[[File:Arrows in Inventory.png|256px|thumb|A list of various Arrows in the Inventory window.]]
'''[[Ammunition]]''' items are [[Consumables]] that are fired from ranged weapons, typically to deal damage and create [[Surface]]s.


'''Arrows''' are [[Consumables]] that are fired from ranged weapons to deal extra damage, create [[Surface]]s, inflict [[Conditions]] or produce other effects.
== List of Ammunition ==


Arrows can be looted, bought from vendors, but cannot be crafted.
=== Common ===
* {{Icon|Throwable AcidBottle A Icon.png}} [[Acid Vial]]
* {{Icon|Arrow of Acid Icon.png}} [[Arrow of Acid]]
* {{Icon|Arrow of Fire Icon.png}} [[Arrow of Fire]]
* {{Icon|Arrow of Ice Icon.png}} [[Arrow of Ice]]

== How arrows work ==
=== {{Uncommon}} ===
 
* {{Icon|Arrow of Darkness Icon.png}} [[Arrow of Darkness]]
Arrows in Baldur's Gate 3 follow different rules from the 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons ruleset. Here are some key points of how arrows work in BG3:
* {{Icon|Arrow of Ilmater Icon.png}} [[Arrow of Ilmater]]
 
* {{Icon|Arrow of Roaring Thunder Icon.png}} [[Arrow of Roaring Thunder]]
*While there are regular arrows in the game, they are unusable misc items. Every ranged [[Weapons|Weapon]] fires without the need to have any ammunition in the characters inventory. Instead, the only usable arrows available in game are special [[Consumables]] with many different effects such as offering elemental damage or creating various surfaces. The arrows used by Bows and Crossbows are the same.
*Unlike in 5th edition, various Arrows of Slaying in the game incur no saving throws nor do they have a damage roll. Instead the Arrows of Slaying in [[Baldur's Gate 3]] double the base damage of the weapon used to make the attack, making various passives that increase base damage of the weapon, such as the Feat [[Sharpshooter]] or items like the {{RarityItem|Flawed Helldusk Gloves}} very useful in increasing the raw damage output of the shooter.
*{{RarityItem|Arrow of Ilmater}} is one of the earliest and cheapest available tools in the game to prevent healing.
 
== Regular arrows ==
 
Arrows that can be commonly found across the world and/or bought from traders.
