The Crusader's Crossbow is a primary weapon for the Medic. It appears as a wooden crossbow with a metal barrel attached to a canister with the Medic's cross emblem on it.
Acting similarly to the Huntsman, this weapon shoots an arrow that travels in a slight arc with a team-colored trail behind it. Working as a crossbow, the weapon does not require the player to charge up a shot, but reload time is increased. Damage dealt by the arrows increases over distance, functioning as a reverse damage falloff.
Arrows fired into teammates have the added ability to heal them. The amount of health replenished also increases with distance. This can allow a sharpshooting Medic to support teammates from afar.
A Pyro can reflect a crossbow arrow back at the Medic, or into teammates, to give them a health boost. Disguised enemy Spies will be damaged by the arrows and will not be healed.

Previous Changes
- Updated the textures of the Crusader's Crossbow.
Bugs
- The weapon cannot heal at point-blank range. The Medic must step back in order to heal, otherwise the bolts will simply pass through teammates.
- Bolts impacting teammates will lodge in their body and display blood around the point of penetration.
- From a third-person view, the crossbow bolt appears to fire from the Medic's face. A possible reason could be that the weapon reuses the arrow animations of the Huntsman, which the Sniper holds up in front of his face.
- From the first-person view of the Medic, the bolt appears to fire from behind the gun. A possible reason as stated above is that with the Huntsman, the Sniper pulls the arrow back before firing it, so when when the arrow animation is used on the Crusader's Crossbow, the arrow's trail begins behind the gun.
- When a round restarts, the weapon's ammo may not be reset.
- It is possible to heal Soldiers with their Equalizer drawn.
- The Pyro's Back Scratcher does not reduce the amount of health received by the crossbow.
- The Crossbow cannot heal ÜberCharged players. When attempting to, the bolt will simply break on contact with the player.
- The Crusader's Crossbow can heal invisible Spies on the same team.
