11Overview22Rampaging Infinite Arrows is an Abyss Gear in Crimson Desert that provides a percentage chance to not consume arrows when firing a bow. The gear is initially earned as a reward from the Sealed Abyss Artifact system by completing the Bow Aimed at Fate V challenge. However, the real power of Infinite Arrow cores comes from stacking them to reach 100% total, which means every arrow fired is free. This mechanic forms the foundation of the popular Infinite Archer build, one of the strongest ranged setups in the game.44At lower percentages, such as 80%, players will still run out of arrows during sustained fire. Reaching the full 100% threshold is essential for builds that rely on continuous arrow spam, because even a small gap in coverage leads to ammunition depletion during boss fights or prolonged encounters.66How to Obtain88There are two ways to obtain Rampaging Infinite Arrows cores. The first is through the Sealed Abyss Artifact challenge system, and the second is through Special Synthesis at a Witch.1010Sealed Abyss Artifact Challenge1212The initial Rampaging Infinite Arrows core is unlocked after completing the Bow Aimed at Fate V challenge. This requires taking down 5 enemies at once from over 20 meters away using a bow. The Sealed Abyss Artifact for this challenge is located south of Beighen, in the Demeniss region, sitting on a small shrine.1414PropertyDetailAssociated ChallengeBow Aimed at Fate VRequirementTake down 5 enemies at once from over 20 meters away with a bowArtifact LocationSouth of Beighen, in Demeniss, on a small shrineRegionDemeniss1616Challenge Completion Tips1717Use Multishot to hit multiple targets at once from range.Find a large group of enemies clustered together, then position yourself at least 20 meters away before firing.Elevated positions give better line of sight for hitting all 5 targets in a single volley.The Sustained Supply Arrow helps ensure you do not run out of ammo while attempting this challenge.1919Special Synthesis at a Witch2121The more reliable (but time-consuming) method for obtaining additional Infinite Arrow cores is through Special Synthesis. Visit any Witch and navigate to Craft Abyss Gear, then select the third tab for Special Synthesis. This process combines two Abyss Gear pieces to produce a random core from the entire pool of possible outcomes.2323Because Special Synthesis generates a random result, the chance of getting an Infinite Arrow core on any given attempt is relatively low. The pool includes many different Abyss Gear types, so players often need multiple attempts before landing the specific core they want.2525Infinite Arrow Core Tiers2727Infinite Arrow cores come in three tiers, each providing an increasing chance to not consume arrows when firing. Two cores can be equipped simultaneously across your gear to stack their percentages.2929TierChance to Not Consume ArrowsNotesTier 120%Lowest tier; obtained from challenges or Special SynthesisTier 240%Created by fusing two Tier 1 cores via regular SynthesisTier 360%Created by fusing two Tier 2 cores via regular Synthesis; highest single-core value3131To reach 100%, players need to equip two cores whose percentages add up to at least 100. Common combinations include:3232CombinationTotal ChanceResultTier 3 (60%) + Tier 2 (40%)100%True infinite arrows (minimum investment)Tier 3 (60%) + Tier 3 (60%)120%True infinite arrows (overkill but guaranteed)Tier 3 (60%) + Tier 1 (20%)80%Not enough; will run out during sustained fireTier 2 (40%) + Tier 2 (40%)80%Not enough; will run out during sustained fire3434Important: At 80% total, you will still deplete your arrows at the fire rate demanded by most archer builds. The difference between 80% and 100% is night and day during boss fights. Always aim for the full 100% before relying on this mechanic in serious encounters.3535Upgrading Through Synthesis3737Regular Synthesis (not Special Synthesis) allows you to combine two identical-tier Infinite Arrow cores into a single core of the next tier. This is done at any Witch under the Craft Abyss Gear menu. For example, combining two Tier 1 Infinite Arrow cores produces one Tier 2 core, and combining two Tier 2 cores produces one Tier 3 core.3939The practical path to 100% involves gathering multiple lower-tier cores through Special Synthesis, then fusing them upward through regular Synthesis until you have the right combination. A typical progression looks like this:4141Use Special Synthesis repeatedly to obtain Tier 1 Infinite Arrow cores.Fuse pairs of Tier 1 cores into Tier 2 cores using regular Synthesis.Continue fusing Tier 2 cores to create Tier 3 cores.Equip one Tier 3 (60%) and one Tier 2 (40%) for the minimum 100% total, or two Tier 3 cores for comfortable overcap.4343Save Scumming Strategy4545Because Special Synthesis produces a random result from a large pool, many players use save scumming to speed up the process. The strategy is straightforward: create a manual save before performing Special Synthesis, check the result, and reload the save if you did not get an Infinite Arrow core. This eliminates the cost of failed attempts, since you get your materials back on reload.4747Expect the full process of reaching 100% to take roughly 1 to 3 hours of save scumming, depending on luck. Players who are comfortable with this approach save a significant amount of resources compared to burning through Abyss Gear on pure random rolls.4949Step 1: Gather surplus Abyss Gear pieces you are willing to sacrifice for Special Synthesis.Step 2: Create a manual save at the Witch.Step 3: Perform Special Synthesis. If the result is an Infinite Arrow core, keep it and save again.Step 4: If the result is something else, reload your save and try again.Step 5: Once you have enough Tier 1 cores, fuse them upward through regular Synthesis to reach Tier 2 and Tier 3.5151Role in the Infinite Archer Build5353Rampaging Infinite Arrows at 100% is the cornerstone of the Infinite Archer build, widely considered one of the most powerful setups in Crimson Desert. With ammunition no longer a constraint, players can spam their strongest arrow types nonstop without ever needing to resupply or swap to weaker alternatives.5555The build pairs especially well with the Golden Knotted Ancestral Bow or other high-tier bows, and benefits enormously from using explosive arrows. Because you only need a single explosive arrow in your inventory (the 100% core ensures it never gets consumed), the build turns every shot into an AoE explosion with heavy stun buildup.5757Explosive Arrows vs. Poison Arrows5959When running the Infinite Archer build, explosive arrows are significantly stronger than poison arrows against bosses. Explosive arrows deal area-of-effect damage and build stun much faster, which creates openings for additional damage. Poison arrows apply damage over time but lack the burst potential and crowd control that explosive arrows provide.6161With 100% Infinite Arrows active, you only need one explosive arrow in your inventory. Since the core prevents that arrow from being consumed, you effectively have an unlimited supply of explosions on every shot.6363Where to Buy Explosive Arrows6565Explosive arrows can be purchased from the black market vendor in Deep Fog Basin, in the town of Pailune. Stock up on at least one before heading into boss fights, though with the Infinite Arrows core at 100%, a single arrow is technically all you ever need.6767Recommended Pairings6969To get the most out of Rampaging Infinite Arrows, consider combining it with these complementary Abyss Cores and equipment:7171Attack Power cores: Raw damage increase on every shot multiplies well with infinite ammunition.Skill Cooldown Reduction: Lets you cycle through Multishot and other bow abilities more frequently.High-tier bows: The Golden Knotted Ancestral Bow offers strong base damage that benefits from never having downtime on attacks.Stamina management gear: Sustained bow fire drains stamina. Cores or equipment that reduce stamina consumption keep you shooting longer.7373Summary7575Rampaging Infinite Arrows transforms bow gameplay in Crimson Desert from a resource-constrained playstyle into a relentless damage machine. The key steps are: complete the Bow Aimed at Fate V challenge for your first core, use Special Synthesis (with save scumming if desired) to farm additional cores, upgrade them through regular Synthesis, and equip enough combined percentage to hit the 100% threshold. Once there, pair the build with explosive arrows and a strong bow to unlock the full potential of the Infinite Archer playstyle.7777Hedgehog Farming Application7979The Rampaging Infinite Arrows core is the defining bow setup for Golden Apple hedgehog farms. The farm involves flushing dozens of small rodents out of bush clusters and knocking apples off their backs in a few seconds before they scatter. A normal bow runs out of arrows fast, and a normal core forces you to aim precisely at tiny moving targets. Infinite arrows eliminate both problems at once.8181Why This Build Wins Against Hedgehogs8383No ammo pressure: You can fire a full volley at every walkthrough of the bush patch without worrying about depletion. Hedgehogs respawn quickly at the best spots, so volume is the point.Near-miss tolerance: Paired with Poison Arrow ammo, a shot landing near a hedgehog is enough to drop the apple. Direct hits become optional rather than required.Fits a single bow: The build runs on one bow and the two required gear pieces rather than forcing a swap. You can keep your melee and spell slots for everything else you would normally carry.8585Best Spots to Apply the Build8787North of Pailune: Past the Spire of Solitude and Tshira Tree. Highest hedgehog density in the game.Trentin: Middle field near the Serendian Watchtower.Grey Rock Dock pumpkin patch: Smaller but still viable.8989Support Gear Checklist9191The bow setup alone is not enough. Also equip a Mask (from a Back Alley Shop) to avoid contribution penalties on apple pickup and a Radiant Necklace to keep the weather clear, since hedgehogs stop spawning in the rain. With all three in place, a session on the Pailune bush patch can produce enough Golden Apples for a stack of Gold Bars in a single clear-weather window.
