Adaptable Crossbow is a Tier 4 Unique Weapon based on a heavily modified Grenade Launcher type weapon. It can be purchased from Treasured Trophies at the Outpost.

The design was submitted by a solarium tier pre-order backer, who was granted the ability to design a weapon to be included in the game.

The weapon's long description reads as follows: "Launches interchangeable bolts by magnetic force."

As part of its unique design quirk, the secondary attack - Adaptable Ammo - is not actually an attack, but will instead cycle the weapon's ammo type. All ammo types with a damaging component have identical base power. The toggled ammo type corresponds to these colors (Keep in mind Gifs will take a while to render, and damages displayed might not be same as yours, due to armor and other buffs)

  • Yellow - Regular crossbow wooden bolt; treated as a hunting weapon for the purpose of obtaining drops. Costs 24 energy per shot.

  • Orange - Explosive bolt which creates a fire-type explosion on impact but does not apply burning. Costs 48 energy per shot. Unlike most of the ammo types, this bolt will pass through neutral entities, and will only directly strike hostile entities or tiles. Neutral entities can be damaged if they are in the blast radius, however.

  • Blue - Freezing bolt, damages and applies freezing. Costs 36 energy per shot.

  • Purple (dark center) - Gravity implosion, strongly pulls enemies into the place where the bolt strikes. Costs 48 energy per shot. Unlike most of the ammo types, this bolt will pass through all entities, and will only directly strike tiles. All entities, including the player, will be affected by the gravity. No damage is dealt by this bolt.

Unlike most of the ammo types, this bolt will pass through all entities, and will only directly strike tiles. All entities, including the player, will be affected by the gravity. No damage is dealt by this bolt.
