Overview[ | ]

The Iron Crossbow is a craftable weapon in 7 Days to Die. It is unlocked after attaining level 1 Archery or reading the Crossbow Schematic.

The Iron Crossbow is a medium to long-range weapon that fires crossbow bolts as Ammunition. It will reload automatically after each shot and, unlike the bows, it can be modded with Scope or Weapon Flashlight.

To equip a different type of ammo than the default Stone Crossbow Bolt, press and hold R, then select the ammo type you want.

Sneaking attack increases 100% extra damage in A21.

Combat[ | ]

During combat, Crossbows are a powerful medium to long range weapons, that can kill most Zombies with one headshot.

Due to its slow firing rate and required reloading for each shot a Crossbow should be used with care at short range against more than one enemy or wild animal.
