The crossbow is a ranged weapon in Fallout 76.

Characteristics[]

A sturdy crossbow with metal limbs and a wooden stock. While the crossbow deals high amounts of damage, it can only have one bolt loaded at a time, with the exception of the Nuclear Winter game mode, in which it can hold a maximum of three. As with all bows, the crossbow is equipped with a hidden silencer function in the game files, granting it Sneak functionality similar to that of a suppressor.

Notes[]

  • The Nuclear Winter (mode) Nuclear Winter variant of the crossbow is still considered a rifle, while the Adventure variant was changed to a bow with the release of Wastelanders.

Bugs[]

PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One NPCs will occasionally comment on crossbows calling it a sniper rifle, due to WeaponTypeSniper keyword.[verified]

  • "Sniper rifle, eh? I bet you can pick 'em off before they even know you're there."
  • "Only cowards hide behind a scope. Don't tell Surge I said that though."
