How to find and craft Shock Arrows in Dying Light 2?

Dying Light 2 has no shortage of unique and lethal weapons available to players as they progress throughout the game's story. While specific quests and side missions will gain access to various weapons and ammunition, in most cases, it can be acquired through Craftmasters and Vendors.

For players working towards a ranged build, the bow and arrow allow them to inflict increased damage against human and Infested enemies while prioritising stealth. The Shock Arrows are an interesting ammunition choice for the bow as it provides lethal damage or, for a more passive option, stun them.

In this guide, we explore where to find the blueprint for the Shock Arrows, materials needed and how to craft them.

Where to find the blueprint for Shock Arrows in Dying Light 2?

As players will use the Shock Arrows with their bow, ranged weapons will only be unlocked after completing the "Let's Waltz" story quest. Once the mission is completed, acquiring blueprints for different arrows can be purchased from Craftsmasters and Vendors throughout the City.

More specifically, to locate the blueprint for the Shock Arrows, you will need to purchase them from the Craftmaster located at the Bazaar. Once they have acquired the blueprint, they can start crafting the shock arrows for themselves.

Additionally, they can refer to Craftmasters and Vendors to purchase scraps and materials needed for the Shock Arrows. While scraps can easily be looted from Infested corpses, feathers can be found near birdhouses on rooftops when looking for honey and chamomile.

Nevertheless, feathers are a precious material as quantities are scarce. It would be advised to use arrows responsible, like against human enemies instead of Infected threats.

Additionally, feathers can be sold to Vendors if you're in a tight pinch. You will get some good money for the feathers, but keeping feathers in your inventory is the best bet if you're going for a Ranged build.

How to craft Shock Arrows in Dying Light 2?

Once players have acquired the blueprint for Shock Arrows, they must ensure they have the right materials needed to craft them. These materials can either be looted, harvested or purchased from Craftsmasters and Vendors across the City.

The materials needed for Shock Arrows are Scraps (x10), Witing (x9) and Feathers (x1). With the blueprint and the right materials safely stored in your inventory, they can start crafting the Shock Arrows. Navigate to the Character Menu, select the Crafting option and then the Ammunition tab.

Here, they can select the Shock Arrows blueprint before choosing the "craft" option to begin the process. After the crafting process is completed, they can add the Shock Arrows to their inventory, used for ranged attacks against the Infested and added shock damage to humans.

There are other arrow blueprints to acquire from Craftmasters and Vendors, each providing unique effects. With your bow equipped and plenty of Shock Arrows at your disposal, you can put them to good use by stunning enemies or inflict fatal damage to them.
