How to Load and Fire the Overhauled Crossbow

Understanding the New Firing Mechanics

Crossbowverhaul completely replaces the standard vanilla weapon across your world. Instead of firing standard vanilla arrows, the weapon requires specialized bolts. Due to the mod's altered combat mechanics, the weapon takes noticeably longer to reload each shot. This slower reload demands patience and deliberate positioning rather than rapid fire, rewarding accurate aim with high-damage projectile impacts.

Loading and Firing Steps

1. Ensure you have specialized bolts stored in your inventory or off-hand slot. Standard arrows will not work.

2. Hold the overhauled crossbow in your main hand and hold right-click to initiate the loading process.

3. Keep holding right-click through the slower draw animation until the weapon clicks into its primed state.

4. Take time to aim your crosshair carefully at your target, compensating for the slower pace.

5. Press right-click again to loose the loaded bolt toward your target.
