Best Upgrades for the Crossbow

Upgrade Upgrade Priority
Stability ★★★★
4x Scope ★★★☆
Reload Speed ★★☆☆

It is recommended that you prioritize on the Stability as your first upgrade for the Crossbow. Not only it will help you in mid to long-range fights, but it will also help you aim accurately at the head of the enemy, allowing you to pick up and reuse your arrows. After that, the 4x scope can help you really nail those long range shots.

Investing on the reload speed won't help you much, since you will be only using the crossbow in situations where you are trying to take out an enemy at a distance while remaining hidden. This means you will still have time to reload after firing the arrow.

How to Use the Crossbow

Crossbow - 1.jpg
Crossbows are extremely powerful and can one-shot most enemies if aimed at the head. Use the Crossbow in mid to long-range combat, especially if you are still hidden. Crossbows are silent and they won't attract enemy attention when fired. Use this to your advantage to pick off enemies at a distance without getting seen.

Also, landing your arrows at the head guarantees that the arrow won't break after being shot. This will allow you to conserve your ammo by picking them up after taking out an enemy.
