Locations[]
- Two Bowie knives can be found in a trailer in the northeastern end of Flatwoods: One sitting on the Last will and testament of Jeremiah Ward note on top of a table and another on top of the oven, next to a cutting board.
- One can be found in a glass display case on the fourth floor of the Shadowbreeze Apartments.
- One can be found in the upstairs area of Camp McClintock on a cart, next to a sack.
Notes[]
- As of patch 1.7.2.18, the serrated and stealth blades are available for crafting on the Bowie knife. These mods do not affect the appearance of the weapon. Since the Bowie knife uses the exact same mods as the combat knives, unlocking the mods for crafting requires scrapping combat knives, not Bowie knives. Likewise, a loose serrated or stealth blade mod box for the combat knife will also work on a Bowie knife.
Bugs[]
Bowie knives were previously able to drop with the serrated blade and stealth blade mods pre-attached but it was impossible to craft these mods. These have since been removed from the drop lists.[patched]
