Back in the old days, and at the beginning of the franchise, God of War featured a completely different game style than what we saw on God of War (2018) and now Ragnarök. One of the abilities that Kratos possessed was the ability to shoot arrows from a distance. This granted a much-needed range attack that took care of flying enemies and enemies far from reach. However, after all this fighting years, the role of arrow bearer has fallen into his son, Atreus. And while ranged attacks have not been totally abandoned on Kratos’ arsenal (he throws his axe very aggressively), Atreus takes care of the ranged domain. In the previous game, a new mechanic involved Atreus being able to change the arrow types he shot, in order to adapt himself to every enemy and situation. With that precedent, here is how to change arrows in God of War Ragnarök.
