How to get Bolts in 99 Nights in the Forest

In 99 Nights in the Forest, Bolts are a fundamental crafting material required in most crafting recipes. This item cannot be farmed, making it somewhat challenging to come by in large quantities. It is most commonly obtained as a drop in abandoned locations, which are potentially perilous, as wild animals often tend to prowl in these uninhabited areas.

Let’s explore the different ways of getting Bolts in 99 Nights in the Forest.

The idea behind amassing a large number of Bolts is to explore as much of the map as possible. You usually come across the crafting material while exploring abandoned areas in 99 Nights in the Forest. However, such areas can be dangerous, as they tend to be hotspots for cultist members and dangerous wildlife. Consider bringing a weapon like the Revolver along on your journey into the wilds.

You can also recycle various items, like tires, microwaves, and sheet metal, to fashion Bolts out of them. These items can also be found scattered across the map and consume space in your inventory.

To recycle your spare materials, bring them to the Grinder next to the Crafting Table. Within seconds, you will receive a few Bolts in return. The amount of Bolts you receive depends on the amount and type of items you recycle.

While this is viable if you have an abundance of resources, it may not be the most practical strategy otherwise.
