This article is about items named "Crossbow". For a general description of crossbows in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, see Crossbow. |
There are 7 homonymously named crossbows in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, all effectively versions of the same weapon, with linearly growing power, level requirements and rarity as loot. All except the common one can be purchased or found as random loot, but each stronger version will be available in fewer places and after reaching a higher level threshold. For simplicity, they are presented here grouped by item iters.
Common[]
The most basic crossbow, received from Vesemir in White Orchard, just before fighting the griffin during the main quest The Beast of White Orchard.
If Geralt has no crossbow on him, it may also be auto-equipped for free during other quests, when shooting a crossbow is required. The one exception being the Blood and Wine expansion quest Turn and Face the Strange, where it is strategically placed as loot instead.
