Regular attacks for ranged weapons in Divinity: Original Sin 2 do not consume ammo of any kind. Just as swinging a sword does not require a consumable, using a bow similarly does not require one, otherwise classes would become extremely weak. All you have to do is equip a ranged weapon that uses an arrow and use the attack action.

Choosing a difficulty mode at the start of a new game is the first decision players must make in Divinity: Original Sin 2.
However, one of the most powerful tools in the Ranger's toolkit is special arrows with unique effects that must be crafted, bought or found to use. The process of crafting a special arrow requires understanding the crafting menu, recipes, and materials combined into which items. Here's the breakdown.
How to craft special arrows in Divinity: Original Sin 2
Special arrows can be created by combining a Arbor and a suitable Arrowhead in the Crafting menu. Here's how to do it:
- Press the Crafting Menu hotkey.
- Drag and drop a shaft and an arrowhead into the open slots.
- Click Craft to get the special arrow in your inventory.
After you have created a special arrow once, its recipe will automatically be added to the Recipe menu. The next time you want to create it, it will be much easier to do it through that menu. Note, however, that there are often multiple recipes to craft a single item, and only the one you manually use or obtain the recipe for will be added to the Recipes menu.
