The first of the weapons you&#8217;ll create will probably be the Primitive Bow, which is just enough to get you started. Here&#8217;s <strong>how to make a Primitive Bow<\/strong> in 7 Days to Die and get started on your journey on the right foot.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Make A Primitive Bow<\/h2>\n<p>Thankfuly, you won&#8217;t need any prerequisities to make the Primitive Bow. You&#8217;ll be able to craft it right off the bat, since it&#8217;s a starting weapon in 7 Days to Die. However, you will need to earn up some materials.<\/p>\n<p>To craft a Primitive Bow in 7 Days to Die, you&#8217;ll need <strong>3 Plant Fibers<\/strong> and <strong>8 Wood<\/strong>. You can get the Wood you need by chopping down trees or wooden structures, while Plant Fibers can be found on the ground and in shrubbery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also need a <strong>Bows Crafting Skill <\/strong>of 1 for a low-quality bow, up to 9 for the highest-quality bow. (You can get this skill by reading the Bow Hunter skill magazine.)<\/p>\n<p>You can craft the Primitive Bow from the menu, without crafting any prior weapons or items.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While the Primitive Bow is a great starter weapon in 7 Days to Die, it isn&#8217;t the best option for prolonged play; you&#8217;ll certainly want a stronger weapon as you progress. Once you&#8217;ve successfully crafted and used a Primitive Bow, you might want to move on to more powerful weapons, like the <strong>Wood Bow<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 7 Days to Die, you&#8217;ll need to create weapons to defend yourself and catch food.
