Revision - ranged crossbows - Crimson Desert Wiki

Crossbows are a ranged weapon category in Crimson Desert used exclusively by Kliff. They fire bolts and trade rate of fire for higher per-shot damage compared to regular Bows. Each crossbow has 5 Abyss Core sockets, making them a strong platform for an Abyss Gear build.

Crossbows vs Bows

Bows are the primary ranged weapon for Kliff and have a deeper roster.
Crossbows fire slower but land harder hits per bolt, which pairs well with Abyss Cores that scale off raw shot power.
