**PROS:** - High Damage - Quiet - Low Ammo Cost

**TACTICS:** The higher-leveled brother of the standard crossbow, it deals more damage per shot but is otherwise quite similar in its properties, such as its single-shot nature and quietness. As such, the tactics that apply to the crossbow also apply to this weapon. **Recommended gear: ***- Glasses to improve its effective range, allowing survivors to pick off zombies from a longer distance. - Vests to increase the wearer's health, with some variants increasing reload speed as well.

**BACKGROUND:** Despite the superior range and stopping power of rifles, crossbows are nonetheless used by some, whether it's due to strict gun control laws, bow-specific hunting seasons, or simply a personal desire to live in a pre-gun era. In any case, their owners found them very useful in the apocalypse, whether in their original use, or taking down a very different prey. Sold in select hunting, sporting or camping goods stores.
