Mod:Compound Crossbow

The crossbow is both silent and fairly accurate, and is one of the best anti-zombie weapons in the game.

Overview
The Weapon feeds from 12-Arrow crossbow quivers, and although it will automatically reload from the quivers, the rate of fire is very slow, detracting from this weapons use in PvP, unless you have the advantage of surprise. The crossbow can effectively kill all infected with one bolt making head shots unnecessary. The crossbow can also fire Tranquilizer and Explosive arrows.

This weapon is common, and can be found in Barns. Once fired, an arrow will become embedded in an object such as a tree, or a zombie. It can then be recovered by coming close to the bolt and looking at it, and using the add action. However, if a zombie falls on the bolt, it becomes very difficult or impossible to recover the bolt. If this happens, using the 'Hide Body' action will remove the bolt as well. These arrows also have a chance to break upon firing. The Tranquilizer Arrow is a useful tool for Survivors#Heroes who do not want to murder hostile Survivors. What it does is gives a player shot with it an extended knockout with no bleed effect. The shooter then can escape safely. The Explosive behaves similarly to a grenade launcher explosion. It can destroy vehicles and kill players almost instantly, making the crossbow much more powerful. These bolts are rare however, perhaps reducing their general usefulness compared to grenade launchers.

The Crossbow can support a variety of Optics, including the CCO and Scope.
