    Does anybody know if the arrow breaks after a specific number of uses? I just shot a guy, but I don't seem to be able to pull it out of him. If they're not supposed to disappear I think I'll retry to last checkpoint.

    Haven't been able to play the full game myself yet, but a quick google search says you're suppose to be able to pull them off bodies.

    Yeah I know, but I didn't find anywhere that said how many times. Like, say "infinite". But thanks, guess I'll reload. It didn't help that his gun had zero bullets in it either.

    Did reloading help at all? I wonder if they have a random chance to break or something glitched out

    I completed the game and the arrows do not break but take care of them, arrows are extremely rare.

    Also a heads up one time I killed a guy with an arrow and a cutscene was triggered when it ended my arrow was gone so I had to restart could not afford to loose it to a bug.

    It helped. So like  @Nefhril: said they don't break. I also found out that if you pick up a weapon that does not have bullets in it, it doesn't mean that the enemy that had it can't shoot. After I reloaded I went back to the same guy thinking he couldn't shoot, but BLAM, I had to use one more retry hehe. I noticed that if I had 3 or more bullets many enemies did not drop ammo. Probably to make it scarce.

    I never found any more arrows than the one I got with the bow. And I think that, throughout all the game I've ever played, I've never killed that much people with a single arrow than in I Am Alive.

    @Klei: Hehe that's true. But I found one more in the last episode, right after I gave the pistol away.

    Was Brad playing this wrong?. I'm playing on the harder difficulty, my inventory is always full of supplies, i have 3 bullets in my pistol, my shot-gun has round-about 4 bullets left and i have 3 arrows, for me this hasn't been a survival game, just a more atmospheric Prince of Persia!.
