Fire Arrow

The Fire Arrow in Rust is a specialized ammunition type for bows, designed to deal damage and control movement in combat. Notably, it is a low-velocity, high-damage arrow that creates a fiery area of effect upon hitting its target. This fiery blast not only harms enemies but also slows down anyone caught within its vicinity. This unique feature makes it effective for impeding opponents, whether by preventing their advance or hindering their escape.

In addition to its use in player-versus-player encounters, the Fire Arrow serves as a useful tool for quiet and efficient raids. It has advantages over the eoka as it is both faster and produces less noise. However, it's important to note that while the Fire Arrow can inflict direct damage on opponents, the flames it produces will not harm structures. Therefore, it cannot be used for burning down enemy bases or wooden constructs.

When strategizing with Fire Arrows, consider carrying them alongside regular arrows to switch tactics as needed. Their area denial capability can be crucial in fights around chokepoints or when flushing enemies out of cover. Remember to maintain a safe distance, as the fire can also harm you if you're too close to the impact area.
