For survivors who favor bows and crossbows, the arrowhead is the “core” of your ammunition—a crucial part. As its name suggests, this 矢尻（鉄鋼）／Steel Arrowhead is a sharp arrowhead made of steel, used when crafting Steel Arrows and Steel Bolts.
Purpose
Positioned above stone and iron arrowheads, this part serves as a dedicated material for higher-grade ammunition (Steel Arrows and Steel Bolts). It lets you craft, with your own hands, reliable ammo for late-game battles where you want to prioritize power, or for taking on heavily armored foes and high-health zombies.
Acquisition and Crafting Direction
Steel-tier parts are generally finished from higher-grade materials using processing equipment (crafting stations such as the forge). The surest way to check the exact recipe and required materials is on the in-game crafting screen, but once you’ve progressed far enough to reach steel gear and ammunition, it’s reassuring to have a mass-production line for these arrowheads set up as well.
When to Use It
- Players who want to keep using bows and crossbows as their main firepower
- Building up stock in preparation for large, consumption-heavy battles like the Blood Moon
- Since arrows can be recovered and reused, the better the ammo you assemble, the more your long-term cost efficiency improves
The arrowhead itself is a humble part, but whether or not you can switch it over to steel grade is the turning point that raises a bow user’s firepower a notch. If you’re aiming for a ranged build, this is definitely one to secure.
