The Explosive Crossbow is a Semi-Automatic Explosive Bow that was given to Tournament winners during the Archery Tournament Update.
Strategy[]
Leaving no one disappointed in its debut, this Bow not only features an explosive impact like the Booming Bow, but the ability to sling off multiple rounds before reloading; having moderate moving projectiles in response. By itself, this gun has good damage, splash, range, and accuracy, for low agility and a dipping arrow. Left without a charging mechanism, this slinger is forced to muster the threat of moderate builds.
Impacting the battlefield can be best achieved by Run And Gun as though having the mentioned agility, its pros come into greater effect, enabling for Ambushes around corners, or clearing the way for advancing forces. Contrasting just as well, is Camping, where handlers can Fire from Afar alleviating its mediocre rate of fire and reload speed. Speedy Shotgun, Launcher, and Heavy Weapon frenzies can cause concern in a firefight.

Trivia[]
- With its release in Trial 4, buyers of the 'Parcher' Bag were unhappy to see the Booming Bow be so quickly "usurped".
- Due to its pierce and no auto-aim, players can headshot with it - the only Explosive Weapon to do so.
- This passive will also provide holders with a chance to create somewhat of a "ricochet", which pierces through an enemy happening to wear the Knight Cuirass and instantly downing them when the arrow impacts a surface nearby.
- In the Archery Tournament 2 Update, this weapons rate of fire was slightly reduced; it's the only Bow to have been nerfed.
