Modern Bow Location

The Modern Bow is located inside the Chasm Cave.
Getting inside isn’t easy, and to clarify it further, you need a rebreather alongside a climbing hatchet to begin your experience. Further, weapons are essential since you will run over certain mutants and savages, preventing you from arriving at the Modern Bow.
Once inside the cavern, head down, murder the savages with the Ax, and you will see a wooden square that would have a Christianity sign painted. Separate the blockade, and keep on pushing ahead. Presently you will see an immense pit hole that would have a few water streams and edges to head down beneath. Utilize these edges, and reach the bottom. You will require the climbing Ax at a certain point; however, In case you didn’t bring one. Switch to Godmode, and you will be able to fly without taking any damage.
After you arrive at the base, you will run over one way, so keep heading towards the North. In transit, there will be a few savages, and more Barricades, which would then end with an immense open space, that would have a few stalagmites. I ran away from these through the rebreather because they could be really tough to kill. Likewise, look on the right, and there will be a small blue hole. Swim inside this and head down below.
As the swimming journey ends, you will come across a small island.
This will have a few cargo boxes, looking like that of Cast Away, and close to one of these. You will locate the Modern Bow, which could be snatched through Button E.
