There are three types of bows in Rust, each with their own unique characteristics. The easiest to craft is the hunting bow. The other two types of bows, the Compound Bow and the Crossbow, have their own characteristics. In this guide you will learn not only about their characteristics, but also about the best skins for bows in Rust.

Types of bows in Rust

Hunting Bow

The hunting bow is the easiest bow to make and requires minimal resources and ingredients. This bow provides normal attack damage and is capable of killing enemies with two or three direct hits. It is especially nice that arrows fired from the hunting bow can be collected and reused.

Compound bow

The compound bow in Rust is much more difficult and expensive to make compared to the hunting bow. It has unique shooting characteristics: if you wait before releasing an arrow, it will significantly increase your normal attack damage. However, if you shoot instantly without aiming the weapon, the damage will be reduced and the arrows will do less damage to the enemy. It takes practice to use this bow effectively, as firing it quickly is not optimal.

Crossbow

The crossbow is probably the most effective and easiest to handle of all the bows in the game. It uses a variety of arrow types, including high-speed, bone, wood, and fire arrows. However, when it comes to high-speed fire, the crossbow is inferior to other bows. Its number of turns is only 17, compared to 60 for a hunting bow and 15 to 60 for a Compound Bow.
