Bows to Guns Fortnite Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to do anything to activate the resource pack after installing it?
No, once installed correctly, the resource pack automatically applies to your world. You should see the Fortnite-themed weapons and items immediately when you load in or restart your game.
Why does my bow still look like a bow instead of a submachine gun?
Make sure the resource pack is enabled in your resource pack list and positioned above any conflicting packs. If it's enabled and still not working, try restarting Minecraft completely.
How do I aim down the sights with the submachine gun?
Hold right-click (or your configured draw/aim button) just like you would with a normal bow—the custom aiming animation will play automatically as you prepare to fire.
What's the difference between the sniper rifle and the submachine gun?
The sniper rifle (crossbow) has a functional scope zoom when you aim, slower fire rate, and a bolting animation between shots, while the submachine gun (bow) fires faster with iron-sight animations and no zoom.
Can I turn off just the sniper rifle skin but keep the submachine gun?
Yes, if you have Respackopts installed, you can toggle individual weapon skins on or off without affecting the others.
Do the bullets do different damage than regular arrows?
No, the bullets are purely visual reskins of arrows—they deal the same damage and have identical mechanics to vanilla arrows.
How do I use the med kits to heal?
Med kits replace golden apples, so eat them the same way you would eat a golden apple—they provide the same healing and effects.
Will this resource pack work with other Fortnite or weapon mods?
This is a resource pack only, so it works with most mods, but it may conflict visually with other packs that reskin the same items—load this pack higher in your list to prioritize it.
Do the custom animations work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, resource packs are client-side, so the animations and reskins will display for you on any server, though other players won't see them unless they install the pack too.
Why is the scope view not working on the sniper rifle?
Make sure you're using the crossbow (not the bow) and that you're holding right-click to aim; the scope zoom should activate automatically when aiming down sights.
