Overview
The Crossbow is a tranquillizer-dart-firing hunting crossbow. It is first obtained in the chapter Apprehension where a scientist advises Gordon Freeman to use it against the Ichthyosaur. Like the Glock 17, the crossbow can be fired underwater.
Equipped with a rail mounted scope, the crossbow also acts as Gordon Freeman's sniping weapon, and is ideal for engaging distant targets. It is fed from a magazine of 5 darts with 10 projectiles in reserve [1].
The Crossbow has a different model than the version featured in Half-Life, and has a STANAG-style bolt magazine. The amount of Crossbow darts available in the clip will not be visually presented on the screen [2].
Primary Function
Fires a bolt.
The bolts don't have arc when fired [3]. Unlike HL2's Crossbow, the bolts bounce off objects [4] and will not pin enemies to walls [5].
Secondary Function
Zooms in using the scope attached to the crossbow.
