Where to Find Compound Bow
Compound Bow is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Ammunition Compound Bow Uses
Compound Bow fires Reinforced Arrow, and nothing else — running dry mid-fight is the usual way this weapon lets you down, so keep the recipe unlocked before you rely on it.
| Ammo | Yield | Craft cost |
|---|---|---|
 Reinforced Arrow | ×10 | Refined Ingot ×2, Carbon Fiber ×2 |
Schematics That Unlock Compound Bow
Compound Bow is not learned from the Technology tree — you need a schematic for it. One schematic grants the recipe, and they are world loot — chests, boss Pals and the late-game pools — rather than anything you research. Higher-rarity copies of the same schematic raise the quality of what you end up crafting.
| Schematic | Rarity | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
 Compound Bow Schematic 2 | 2★ | Snowfields, Enemy camp boss stashes in the Desert, Enemy camp loot in the Mount Obsidian +3 more (grade 3/4/5/6) · Supply drops in the Snowfields (5.34%) |
