Crossbow

The Crossbow is a miscellaneous weapon in Counter-Strike Online obtainable randomly via Code Box. For Singapore/Malaysia region, it also can be purchased in Shop for durations only.

Overview
The Crossbow in-game is fed with 50 rounds of Crossbow bolts. It can still be fired rapidly although its rate of fire is lower than any other assault rifle. The arrow that has been shot by the user does not instantly hit the target, unlike other weapons, but has a delay time to reach the target (much like a real crossbow). It is one of the best weapons to engage zombies.

Variant

A crossbow that fires 50 rounds of bolts. It has a fast rate of fire and high accuracy in addition to a quiet firing mechanism that makes it perfect for attacking without being discovered. Unfortunately, bolts fly slower than bullets, so there is a delay before a target is hit. This upgraded version boasts enhanced performance and improved structure.

Crossbow Advance can be obtained by collecting kill points by following these rules:
 * 1) This event can only be conducted by those who has the original Crossbow.
 * 2) The Upgrade Event is only available once.
