“ | A modern variant of the ancient Chinese weapon. Fires silently, but has to be cocked before each shot. ―In-game Description | ” |
The Crossbow is a ranged weapon in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.
Unlike virtually every other ranged weapon in the game, a vampire's damage reduction does not apply to the damage caused by a crossbow's bolts, making it an effective, if slow-to-load, single-shot weapon. Some temple guards will ignite their bolts for extra damage against the player character as well.
Acquisition[]
- Available as a drop from Hunters, temple guards in Ming Xiao's Golden Temple in Chinatown and from The Cathayan in Santa Monica (Plus Patch).
Trivia[]
- This weapon was renamed "Pyro Crossbow" in the Plus Patch and will always fire burning bolts as the original flaming crossbow was turned into the "Dragon's Breath" shotgun.
