Ze healing is not as rewarding as ze hurting.
The Medic on who to aim at with the Crusader's Crossbow

The Crusader's Crossbow is a community-made primary weapon for the Medic. The Crusader's Crossbow appears as a wooden crossbow, with a metal barrel attached to a canister which houses an arrow until it is fired. The Medic's icon is present on both the canister, and the frame of the Crusader's Crossbow.

The Crusader's Crossbow fires an arrow that travels in a slight arc with a team-colored streak trailing behind it, not unlike the Huntsman. Though the Crusader's Crossbow does not require the user charge their shot before firing, the time spent reloading an active arrow is significantly increased compared to the Huntsman. Arrows fired from the Crusader's Crossbow will damage enemies and heal teammates, allowing a sharpshooting player to deal damage from a great distance. Any player hit with an arrow fired from the Crusader's Crossbow will appear to have an arrow sticking out of their body, a mere cosmetic effect.

Arrows function on a reversed damage falloff scale; the further an arrow travels, a greater amount of damage or health it will heal. The amount of health replenished is not affected by whether the teammate has been recently damaged. Healing teammates with an arrow fired from the Crusader's Crossbow does not contribute to the Medic's ÜberCharge meter.

A Pyro can reflect an arrow fired from the Crusader's Crossbow back at the Medic, or into their own teammates to give them a health boost. Disguised enemy Spies will be damaged by reflected arrows, rather than healed.

The kill icon for the Crusader's Crossbow was contributed by HyenaDip.

Bugs

  • The Medic appears to load a small bolt in to the canister when reloading the Crusader's Crossbow, but fires an arrow projectile instead, despite the description stating that it fires special bolts that heal allies.
  • In first-person view the arrows appear to fire from behind the crossbow, and in third-person view they appear to fire from the Medic's face. This is probably caused by the fact that the Crusader's Crossbow reuses the arrow animations for the Huntsman, which the Sniper holds up in front of his face when charging.
  • The ammo carried by the Crusader's Crossbow will not always reset when a new round begins.
  • The Medic's left-hand index finger appears to clip in to the grip of the Crusader's Crossbow in first-person view.
  • Attempting to view the details of the weapon via the backpack will send the player to the last item they viewed in the Mann Co. Catalog. If they have not viewed an item recently, it will instead send them to the first item, the Kritzkrieg.
