can confirm

Explosive Arrow Bug (following patch 1.81) SOLO Mode

Problem: Explosive Arrows Bugged.
Reason this is Important: Harvesting Star Metal.

Did some testing in SOLO mode,
there seems to be some overlap with Official Servers on this issue.
Hopefully someone will get some benefit from what I have found.

(Again worth saying here that ammunition seems to work normally when equipped to thralls, the problem is a thrall can be persuaded to attack a goat with an explosive arrow, but no amount of prodding will get them to shoot at a meteorite).

The fastest way I found for testing, is to equip the ammunition to hotbar, if the stack in inventory does not decrease after firing the mechanic for that munition is broken.

Arrows that still function normally (if BUG is present) from Vanilla Game::
Abysmal, Acid, Firespark, Flinthead, Ice Shard, Ironhead, Oil, Smoke, Snake,

Arrows that are bugged::
Ancient Arrows, Explosive, Healing, Light, Poison, Razor, Steel.

Since this bug happens 100% of the time, if present at all, the work around I have found is:

WORK AROUND
use ORBS, they still function normally, even with this Bug present
I used a combination of 1 Gaseous Orb, and 1 Demon-fire Orb per meteorite, and was able to harvest all 3 meteorites I was able to locate while testing.

Addendum:: I also tried a variety of bows and found no difference in my results, also I tried both legitimately fashioning and Admin creating ammunitions also found no difference in performance of the ammunitions.

That’s right, it happens with the poison arrow too.

hi @Nandim89 there is a work around for that check the link :

Blunted arrows not effective PC Bug Reports

Hello, since the new update 3.0 the blunted arrows are not working. When shooting them nothing happens, no reaction from the NPCs and they’re not diminushing for inventory just like shooting without arrows… I tried the truncheon and it works normaly.

it doesn’t solve the problem but you will be able to use your bow…I realised something since then for the blunted arrows anyway the first time I selected the blunted arrows with the bow I use for them the icon of the bow has blunted arrows with it and since I saw that I just select the bow and use it straight away (no need to select arrows for it) as long as you have blunted arrows in your main inventory.

Following Patch 3.0.2
Arrows, specifically Explosive Arrows continue to act incorrectly.
Explosive arrows do not function.

Conan Exiles, single player mode, PS4.

I had this occur on Official #1738. I had to unequip my bow and re-equip it to get it to fire correctly.

@Technicolorfool
Yeah that doesn’t work in my instance, but it might for someone.
The behaviour I flushed out earlier in this thread started with sorcery 3.0.

That’s 2 patches ago now, 30 days, and through my testing over 3 accounts that would have solved itself.

But thanks for the try suggestion @Technicolorfool.

Played the new Patch Conan 3.0.3 (22.10.19) PS4 Console

Although the Patch notes did not mention the Fix,
I found my version of Conan Exiles, previously affected by this glitch in solo play has now resolved this issue.
