With Chapter 2 Season 6, Epic Games introduced weapon-crafting and weapon-upgrading mechanics in Fortnite.

Mechanical Explosive Bows use a targeting system to fire projectiles. When an arrow lands, it creates three explosives that deal 20 damage upon contact. In contrast, the arrow from a Mechanical Shockwave Bow launches the enemy upwards after a short time.
Primal bows can turn into Flame or Stink bows
Instead of Mechanical Parts, you must use Animal Bones to upgrade a Makeshift weapon to a Primal One. These items become easily available by hunting boars, wolves, and chickens.
Primal Bows can further change into Primal Flame bows and Primal Stink bows. Flame Bow is the output of combining a Primal Bow with either a gas can or a firefly jar. On the flip side, you can craft a Stink Bow by combining a Primal Specimen with either a Stink Bag from frogs, or a Stink Flopper.
