Miner’s Crossbow

Among the top-tier crossbows, the Miner’s Crossbow boasts a decent amount of power while requiring less Strength and Agility than most other ranged weapons. Despite having less power, it stands out due to its vibrant and ornate design, making it the most stylish crossbow among them.

To obtain the Miner’s Crossbow, you need to complete the Popinjay Shoot quest situated in Kuttenberg. This task involves competing against a group of miners in an archery competition. To increase your chances of success, it’s wise to save the game beforehand and utilize a rapid-fire crossbow since this challenge might be tough during your initial attempts.

7.

Elm Longbow

Among the premium bows available, the Elm Longbow stands out as one that doesn’t demand an extremely high investment in both Strength and Agility. It offers a good balance of power and range. This is likely the bow you’ll use for an extended period before you can afford to upgrade to superior bows in Kuttenberg.

You can obtain this bow at least in the Trosky region, either from roadside vendors or the Carpenter in Troskowitz. However, these vendors might not always carry it due to their inventory varying based on your level. But, you can always find it with Master Wenceslas located in the southeast of Kuttenberg.

6.

Master’s Handgonne

635 1 1 11

As a gamer, I can’t help but be drawn to the striking beauty of the Master’s Handgonne – it’s not just shiny, it’s lethal. Compared to the Master’s Hook Gun, it packs slightly less punch, but that comes at a lighter weight. It’s all about choosing between dealing more damage or carrying less load in this game.

Alternatively, due to its extremely slow rate of loading and firing, this weapon may be the initial shot fired before a fight breaks out or it might only be used from high vantage points such as battlements. You can obtain one of these guns either from Master Prokop Eldris in Kuttenberg or inside an old shack located north of the horse trader, south of Old Lhota.

5.

Decorated Field Crossbow

If you’re fond of using ranged weapons and enjoy models that can be easily reloaded with a crank, the Distinguished Field Crossbow might become your go-to choice. However, it’s important to note that its power lags noticeably behind that of a heavy crossbow.

This crossbow makes for an excellent stealth weapon, capable of eliminating many groups of foes with suitable modifiers and poisoned arrows. You can acquire this crossbow from Master Wenceslas in Kuttenberg, as a reward at the end of the Kuttenberg Tournament when you complete the quest, or from high-level enemies who carry crossbows.

4.

Ranyek’s Bow

Power Strength Agility Weight
200 14 14 4

Ranyek’s Bow, though not quite as potent as the strongest bows, demands significantly less skill to handle. It outperforms many other ranged weapons due to its high efficiency. Unlike the Elm Longbow, it requires only 14 units of strength to yield compared to the 18 needed for the latter.

As a dedicated fan, I’ve discovered that there’s only one way to claim the mighty Ranyek’s Bow – and that’s by completing The Devil’s Pack quest given by the Dry Devil in Kuttenberg. When you manage to unearth Ranyek’s body from a repugnant pile of human waste, you can seize the bow from his remains. However, there are two options for acquiring this coveted weapon: either negotiate a deal with the dice players and buy it from them or engage in combat to wrestle it away from their grasp.

3.

Reinforced Heavy Crossbow

Power Strength Agility Weight
550 1 1 3

Although it takes longer to reload compared to most other crossbows, the reinforced heavy crossbow boasts an unmatched level of power among all its kind. In contrast, guns can be fired repeatedly immediately after reloading, and they offer the option of coated bolts for a tactical advantage, albeit at the cost of reduced power.

The reinforced crossbow is among two types that need a pulley for loading, making it suitable for silent operations or during siege assaults. You can acquire one at Shooting Master Bosonga situated on the southern side of Sigismund’s Camp or from Master Wenceslas in Kuttenberg.

2.

Marksman’s Hook Gun

Power Strength Agility Weight
640 1 1 12

As a gamer, I’ve got to say, there’s no denying the mastery hook gun in this game packs quite a punch! It’s like the classic hook gun on steroids, with each shot packing just a bit more muscle. If you’re up for the challenge and can hone your aim to precision, this bad boy is often a one-shot kill against most adversaries – barring those lucky few who’ve managed to snag a shield.

In the Kuttenberg region, you can discover the same gun either by exploring the Locked Dugout location, which is north-west of Old Kutna and has a chest that you can unlock. Alternatively, if you prefer to avoid a bandit fight or dealing with tricky locks, you might want to purchase one from Master Prokop Eldris in his gun shop within Kuttenberg itself.

1.

Ash Longbow

Power Strength Agility Weight
230 22 16 4

In this particular game, the most potent bow is known as the Ash Longbow. It boasts the maximum power among all bows, but comes with stringent skill prerequisites – a staggering 22 Strength points are needed to wield it effectively. When it comes to damage per second, this ranged weapon surpasses firearms, dealing more damage in quick succession than multiple gunshots within the same time frame.

In the wild, it’s seldom to stumble upon longbows because bandits usually carry elm or poacher’s bows, especially at advanced levels. However, you can purchase one from Master Wenceslas’ shop, located in the southeast of Kuttenberg. If you often employ ranged weapons outside of stealth, it’s advisable to always have this bow ready for use.
