counting throwing a spear), it belongs on this list. It isn’t very effective at fighting the Waraha, since they have a lore-related reason for being resistant to the poison darts. Yet, if players want to master animal husbandry in Green Hell, it’s an essential tool.

As a thrilled player, I get to craft lethal yet tranquilizing projectiles known as unfinished darts. These magical items are concocted with ingredients like a single poison dart frog and the frog stretcher. In the dense jungle, these darts can either end a creature’s life or render it unconscious for taming. The Capybara, Peccary, and Tapir are among those that can be subdued in this manner. However, beware! Other creatures will meet their demise if exposed to the same poison darts.

1 Bamboo Bow

The Survivalists’ Choice

Crafting: Long Bamboo Stick (x1), Rope (x1)
Weight: 2.5kg
Durability: 200 shots

Among the bows in Green Hell, it’s the bamboo bow that stands out as the top pick. It’s lighter than the other two options, and this difference might be more significant than many players realize. In a game where collecting resources is crucial, every gram counts.

Absolutely, a player’s current archery proficiency will continue to influence shot speed and stability, so there’s no delay in switching to a bamboo bow once it becomes available. By then, players might also have the ability to create metal arrows (1x metal arrowhead cast, 2x feathers, 1x small stick, 1x rope). These are the preferred option for inflicting damage.

Community-conducted testing reveals that approximately 6 less metal arrows are needed to slay a Caiman compared to standard arrows (18 versus 24). This implies a minor difference in damage, yet it offers a noticeable advantage when facing adversaries with higher health reserves.
