Workbench Level 1, 3s, yields 2
Faster at a higher workbench: 1.5s at Workbench Level 2, 0.75s at Workbench Level 3.
Researching the blueprint costs 15 scrap at a Research Table.
| Weapon | Damage | Headshot | Velocity | Damage per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Compound Bow | 40, +20 within 3 m | ×1.5 | 40 m/s | 32 |
Crossbow | 48, +20 within 3 m | ×1.5 | 60 m/s | 19 |
Hunting Bow | 40, +20 within 3 m | ×1.5 | 40 m/s | 32 |
Mini Crossbow | 40, +20 within 3 m | ×1.5 | 44 m/s | 18 |
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 Fire Arrow, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Tool Box | 4.9% | 3 to 5 |
 Sunken Crate | 3.3% | 3 to 5 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
What the Fire Arrow gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 75% Cloth, 3 + 75% Low Grade Fuel, 7 + 50% Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 60% Cloth, 3 Low Grade Fuel, 6 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 50% Cloth, 2 + 50% Low Grade Fuel, 5 Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 40% Cloth, 2 Low Grade Fuel, 4 Wood |
The Fire Arrow breaks down into Cloth, Low Grade Fuel 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. “3 + 75%” means 3 every time and a 75% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, Fire Arrow is a ammunition in the Ammunition category (item ID #14241751, console shortname arrow.fire). 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.
A fuel soaked arrow, ignite it by aiming.
Crafting Fire Arrow in Rust takes 3 seconds at a Workbench Level 1 once the 15 scrap blueprint node is unlocked, 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 Fire Arrow loads into 4 weapons, as do the Bone Arrow, the High Velocity Arrow and the Wooden Arrow.
When choosing between Fire Arrow and related ammunition in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (15 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 435-scrap tech tree path and save 420 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fire Arrow | Ammunition | 64 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 435 path | Not recyclable |
| 40mm Shotgun Round | Ammunition | 24 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| 40mm HE Grenade | Ammunition | 12 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| 40mm Smoke Grenade | Ammunition | 12 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
To compare Fire Arrow against every item in its inventory category, browse All 44 items in Ammunition, or plan prerequisite scrap paths on the The Workbench Level 1 tech tree, tile by tile.
The Fire Arrow loads into 4 weapons: Compound Bow, Crossbow, Hunting Bow and Mini Crossbow in Rust. It belongs to the Ammunition category under numeric ID 14241751 across 44 ammunition and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 14241751 64.
The Fire Arrow is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 20 Wood, 2 Cloth and 10 Low Grade Fuel, 2 at a time, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Smelting raw ores and looting required components from monument crates lets players queue the craft at their workbench.
The Fire Arrow drops from 2 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Tool Box (4.9% chance) and Sunken Crate (3.3% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Fire Arrow recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into a 50% chance of a Cloth, 2 Low Grade Fuel plus a 50% chance of one more and 5 Wood. It belongs to the Ammunition category under numeric ID 14241751 across 44 ammunition.
The Fire Arrow takes 3 seconds per batch of 2, down to 0.75 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It sits in the Ammunition catalog with item ID 14241751 alongside 43 related ammunition, stacking up to 64 units per inventory or container slot.
Blueprint progression for Fire Arrow at Workbench Level 1 in Rust charges 15 scrap on the target node and 435 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 15 scrap.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Fire 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 Fire Arrow stacks to 64 per slot in Rust. Players can split a pile in half with middle-click drag or move a custom quantity with Shift-click drag across inventory slots, storage boxes, and the Tool Cupboard, while dropped copies despawn after 5 minutes under the Ammunition category (item ID 14241751).
The Fire Arrow has 32-bit signed item ID 14241751 and shortname arrow.fire 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 Fire Arrow in the F1 developer console with inventory.give arrow.fire 64 or inventory.giveid 14241751 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.
