Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 is well underway now and it has completely changed the way we play the game with the new crafting and hunting mechanics. Rather than a standard loot pool it is now customizable with players able to craft (no pun intended) their perfect loadout.

Here is how to complete Craft a Mechanical Bow, a Mechanical Explosive Bow, and a Mechanical Shockwave Bow.

Craft a Mechanical Bow, a Mechanical Explosive Bow, and a Mechanical Shockwave Bow

Chapter 2 Season 6 has seen the addition of crafting, which allows players to craft their perfect load out.

Players can craft either Primal or Mechanical weapons, Primal being more primitive versions of weapons and are largely based off vaulted weapons such as the Drum Shotgun, while Mechanical are more traditional weapons such as the Assault Rifle, Pump, and SMG.

Bows have been added to the game as a replacement for Sniper Rifles and can also be crafted as Primal or Mechanical.

Each variation can also be crafted into more unique weapons, each with their own characteristics.

To complete this, players need to craft a Mechanical Bow, Explosive, and Shockwave Bow.

These are the items you’ll need to craft each bow.

  • Mechanical Bow – Makeshift Bow + 4 Mechanical Parts
  • Explosive Bow – Mechanical Bow + 6 Grenades
  • Shockwave Bow – Mechanical Bow + 2 Shockwave Grenades

You need to craft the Mechanical Bow and can’t just find one as loot, but for the other 2 you can use a blue rarity Mechanical Bow either that you’ve crafted or found as loot, it has to be blue rarity though or you can’t craft the Shockwave or Explosive Bows.
