Modern arrows are projectile weapons added in the v0.71 update of The Forest.
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
Modern arrows are non craftable arrows that can be found deep in caves or from yellow crates. The crates are visually identical to the cases that flares are stored in. It is unknown if they spawn randomly in these cases or if they are designated. If you load a pre-v0.71 save file and have already opened these cases, the game will replace the already opened flare crates with unopened modern arrow crates, assuming the case doesn't stay as a flare case. The Modern Bow location has quite a few modern arrows; there is a yellow crate with one and there are some on a box right next to the Modern Bow itself. At the time of release, the developers stated in the patch notes that modern arrows are best used with the Modern Bow, though it doesn't state why. It can be assumed that they said this because the combined stats of the modern bow and modern arrow currently provide the highest damage possible per bow shot (not counting poison/fire upgraded arrows).
On the PlayStation 4 version, the player must look down and press R1 to change between arrow types, including modern arrows.
