Learn how to get, use, and upgrade the Frostbite Warrior Bow in Horizon Forbidden West. Find stats, perks, and ammo types for this rare Tenakth weapon.

Favored by the Tenakth soldiers, this exceptional bow can quickly deliver Frost payloads. It can be upgraded to use Shock Arrows and deal more damage from Critical Hits.

You can purchase the Frostbite Warrior Bow from the Hunter at Scalding Spear for 632 Metal Shards and 1 Clawstrider Circulator. The Clawstrider Circulator is an uncommon drop from Clawstriders.

The Frostbite Warrior Bow is best used against larger machines susceptible to Frost or Acid Damage. Start with Acid Arrows to weaken armor, then switch to Frost Arrows to increase impact damage. Finally, use a weapon with good impact damage to finish them off.
