Archery in general feels weak honestly, but crafting steel arrows is ridiculously plastic expensive. Maybe if you got arrows back 100% of the time, or even like 75%, okay. Or maybe if they cut the plastic cost in half. But for 10% more damage than iron arrows, just doesn’t feel worth it to me.

Gonna check this out for y'all. Whether its material cost or damage tweaks, if no ones using steel for these reasons it should be looked at.
That’s kind of you to consider based on a reddit rant lol. But yeah, i don’t know anyone who makes them, they don’t drop often in ammo containers (which kinda makes sense, as neither does AP ammo). Apart from that, with a min-max’d stealth archery build, there’s nothing that steel arrows can accomplish that iron arrows can’t do, at a fraction of the cost. So far, with a Lvl 6 fully modded compound bow, i’m able to 1 shot any sleeper with a sneak attack headshot with iron arrows. Including irradiated cops, bikers, soldiers, etc. Maybe steel arrows are intended to fulfill a more “guns blazing” (arrows blazing?) approach, what with their armor penetration. But if that’s the case they are too expensive to craft, even in bulk, when compared to firearm ammunition. 160 plastic will get you 100 arrows, and they shatter on impact too often to justify the cost, in my personal opinion.
again, thanks
It's amazing how well feedback is received when it is done respectfully and makes valid points :D I actually love it when people come to me and say "Hey, take a look at this maybe?"
What seems reasonable at the time of creation doesn't always turn out to be the best, even after testing, so it's important that GOOD feedback reaches us too.
