Sal Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 So I was on my way to a trader located in a city I had not been to and I noticed 4 arrows just floating in the middle of the road lol (see first pic below). Then it happened again a few moments ago when I was on my way to a buried chest in the middle of nowhere (2nd pic). I just thought it was funny. But this begs the question....who the hell is firing these magical arrows? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's the football player in an act of protest for being removed from the game.

Ezed Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 You travel that way in the past? Kill some zombies with your bow then leave that area? I think it's the same thing as killing a zombie on the road then finding it's corpse there days later because you left the chunk before it despawned.

Like I said, I had never even been to that area before or even close (in the first pic anyways), it was 2.9km away from base. The 2nd pic I think I drove thru there before but never shot any arrows. I rarely ever use the bow at all. I only use it for wolves, bears, etc until I get a gun and enough ammo to supply both hordes(3 days) and looting.

Fox Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Is this an old save being played on a new version of the game? Edited February 17, 2022 by Fox (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenris Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Actually, now that @Sal mentions this.... In one of my current playthroughs (current version of the game, started fresh), I came across the same thing. I remember when I saw the floating arrows, thinking "I don't remember coming this way before" .. then a few seconds later "and if I did, shouldn't the arrows have despawned by now?". I can't remember if I could interact with the arrows or not. I pretty much shrugged my shoulders then promptly forgot about the incident until I read this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maharin Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Every time someone shoots an arrow straight up it comes down in someone else's game. Think of it as passive PvP. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fightingchook Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 its a known bug.... so should be fixed later. not game breaking so there's no rush... and just enjoy the free arrows while you can 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Blackbear Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I used to be one of the Duke's guards until I took an arrow in the knee. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramethzer0 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) This may be related to the same issue where I'll find dead zombies out in the streets in my MP game. Also, if you shoot beyond your ability to render, those arrows dont just simply disappear right away. They do land, and they are often just forgotten. I've found dead vultures, dogs, arrows, and even a pipe bomb just laying around before the despawn timer took it, sometimes days after. If I had to make a guess, it may have something to do with the fact that these things only resurface once a player comes within the appropriate distance to the item, where it respawns from the previous code save. Just an opinion based upon what I observed. Edited February 17, 2022 by Ramethzer0 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're lucky one of those arrows didn't hit you... or you wouldn't be adventuring anymore.

Rotor Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I ran into this last night. After firing some arrows at dire wolf and "missing", eventually i hit. Then ran out in the general direction where wolf was during my first few attempts and did not find any arrows. Later in the day I went further out mining honey and chopping wood and ran into an area where my 3 arrows were suspended in air. I was able to retrieve them and proceed on my merry way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
