In Abiotic Factor, you’ll mostly fend off enemies with a variety of melee weapons. Even when you do come across ranged weapons, their ammunition is scarce, so you won’t be able to use them as frequently as you’d like. However, ranged weapons give you a clear edge in combat, allowing you to deal damage from a distance. That’s why the Magbow is one of the most convenient ranged weapons you can obtain in the game. You will only acquire it in the mid- to late-game stages.

In the following guide, we’ll help you craft the Magbow in Abiotic Factor and go over some of its stats and characteristics.
