Modular Crossbows

Modular Crossbows

Heavy, mechanical alternatives to the standard bow. Modular Crossbows offer immense power and the ability to hold a shot indefinitely, at the cost of slower reload times.

Assembly

Modular Crossbows are assembled at the Crossbow Bench (the old Smithing Table recipe has been removed).

Required Components

Place these in the Crossbow Bench:

• Modular Bow (in the bow/input slot)
• Mechanical Trigger (in the trigger slot)

Adding the trigger turns the bow into a crossbow; removing it again reverts it to the bow. The crossbow always carries its own parts, so you never lose components.

Attachments

The Crossbow Bench has a dedicated attachment slot. Fitted attachments change how the crossbow behaves — see The Crossbow Bench for the full list. Built-in options:

• Scope (Spyglass) — an optic that lets you zoom/aim down sights. Toggle the scope in-game with V (default).
• Magazine — a mechanism that loads multiple bolts and fires them one per click, at the cost of a longer reload.

Mechanics

• Ammunition: Compatible with standard arrows, fireworks, and Modular Arrows.
• Hold the shot: Like a vanilla crossbow, a loaded modular crossbow holds its charge until you fire.
• Archery skills apply: Crossbow shots benefit from your Archery Skills (crit chance, accuracy, etc.).
