Notes[edit]

  • Constructing a makeshift bow grants three charges of this effect.
  • One charge is removed when using Aimed Shot.
  • Giving the bow to an Unarmed Villager or interacting with a Weapon Crate will remove this effect completely.
  • While the effect is active, you're wielding a weapon with the Improvised Short Bow Skin.
  • Interacting with a Weapon Crate while holding the completed makeshift weapon will earn credit towards the Up in Arms achievement (one for each of the three different weapon types) and the Junkyard Weaponsmith achievement.
