There are several weapons in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, including melee and ranged options. The main protagonist, Henry, finds all kinds of trouble as he treks across Bohemia, so having a weapon on hand is a smart move. Bows and Crossbows let players rain death from a distance, but of course, they’re nothing without arrows.
If players use a Bow, 
Black Arrow are the most powerful and deal the most damage. However, they are rare and only available in a specific area. This guide will show players exactly where to find Black Arrows and how to craft them in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Best Bows, Ranked
If you're training Henry as a marksman in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, it's best to have at least one of these powerful bows on hand.
Where to Get Black Arrows in KCD2
Black Arrows are, hands down, one of the best arrow types in KCD2. They are capable of felling their targets in one hit, so stocking up on them is a good idea for those who favor ranged weapons. While most other arrows can be bought from Blacksmiths, Traders, and Carpenters, Black Arrows are a bit more elusive.
Black Arrows are found in Kuttenberg at the shooting range near Pschitoky, toward the southwest. There, under the shade of a few battered trees and surrounded by worn-out targets, players will find a man named Lefty. Lefty will tell Henry about a special arrow he's been using, one tipped with a raven’s feather, and offer to make some if brought the right materials.
Players need Raven, or Rook, Feathers to make Black Arrows. Feathers can be picked up from nests. Nests are marked on players' maps once discovered, and can be knocked out of their trees with a stone or an arrow. This can be difficult at times, but luckily, there are a few Black Arrows nearby that Henry can pick up.
Around Lefty’s range, there are several Black Arrows already stuck in the targets. Good news: Lefty doesn't mind if players help themselves, so take them all. Players can recover arrows shot into enemies; rob or loot them after battle to pull the arrow from their corpses. The same goes for hunting animals: butcher them after the kill, and the arrows are tucked inside.
If players need more, they can bring him some feathers, and he'll make them.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 - How to Get a Gun
Guns are powerful weapons in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, so here's how to get and use them.
Tips for Shooting Bows and Crossbows in KCD2
Players can build weapon proficiencies that make using weapons easier and give them stronger attacks. Ranged weapons can be tricky to use when first starting, but with practice and other resources, Bows and Crossbows become very powerful.
Aiming Bows and Crossbows uses up tons of stamina. Players should increase their Marksmanship stat, and Henry won't shake as much.
Those on PC can use a cheat to make their aiming dot reticle always on for better accuracy when shooting.
Players can increase Marksmanship by doing the following:
- Shooting bandits
- Hunting animals
- Visiting Shooting ranges
- Reading Skill books
For a temporary boost to Marksmanship, Henry can drink a Bowman's Brew potion. The recipe can be picked up from the trader Barnaby near Trosky. Marksmanship also comes into play when players use Firearms, which are especially hard to use in combat.
Like other skills in KCD2, Marksmanship has Perks that give Henry buffs and advantages when using ranged weapons.
