The Crossbow is a scoped weapon used in Sven Co-op.
Function
Made by Black Mesa research personnel, this weapon is used to poison enemies for a short time, if not aimed towards them, the bolt explodes in contact with hard surfaces and wounds anyone near the blast, although light. This is one of 3 weapons that can fire underwater (the 9mm Pistol, and the Rocket Launcher being the other 2), and one of 2 weapons to take down the Ichthyosaur (the other being the pistol).
It's drawbacks are that it is slow when bolts are launched, not like the M40 that takes a direct hit, and slower than the M40 sniper rifle, on loading another round. It's sights are not like the M40, which is like a sniper's scope, but rather of a simple, side dotted crosshair when zoomed.
Strategy
Pros
- Best used to take down Ichthyosaurs
- Poison tipped bolts used to injure enemies to weaken them
- Explosive bolts to wound enemies not aimed at anyone
- Can shoot underwater
- Can replace the rifle due to ammunition amount (50 for the bow, 15 for the M40)
- Useful in stealth kills
Cons
- Slower than the Sniper rifle in all aspects (action, firing and hit)
- Slow when fired
- Hits are not direct
- Flies towards the target, and must be still for kill or injury
Tactics
- Use this to take down enemies silently from afar, especially strong ones
- It is advised to use this to take down Ichthyosaurs underwater
- Do not aim towards moving enemies, it is not a sniper rifle
Counter-Tactics
- Use sniper rifles to instantly kill threats
- Switch to any weapon other than it.
Notes
- The detonating darts feature can be disabled in a server's configuration files.
