I think I found your lost arrow?

[piddy3825]

I'm camping out in the cabin just above the fishing village on CH, when I inventory my supplies and I notice I'm getting low on provisions, so I decided I may as well go after some  game.  I leave the cabin and start the morning looking for and it doesn't take long that I spot him.  The bear hasn't noticed me, so I take the opportunity to seek higher ground.  I quickly clamber my way up a nice outcropping of rocks, crouch and mountain goat my way over the side, presenting myself with a clear shot!

I can hear him huffing and puffing as he slowly trundles his way towards me, not noticing that I'm perched on the side of this rock with a clear shot.
(look at that snort of breath)

I let fly and POW! 

He doesn't even bother to retaliate, rather he tucks his little tail and scoots off like a frightened rabbit. As he flees, I shoot another arrow and watch and it strikes him again,  but before I could nock another arrow,  the bear  bolts over the ridge and out of sight.
It takes me a while to work myself down the rock face, sustaining a little damage in the process and warily begin to follow the quickly disappearing blood trail.

Imaging my surprise when I cross over the ridge and find this...

so if your wondering where your arrow went, I think I found it...

Oh there it is. Funny coincidence yesterday i shot a bear 3 times i did not got any hitmarker (on the middle right of the screen when you gain experience) but there is blood and i dont see any arrows near where i shot so i assume he took the three. It took me about 1 real hour to fond him cuz i lost his track and then when i find his body there is no fricking arrows it pissed me off. Would you mind to send me some back?

That bear was in the middle of his acupuncture session.

Well damn I was wondering where my arrows had gone when I was hunting deer in Coastal Highway. You sneaky devil you

His bearing would indicate he'd experienced a (h)arrowing encounter.

Every time I kill anything, some of my arrows disappear. And birch saplings seem to be in limited supply.

Three hits to a moose that only has two arrows stuck in it. Two hits in the face to drop a bear. The dead bear only has one arrow in it.

I would dearly love to know how to repeat this splendid glitch you have found.

Do you remember how many arrows you got out of that porcupine?

Interesting enough, I pulled 27 intact shafts and 1 broken one from the carcass.  It got me to thinking, though, since all the updates that placed the lost and found boxes in the regions, could this have been the return of every lost arrow?  I checked my stats to see if there was any correlation between bear kills and the number of arrows found and it may be possible that I just got back all the arrows I had "lost" during gameplay since I had launched this particular character.  I'm over 800 days on this character and have 39 bear kills recorded.  I know for certain that I've killed a dozen bears using firearms only and the rest were with a bow.  39 - 12 = 27   hmmm.... (brain explodes) 🐻

😆I find this hilarious

but have you ever thought,

Maybe you aren't alone on Great Bear Island. Maybe that was a warning.

Lol, your player name reminds me of the other survival game title, THE FOREST.  In that game you crash land too, and you have to take on a group of mutant cannibals...

Well, the bright side, if I'm not alone, then at least I have most of their arrows now!
