This weapon falls into the 'Ranged Weapons' category. It is a two-handed weapon
The triple crossbow is a phenomenally powerful ranged weapon; at 23 base damage, it has the highest base damage of any weapon in the game. However, it's also one of the slowest weapons in the game: with a base delay of 2.3, it takes a whopping 26 skill in Ranged Weapons to reduce its attack speed to its mindelay of 1.0.
Until you get close to that point, you'll likely get much better performance out of a longbow or a well enchanted arbalest. Once you reach those near-max skill levels, however, there is little reason not to upgrade.

History
- In 0.29, stats of the triple crossbow were changed (damage from 22 to 23, accuracy from 0 to -2), and they were affected by the ranged weapons rework that applied to all launchers, including the removal of the dedicated crossbows skill and physical bolts necessary to fire. Spriggans also lost the ability to wield them.
- Triple crossbows (as well as hand crossbows and arbalests) were added in 0.15, replacing vanilla crossbows.
