Notes

• Since the Crusader's Crossbow uses local immunity frames, it means that it does not lose any damage output due to invincibility frames.
• Syringes have the same AI as arrows.
• The Crusader's Crossbow can be switched out for a different weapon while its reloading.

Strategies

• Due to the Crusader's Crossbow's slow firing speed, the Medic shouldn't use it as a main damage source.
  • Instead, he should rely on his allies for the necessary damage output.
• Syringes are affected by gravity. Therefore, aiming is key.
  • Since this weapon supports focus shot, the Medic can fire homing syringes that are unaffected by gravity, allowing for long-ranged capabilities. With this in mind, he can stop worrying about missing his target.
• The Medic can use this weapon as an alternative to the Medi Gun for healing friendly NPCs and players.
  • However, he doesn't build up ÜberCharge with it.
• The Medic can switch to his other weapons quickly due to the Crusader's Crossbow's ability to allow weapon swap while reloading.
  • Furthermore, it automatically reloads when not held.

Trivia

• The Crusader's Crossbow is similar to the Flare Gun.
  • Both weapons have similar abilities to their respective class' main weapon.
  • Both weapons automatically reload when not held.
