The Healing Crossbow is a Bow that was added in the Winter Games 2017 event as the final prize, featured in the Winter Games 2017 Update.

Strategy[]

Concerning it in its new light, this weapon having received a much needed ammunition buff, has since become a much more reliable automatic bow, as combined with its decent damage, accuracy, reload speed, and agility compliment well with its very fast rate of fire and amazing range; without going unnoticed though, its projectiles are not instant hit, and like its pestilent opposite, the Post-Toxic Crossbow, it has to get into close ranges with its foes to deal lengthy damage. While it handles its own well against tank and moderately defensive builds, it has a much harder time cracking maxed Anti Equipment.

Coming more so to save itself rather than its allies, this weapon is at its peak when it can be played offensively in close to mid-ranges, where its shots most often do not miss within Run And Gun, from the back and corners, this weapon can also be used to Ambush enemies, even the ones with armor, as users Circle around them, curing them of their protection. Ranged away on the battlefield, and this weapon gains negative symptoms from Assault Weapons, Launchers, and Heavy Weapons.

Trivia[]

Crusader's Crossbow

The Crusader's Crossbow from Team Fortress 2.

  • Interestingly this crossbow consists of the same color pallet as the Medic Kit.
  • Upon its debut in Winter Games 2017, this weapon received overwhelming criticism from the community due to having an extremely low tank, greatly diminishing the reward of what many considered a fruitless event.
    • Digital Legends did not concede to these complaints until a complete rework for Bows was made, during the Archery Tournament 2 Update - during the Tournaments extension.
    • Meaning this weapon remained a laughingstock for a year and five months.
  • The weapon's design is eerily similar (if not - is directly inspired by) the Crusader's Crossbow from Team Fortress 2; as used by the Medic to heal teammates while also dealing minimal damage to enemies.
