Overview
A very accurate ranged weapon with a rotating barrel.
A roamer you already tagged ducks behind a tree to heal, then breaks for the treeline. Your first arrow whiffs. With the regular crossbow you would be reloading now, but here the rotating barrel already has the next shot ready. That is the whole reason to build it.
| Weapon | Shots before a reload | Extra cost | Pick it when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crossbow | one | none | the first hit must count |
| Bowless Crossbow | one, as far as we know | none | you like the look |
| Mini Crossbow | several | a gear, double the fragments, pricier research | targets keep moving |
The gear is the annoying part early on. Gears are a Level 3 craft, so you loot or recycle them instead. All three crossbows sit at a Level 1 workbench, so the bench is never the problem.
Craft extra wooden arrows before you head out. Follow-up shots are the point, and you will fire more of them.
