When players find a bow in Dying Light 2 Stay Human, the flow of battle changes immensely. Dying Light 2 is a game that emphasizes melee combat, but the bow is included in a small pool of available ranged weapons. Using a bow in combination with other items increasing ranged effectiveness creates a massively powerful Ranger class. Dying Light 2 players can find their first bow after completing the quest "Let's Waltz" about six to ten hours into the main story mode.

When players start Dying Light 2 Stay Human, melee weapons are just about the only choice for combat. Ranged weapons can be found throughout the game, but they are not nearly as common as melee weapons. With the right skills in Dying Light 2, ranged weapons are a unique method of demolishing infected mobs. This means players should always consider looting a ranged weapon when encountered in the world. Any ranged weapon, such as a gun, is coveted in Dying Light 2, but its unique features make the bow especially useful.

Players cannot access bows in the main story of Dying Light 2 Stay Human until completing the mission "Let's Waltz." Throughout the first six to ten hours of the game, players will have to complete missions mainly by using melee weapons. Players who want to create a Ranger class don't have many options in the game's opening hours, but the bow opens a new world of ranged possibilities. Before acquiring a bow, make sure to gather clothes and other gear in Dying Light 2 that increase ranged abilities to maximize effectiveness.

"Let's Waltz" is a main story mission located in the Quarry's End region of the map. Players must first complete the mission "Revolution" or "Into the Dark" to begin "Let's Waltz." Depending on the player's choice in the preceding mission, the quest will be given by either Sophie or Aitor. "Let's Waltz" requires players to traverse a tunnel, turn on generators, discover a new type of infection, and pursue a Waltz man. This lengthy quest takes anywhere from 45 minutes to over 60 minutes to complete.

Once players complete all the quest objectives for "Let's Waltz," they will receive a stack of rewards. These rewards include the Pipe Bow, blueprints for Normal Arrows, and feathers. Other types of arrows include Electric Arrows, Fire Arrows, Poisonous Arrows, Explosive Arrows, Bleeding Arrows, and Infected Arrows. When being chased, particularly during the nighttime in Dying Light 2, arrows like explosives, fire, and electric can keep the infected at bay long enough to arrive at a safe house. The blueprints for these types of arrows and the arrows themselves can be purchased from vendors around the map in Dying Light 2 Stay Human.
