Workbench Level 1, 3s, yields 2

Faster at a higher workbench: 1.5s at Workbench Level 2, 0.75s at Workbench Level 3.

Every player starts with this blueprint. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table.

Guns that fire the High Velocity Arrow

What the High Velocity Arrow does in each weapon (4)

WeaponDamageHeadshotVelocityDamage per second
Compound Bow40×1.580 m/s22

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.

High Velocity Arrow recycling

What the High Velocity Arrow gives back in each recycler

Recycler Efficiency You get
Red recycler75%1 + 88% Metal Fragments, 7 + 50% Wood
Green recycler (powered)60%1 + 50% Metal Fragments, 6 Wood
Green recycler50%1 + 25% Metal Fragments, 5 Wood
Yellow recycler40%1 Metal Fragments, 4 Wood

The High Velocity Arrow breaks down into Metal 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. “1 + 88%” means 1 every time and a 88% chance of one more.

Lighter, faster arrow that deals less damage.

  • Acquisition profile (game files): Uncraftable in vanilla Rust (0 loot tables, 0 downstream recipes)
  • Monument recycling yield: Radtown green units return 50% of ingredients (5s cycle), beating 40% yellow safe-zone units by +25%
  • Maintenance rule: Carries no condition wear bar and needs no bench maintenance
  • Conveyor & locker automation: Filter by category or shortname arrow.hv to auto-stock locker kits and storage boxes

High Velocity Arrow crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust

Crafting High Velocity Arrow in Rust takes 3 seconds at a Workbench Level 1, 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.

Where it sits

The High Velocity Arrow loads into 4 weapons, as do the Bone Arrow, the Fire Arrow and the Wooden Arrow.

How High Velocity Arrow compares to related ammunition in Rust

When comparing High Velocity 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.

Frequently asked questions about High Velocity Arrow in Rust

What guns use the High Velocity Arrow in Rust?

The High Velocity Arrow loads into 4 weapons: Compound Bow, Crossbow, Hunting Bow and Mini Crossbow in Rust. It belongs to the Ammunition category under numeric ID -1023065463 across 44 ammunition, stacking to 64 units per slot, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -1023065463 64.

How do you get the High Velocity Arrow in Rust?

The High Velocity Arrow is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 20 Wood and 5 Metal Fragments, 2 at a time in Rust. Players smelt raw ores in a furnace and gather required components from monument crates before queuing the craft at their workbench.

What does the High Velocity Arrow recycle into in Rust?

The High Velocity Arrow recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 1 Metal Fragments plus a 25% chance of one more and 5 Wood. Radtown green recyclers return higher base material efficiency than safe-zone yellow recyclers, which trade lower output for peacekeeper turret protection.

How long does the High Velocity Arrow take to craft in Rust?

The High Velocity Arrow takes 3 seconds per batch of 2, down to 0.75 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Ammunition category under numeric ID -1023065463 across 44 ammunition, stacking up to 64 units per inventory or container slot.

How much scrap does it take to research the High Velocity Arrow in Rust?

Every player starts with the High Velocity Arrow blueprint, so it never needs researching; a Research Table would still charge 10 scrap for it in Rust. It belongs to the Ammunition category under numeric ID -1023065463 across 44 ammunition across 44 published Ammunition entries.

How long does the High Velocity Arrow take to despawn in Rust?

Dropped on the ground in Rust, the High Velocity 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.

What is the item ID for the High Velocity Arrow in Rust?

The High Velocity Arrow has 32-bit signed item ID -1023065463 and shortname arrow.hv 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).

What is the give command for the High Velocity Arrow in Rust?

Server administrators in Rust spawn the High Velocity Arrow in the F1 developer console with inventory.give arrow.hv 64 or inventory.giveid -1023065463 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.
