The crossbow is the most powerful ranged weapon available in MUME, trading speed for devastating damage output. It is used with the Missile weapons skill and requires bolts as ammunition.

Its accuracy is excellent, its speed slow, and it causes massive damage. It weighs ten pounds.
Despite its slow firing speed, the crossbow's massive damage potential and excellent accuracy make it the weapon of choice for players who want maximum damage per shot. Compatible ammunition includes bolts, blackened bolts, and metal-cased bolts. The light crossbow is a faster but less powerful alternative.
Its weight (ten pounds) is a significant consideration — carrying bolts in addition to the crossbow adds to your load.
