Assassin's Creed Valhalla arrows explained

In Assassin's Creed Odyssey, you could obtain various types of arrow by crafting them with the right ingredients and materials. Unfortunately, I bring bad news. You cannot craft arrows in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. It feels like a step backwards but the materials you'd previously use to craft arrows, like wood and metal, aren't a thing in this game. You can farm iron ore, but that is used to upgrade equipment, not craft arrows.

So how do you get more arrows? There are two ways, the first of which is to buy them from merchants. There are a few different types of arrow in the game, such as light, hunting, and predator. Each one has different properties and cost if you hover over it in the menu.

The other, cheaper way to get arrows is to simply loot them as you go along. Most camps and towers will have cylindrical containers of arrows everywhere, from the tallest towers to the winding walls, for enemy arches to restock. Kill the enemies and loot the arrows to have a constant supply, as long as you have a look around. You can't choose which type of arrow you get from these, but as long as you're sticking them through enemy skulls, it doesn't really matter. Make sure you keep upgrading the quiver too, so you can carry more at once and have enough in reserve to take out a small army.

Give me a game and I will write every "how to" I possibly can or die trying. When I'm not knee-deep in a game to write guides on, you'll find me hurtling round the track in F1, flinging balls on my phone in Pokemon Go, pretending to know what I'm doing in Football Manager, or clicking on heads in Valorant.
