Overview

The Iron Crossbow is a craftable weapon in 7 Days to Die. It is unlocked after reading the Crossbow Schematic. The Crossbow is a medium to long-range weapon that fires crossbow bolts as Ammunition. It will reload automatically after each shot. As of A13 the Iron Crossbow has a quality level. It can be scrapped, yielding 75 Scrap Iron.

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

Combat

During combat, a Iron Crossbow is a powerful medium to long range weapon. At short range, however, the player may have trouble because it requires reloading for each shot and therefore has a slow rate of fire. A Iron Crossbow can kill most Zombies with one head shot. Due to its slow firing rate, a Iron Crossbow should be used with care at short range.

The recipe above contains the Resources needed to craft the Iron Crossbow for each level of the Advanced Engineering (Perk) Perk.
A higher level in the associated perk will decrease the crafting cost, saving resources.

Repair

The condition of a Iron Crossbow deteriorates with each use until eventually it will stop working and will need to be repaired. This can be done using a Forged Iron.

Notes

As of Alpha 15 release, stone-tipped crossbow bolts are removed, making it difficult to resupply ammunition in the field. It might be necessary to use Wooden Bow on casual encounters during long range foraging to save metal bolts for critical situations.
