Chaotic Crossbow

Chaotic Crossbow
The Chaotic crossbow is a ranged weaponand is currently the most accurate crossbow in BetaScape and "should be" tied with the zaryte bow as the second-most accurate ranging weapon in the game, only behind the magic longbow (sighted), which has 140 ranged attack. Requiring 80 Ranged to wield, the crossbow fires bolts up to and including rune.

The chaotic crossbow is a one handed weapon and fires at the same rate as any crossbow made out of standard metal. This weapon will also fire enchanted bolts.

A common misconception is that the max hit of the Chaotic crossbow is higher than the rune crossbow. This is untrue, however, as the max hits of ranged weapons are determined solely by the amunition used. In contrast, the max hit of melee attacks depend on the overall equipment strength bonus. The Chaotic crossbow simply has about 33% more ranged attack than the rune crossbow - This is very significant when fighting high defense bosses such as Kree'Arra, the Corporal Beast or Nex as you will hit considerably more often.

It should be noted that even though the magic longbow (sighted) has more ranged attack it can only use ammo with lesser ranged strength, compared to a crossbow. Therefore the crossbow could be a better choice. Additionally the crossbow allows you to wield an off-hand item as well.

The crossbow is comparable to the hand cannon. Both have the same speed, but the Hand Cannon has +150 Ranged Strength, while the Crossbow has +30 more Ranged Bonus and can use different types of bolts (Broad bolts are commonly used, which have +100 Ranged Strength).

After approximately 30 minutes of combat, the Chaotic crossbow will degrade completely and must be fixed with about 25m gp while used on an anvil. To do so, right-click on the bow and use it on the anvil.

Upon dying in the wilderness with a Chaotic Crossbow, it will protect over any item worth under 100,000 coins in value, while items worth over 100,000 coins take priority over the Chaotic Crossbow.
