Path of Exile 2 - Crossbows
"wiki" Page

Crossbows are a new Ranged weapon in Path of Exile 2. They are powerful equipment that combines high-damage potential with strategic gameplay. These weapons cater to classes like the Mercenary and Ranger, who excel at combining precise ranged attacks with tactical decision-making. Crossbows are unique in their reliance on specialized Bolt types that expand their utility and effectiveness in combat. You can also fire crossbow-exclusive projectiles - Grenades. These projectiles explode after a duration, dealing high area damage and applying various debuffs offering completely new and unusual playstyle.

Crossbows come in various forms, each with distinct traits. For example, one Crossbow might enhance physical damage, while another increases critical strike chance when firing certain Bolts. The Bolts themselves, such as Explosive or Frost Bolts, offer an added layer of customization, allowing players to adapt to different enemies and situations.

Players appreciate Crossbows for their raw power and strategic depth, as they encourage careful planning and resource management. Though slower than Bows, Crossbows excel in high-damage bursts and crowd control, making them a favorite for players who enjoy a more calculated approach to ranged combat in Path of Exile 2.
