How to Craft Acid Arrows in Horizon Forbidden West

How to craft Acid Arrows in Horizon Forbidden West is something that many players are wondering about now that the highly anticipated action RPG sequel has finally been released on PlayStation consoles.

Here's a breakdown of how to craft Acid Arrows in Horizon Forbidden West.

How to Craft Acid Arrows in Horizon Forbidden West

Just as in the original game, crafting any type of arrow is essential to know and very easy to do on the fly in Horizon Forbidden West.

To begin making arrows, simply hold the L1 button to pop up the weapon wheel.

With the wheel open, navigate to the Acid Arrows section with the left stick. The bottom right will indicate the option to make new batches of the highlighted arrows by pressing and holding the X button.

Be sure to keep in mind, of course, that it costs material to craft arrows. Acid Arrows are crafted in batches of five in exchange for five Metal Shards, two Ridge-Wood and three Metalburn. Metal shards can be collected from defeated machines, Ridge-Wood materials can be found from small trees and Metalburn can be scavenged from Corrupted Machines and Chariot Machines.

Horizon Forbidden West is available now exclusively for the PlayStation 4 and PS5.
