(sort of a middle ground between the last few back-and-forth edits. (couldn't think of a great place to put the stickybomb fact, so i just put it in after the mention of the bolt doing damage. If you have a better placement, feel free to move it.))

The '''Crusader's Crossbow''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Weapons#medicprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Medic]]. It is a wooden crossbow with a metal barrel attached to a canister housing a syringe. The Medic's class icon is present on both the canister and the frame of the Crusader's Crossbow. 
 
−
 
 
−
The Crusader's Crossbow fires a [[Projectiles|syringe]] that travels in a slight arc with a team-colored healing streak trailing behind it. The Crusader's Crossbow does not require the user to charge their shot before firing, and the time spent reloading is less than the Huntsman; however, unlike with the Huntsman, the syringes cannot score [[headshot]]s. Syringes fired from the Crusader's Crossbow will [[damage]] enemies and heal teammates, allowing a player to deal damage to an enemy or heal a teammate from great distances. Syringes are unable to destroy [[stickybomb]]s. Healing a teammate with a bolt will play a distinct, angelic sound effect to indicate success. Disguised enemy [[Spy|Spies]] are damaged by syringes, rather than healed. Any player hit with a syringe fired from the Crusader's Crossbow, regardless of team, will appear to have a syringe sticking out of their body as a cosmetic effect.
 
−
 
 
−
Syringes function on a reversed damage falloff scale; the further a syringe travels, the greater the amount of damage (or healing) it will cause. The amount of health replenished is not affected by whether the teammate has been [[Medi Gun#Healing rate|recently damaged]]. Healing teammates with a syringe fired from the Crusader's Crossbow will also contribute a small amount of {{botignore|charge}} to the Medic's [[ÜberCharge]] meter. Critical hits do not affect the amount of healing done or amount of {{botignore|charge}} gained. ÜberCharge gain rate is reduced in the same way that the Medi Gun's healing (and therefore, ÜberCharge build rate) is; that is, the ÜberCharge gain rate is reduced by a third when the target has been damaged within the past 10 seconds, and scales back to normal over 10 to 15 seconds.
 
−
 
 
−
Unlike with the Medic's other primary weapons, a [[Pyro]] can [[Compression Blast|deflect]] a syringe fired from the Crusader's Crossbow back at the Medic, or into their own teammates to give them a health boost.

The kill icon for the Crusader's Crossbow was contributed by {{Steamid|76561197976113694}}.
