Crossbow
Overview[edit | edit source]
The Crossbow in Sons of the Forest is a powerful ranged weapon that delivers high damage at a slow firing rate. It’s a silent and deadly tool for eliminating enemies from a distance. The Crossbow is located in the Food and Dining Bunker in the northwest of the island. To access the Crossbow, you’ll need the Maintenance Keycard to unlock the doors inside the bunker.
Usage[edit | edit source]
The Crossbow excels in precision shots, making it ideal for headshots against tougher enemies. Its crossbow bolts are strong but relatively scarce, so it’s essential to conserve them by retrieving bolts after each shot. The slow reload time means it’s best used from a distance or in stealth situations to avoid getting overwhelmed by multiple enemies.
Tips & Tricks[edit | edit source]
- Always collect your bolts after firing to maintain your supply, as they cannot be crafted.
- Aim for headshots to maximize damage and take down enemies with fewer bolts.
- Attach the Flashlight Attachment or Laser Sight to improve accuracy in dark areas or long-range shots.
Worth it?[edit | edit source]
Yes! The Crossbow is a powerful ranged weapon that’s perfect for silent takedowns and long-range combat. Though it has a slower reload time, its high damage output and ability to recover bolts make it a valuable addition to your arsenal.
