Crossbow (Fallout 76)

The crossbow is a ranged weapon

Characteristics
A sturdy crossbow with metal limbs and a wooden stock. While the crossbow deals high amounts of damage, it can only have one bolt loaded at a time, with the exception of the Nuclear Winter game mode, in which it could hold a maximum of three. As with all bows, the crossbow is equipped with a hidden silencer function in the game files, granting it Sneak functionality similar to that of a suppressor.

Bugs
NPCs will occasionally comment on crossbows calling it a sniper rifle, due to WeaponTypeSniper keyword.
 * "Sniper rifle, eh? I bet you can pick 'em off before they even know you're there."
 * "Only cowards hide behind a scope. Don't tell Surge I said that though."
