 '''Crossbows''' are powerful ranged weapons, capable of launching [[bolt]]s for high damage and with excellent accuracy. However, the complexity of their design gives them a significantly lower rate of fire than [[bow]]s, but sufficient skill, [[strength]], and [[dexterity]] will nearly make up for this. Be aware that crossbows and bolts are fairly uncommon early on, making ammo conservation a legitimate issue. They become common in [[the Vaults]] and the later portions of [[the Dungeon]] once [[yaktaur]]s start appearing. Note that using [[shield]]s will considerably slow your attack speed.
-Crossbow users benefit more from a high strength score than bow-users, but benefit less from high skill levels. Because of this, while crossbows are more powerful than longbows in the early game, they become less effective in the late. However, crossbow-users have access to bolts of [[penetration]], which are significantly more powerful than the bow-user's unique [[arrow]] of [[dispersal]].
