No workbench, 3s, yields 3
Faster at a higher workbench: 1.5s at Workbench Level 1, 0.75s at Workbench Level 2 or 3.
Every player starts with this blueprint. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table.
| Weapon | Damage | Headshot | Velocity | Damage per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Compound Bow | 40 | ×1.5 | 45 m/s | 22 |
Crossbow | 48 | ×1.5 | 67.5 m/s | 13 |
Hunting Bow | 40 | ×1.5 | 45 m/s | 22 |
Mini Crossbow | 40 | ×1.5 | 49.5 m/s | 12 |
Damage is one body hit up close, with no armour. A headshot multiplies it against players only. Damage per second empties one magazine and counts the reload. Velocity and spread are applied locally by your game client, while the server bounds their limits.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Bone Arrow, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Tool Box | 4.9% | 5 to 9 |
 Sunken Crate | 3.3% | 5 to 9 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
What the Bone Arrow gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 2 + 50% Bone Fragments, 6 + 25% Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 2 Bone Fragments, 5 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 1 + 67% Bone Fragments, 4 + 17% Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 1 + 33% Bone Fragments, 3 + 33% Wood |
The Bone Arrow breaks down into Bone Fragments and Wood.
A recycler takes 7 per cycle, so a full stack of 64 goes through in 10 cycles.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “2 + 50%” means 2 every time and a 50% chance of one more.
In Rust, Bone Arrow is a ammunition in the Ammunition category (item ID #215754713, console shortname arrow.bone). This ammunition loads into 4 distinct weapon platforms across standard server combat. Inventory storage stacks up to 64 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
An Arrow equipped with a large bone arrowhead making it very easy to hit targets at the expense of damage.
Crafting Bone Arrow in Rust takes 3 seconds by hand without a workbench, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
The Bone Arrow loads into 4 weapons, as do the Fire Arrow, the High Velocity Arrow and the Wooden Arrow.
When comparing Bone Arrow against related ammunition in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (3 seconds per craft) and recycle surplus spares at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base efficiency) rather than a safe-zone yellow recycler (forty percent efficiency) to maximize recovered materials.

Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Bone Arrow despawns after 5 minutes by default. Picking it back up into a player inventory or storing it inside a base container immediately resets that ground despawn timer, which the server scales by item rarity tier.
The Bone Arrow stacks to 64 per slot in Rust.

The Bone Arrow has 32-bit signed item ID 215754713 and shortname arrow.bone in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Ammunition category (stack limit 64 units per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Bone Arrow in the F1 developer console with inventory.give arrow.bone 64 or inventory.giveid 215754713 64 for 64 units. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
