Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.21.0-pre.1 - 1.21.6, outdated):
morearrows_1.2.1.zip  1-click install

Requires Combat Overhaul and Reading Comprehension

Meant to add missing damage types to bows for players that don't use Crossbows and Firearms.

Adds 3 arrow types:

  • barbed - more damage, less damage tier
  • bodkin - piercing damage type, more damage tier, less damage
  • blunt - blunt damage type, less damage tier, less damage

 

Stop asking me to make this mod not depend on CO. In vanilla, damage tiers and damage types have no effect on gameplay. You DON'T need this mod in vanilla, it does not make sense.

I just want to double check that there aren't any conflicts/issues that you're aware of before I patch out most of the vanilla arrows that overlap with the Bodkin Arrows in this mod?

BrotherActivus, Feb 8th at 5:37 PM

The arrows from this mod aren't useable to craft the Bow Quiver from Quivers and Sheaths. 

Redpaws, Feb 7th at 6:53 PM

I believe this mod needs a rebalance, after the CO rebalance. These uses the numbers of the older damage model, but with the new bow multipliers. Barbed steel arrows from a longbow went from doing 16.2 damage to 27, hah.

Slavguy, Dec 9th 2025 at 7:16 AM

I love arrows. Incredible mod, the different arrow-heads look awesome!

Siffrin0, Nov 29th 2025 at 1:43 PM

animegamer87 Just make a simple config change to enemy HP so your arrows one-shot everything, Boom! Better Arrows!

animegamer87 vanilla arrows has no damage tier, so this arrows wont either. This is not an "Arrows overhaul" mod, this is mod that adds more specialized arrows for CO bows utilizing the depth CO adds to vanilla combat. If you want arrows overhaul mod for vanilla you can ask some other modder to make it, or commission it to me for $500 (minimum price I take for any amount of work). In vanilla you have damage stat, and thats all, in pvp damage tier matter, yes, but I dont care about pvp, and pvp in vanilla is broken anyway, so who else cares.

 

Whats the point of arrows with just more damage that are made the same way as all other arrows? This does not make sense. Please do make sense.

animegamer87, Nov 29th 2025 at 5:07 AM

Maltiez but the arrows are better are they not? and if it were to be used for pvp or for roleplay purposes im sure some people could find use of the other features. if you dont wish to do so that is fine, but i think it would be cool to go the route of overhaul lib like crossbows and firearms without having an absolute attachment to all of the changes combat overhaul makes to have the better arrows this provides, with extra compatability for combat overhaul baked in.

 

im not demanding this at all, but you did ask what the point would be without combat overhaul and i think everyone would like more arrows with more damage

Maltiez , Nov 27th 2025 at 3:16 PM

animegamer87 it is not "better arrows", it is "more arrows". Why would you ever need this mod outside of CO? Have you read the top comment before posting your own?

animegamer87, Nov 27th 2025 at 2:47 AM

Maltiez it would be cool to be able to use better arrows without having to get into the combat overhaul exosystem, as some of us dont like the animation changes and many mods are not compatible

 

Maltiez , Nov 20th 2025 at 6:56 AM

ZeroAresIV Why? Whats the point of this mod without CO?

ZeroAresIV, Nov 20th 2025 at 2:04 AM

I wish this mod didnt require combat overhaul 

ShadyZer0, Nov 18th 2025 at 9:50 AM

I would love Poison arrows or Poison bolts and when you poison an animal you cant eat the poison meat, Thats my only suggestion and wish

ZeroAresIV, Nov 13th 2025 at 9:23 PM

Explosive bolts for crowd control would be very fun. Imagine strapping a scrap bomb to the end of an arrow

Maltiez , Nov 1st 2025 at 3:18 AM

Realistic fire arrow will have only one use case: set flammable blocks on fire from a distance. May be useful for pvp servers, otherwise too niche.

josword, Oct 31st 2025 at 4:01 PM (modified Oct 31st 2025 at 4:02 PM)

please add fire arrows and fire basket arrows, as well blunts should have an affect to add weight to small game animals to simulate its use in real life,also wooden blunts are more common in real life, so maby a subset of stone age arows eg wooden tip arrows that act like piercing damage type that maby you cook in the fire or hold over one in order to char  the end and strengthen it, im a really big archery buff and love your mods so im just throwing around ideas, but fire arrows would be fucking sick love your work bro 

V7I, Oct 17th 2025 at 9:01 PM

More Bolts? PLEASE?! 

Vanra, Sep 15th 2025 at 8:59 AM

Noticed and issue with XSkills (not sure should i post it here or at Xskills post since XSkills and CO should be compatible?)
Bodkin/Serrated/Blunt doesn't work with Archery skills, arrows don't receive bonus damage.

Aksyl, Aug 16th 2025 at 7:40 PM (modified Aug 16th 2025 at 7:44 PM)

I'd think blunt would do less piercing damage but have a tiny bit of knockback, and is there any kind of stun effect? Just to disrupt a charge or stagger a target?

Blunt weapons are typically used to deal with armored foes, and I'm just trying to think of how to translate that effect.

Maltiez , Aug 15th 2025 at 12:10 AM

Oh, will fix

Mr_Liberty, Aug 15th 2025 at 12:06 AM

Will the stack size for finished arrowheads be raised from 1 to 64 to make it like the vanilla arrowheads? Dropping a newly-smithed stack of any arrowheads to quench them in water causes them to not form a single stack when picked up again.

PazuzuBlake, May 19th 2025 at 9:34 AM

can we add molds? cuz it makes sense init?

Maltiez , Apr 20th 2025 at 3:46 PM

May be

Poj, Apr 20th 2025 at 3:21 PM

Are there any plans to make the same options available for your crossbows?

Maltiez , Apr 7th 2025 at 7:40 AM

DoraiYu

Yeah, noticed already, thanks for report

DoraiYu, Apr 7th 2025 at 7:37 AM

Oh, your parts have:

"code": "ingot-*"

 

you need:

"code": "game:ingot-*"

DoraiYu, Apr 7th 2025 at 7:17 AM

am i just missing something? handbook doesnt show recipe and they arent smithable on the anvil

Ixon, Apr 7th 2025 at 12:33 AM

Maltiez

the one that looks like copper is bizmuth bronze.

Maltiez , Apr 5th 2025 at 9:54 PM

Thumbnail is missleading, there are no copper arrows, only bronze, iron and steel

Zuul, Apr 5th 2025 at 6:58 PM

Wow! Nice work!

Michaloid , Apr 5th 2025 at 1:52 PM

Got it 👍

narkler, Apr 5th 2025 at 9:45 AM

very cool

Maltiez , Apr 5th 2025 at 1:34 AM

In Bullseye there is no difference between damage type and almost no between damage tiers

Michaloid , Apr 5th 2025 at 1:28 AM

Will this eventually gonna come for bullseye or just for CO?
