Repeating Crossbow

A repeating crossbow is a crossbow weapon that allows multiple bolts to be loaded at once. This allows for a much higher rate of fire, and thus more damage per second, because it takes much less time to ready the next pre-loaded bolt than it does to load a bolt initially.

Repeating crossbows vary in the number of bolts that can be loaded in their chamber. Some crossbows hold as few as 2 bolts where others may hold 4, 8, or more bolts.

Mechanics

EXAMINE/LOOK:

• The repeating crossbow is unarmed / ready to fire a crossbow bolt.

• PUSH - to ready available ammo within the ammunition chamber. [3 sec RT]
• UNLOAD - to remove ready ammunition from the crossbow. [3 sec RT]
