In the following guide, we’ll explain how you can get your hands on the Magbow in Abiotic Factor, which is a makeshift crossbow.

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.
How To Craft the Magbow in Abiotic Factor

You will need to gather the following materials and bring them to a crafting station to make the Magbow.
Material | How To Get |
---|---|
4x Magnetic Alloy | Break down the Defense Wood Crates found in the Security Sector. Enemies you encounter in close-quarters combat in The Night Realm and Voussoire may also drop this material. |
1x Steel Cable | Head to The Train region or the Manufacturing West mines. Break down Mine Crates to acquire this material. |
2x Capacitor | Slay Power Leeches and Electro-Pests to get this item. The former is an enemy type that spawns during the Rolling Blackout events. On the other hand, you can find Electro-Pests in the Particle Labs and level 2 of the Cascade Labs. |
2x Optic Lens | Trade a Reinforced Hose with the Blacksmith to obtain this material. |
With these materials in hand, head to a crafting station to make the Magbow. After creating the makeshift crossbow, you’ll also need to craft its ammo, known as Rebar Bolts. To make this ammunition, combine Rebar and Refined Carbon at a crafting station. You can get Rebar by breaking down Manufacturing Wood Crates and Mine Crates, while Refined Carbon comes from breaking down coal.

- Damage: 120
- Damage Type: Sharp
- Durability: 30
