Animal Bones are used as a Crafting Resource. They are usually used to craft Primal weapons such as the Primal Rifle or Primal Bow. Crafting is a gameplay mechanic in Fortnite: Battle Royale, introduced in Chapter 2: Season 6. Crafting is used to change weapons into alternate versions of themselves within the player inventory.

If the player gathers Nuts ‘n’ Bolts, they can craft a new version of the weapon, as long as it has a respective rarity, although, crafting does not change the rarity of the weapon. Animal Bones can be obtained by eliminating various Animals in the game. They can also be obtained by breaking fossils, skulls, and primal structures found around the map with your harvesting tool. Animal Bones stack to an infinite number and do not take up a slot on the inventory.

Animal bones in small amounts can be found inside chests, and players will drop the Animal Bones they’ve collected during a single match once eliminated. Animal Bones can be found inside the wild animals including wolves, warthogs, chickens, and frogs. Each one drops a different amount of materials as well as some animal-specific drops. Animal Bones can also be found sometimes laying around on tables in buildings, like chicken wings etc.

Animal Parts are used to turning Makeshift Weapons into Primal Weapons. This includes turning a Makeshift Shotgun into a Primal Shotgun, a Makeshift Rifle into a Primal Rifle, and a Makeshift Bow into a Primal Bow. This increases the weapon’s damage output, while Mechanical Weapons increase the rate of fire and other stats. Primal Bows can also be altered using grenades or other equipment to turn them into special weapons.
