The Crossbow is a ranged weapon that utilizes crossbow bolts as ammunition, it was added to The Forest in v1.10.

Gameplay

The crossbow is non-craftable, accurate, ranged and high damage weapon; 2 hits to body or one for headshots to kill cannibals.

Uses non-craftable bolts as ammunition. Some bolts can be found in the cave along with the crossbow. Also can be found stuck in the side of a broken ship on the island near the cave, at the top of a cannibal tower in a small village next to a pond. Bolts are capped of 10.

Bolts are gravity affected. It is easier to aim the closer you are to the target. Distant targets require you to aim a bit higher to be able to hit them.

There is a 1 in 3 chance for bolts to disappear after being shot, so you may not be able to retrieve them back. As with the Crafted Bow and the Modern Bow.

Location

It can be found in the Shipwreck Cave, under the Ship Drawing and next to the first schematic.
