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 | 50 | ×1.5 | 50 m/s | 27 |
Crossbow | 60 | ×1.5 | 75 m/s | 17 |
Hunting Bow | 50 | ×1.5 | 50 m/s | 27 |
Mini Crossbow | 50 | ×1.5 | 55 m/s | 15 |
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 Wooden Arrow, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Tool Box | 7.4% | 5 |
 Sunken Crate | 4.9% | 5 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
What the Wooden Arrow gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 3 + 75% Stones, 9 + 38% Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 3 Stones, 7 + 50% Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 2 + 50% Stones, 6 + 25% Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 2 Stones, 5 Wood |
The Wooden Arrow breaks down into Stones 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.
In Rust, Wooden Arrow is a ammunition in the Ammunition category (item ID #-1234735557, console shortname arrow.wooden).

Crafting Wooden 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 Wooden Arrow loads into 4 weapons, as do the Bone Arrow, the Fire Arrow and the High Velocity Arrow.
When comparing Wooden 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.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |

| Handmade Shell | Ammunition | 64 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Scattershot | Ammunition | 4 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 660 path | Not recyclable |
| Scatter Dart | Ammunition | 64 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |

The Wooden Arrow is crafted by hand from 25 Wood and 10 Stones, 2 at a time in Rust. Raw ores smelt into metal inputs in a furnace while non-craftable components must be looted from monument crates before queuing the craft at your workbench.
The Wooden Arrow drops from 2 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Tool Box (7.4% chance) and Sunken Crate (4.9% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Wooden Arrow recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 2 Stones plus a 50% chance of one more and 6 Wood plus a 25% chance of one more. Radtown green recyclers return higher base material efficiency than safe-zone yellow recyclers, which trade lower output for peacekeeper turret protection.
The Wooden Arrow takes 3 seconds per batch of 2, down to 0.75 seconds at Workbench Level 2 or 3 in Rust. It is indexed under the Ammunition category alongside 43 other ammunition in Rust (item ID -1234735557), stacking to 64 units per slot.
Every player starts with the Wooden 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 -1234735557 across 44 ammunition, stacking to 64 units per slot.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Wooden 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 Wooden 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 -1234735557).
The Wooden Arrow has 32-bit signed item ID -1234735557 and shortname arrow.wooden 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 Wooden Arrow in the F1 developer console with inventory.give arrow.wooden 64 or inventory.giveid -1234735557 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.
