How to Find a Crossbow

Even though it seems like there ought to be a Crossbow in one of the five nearby houses, there isn’t one. Instead, you’ll have to hold off until the Dead Island 2 DLC’s subsequent task. Fortunately, the Brain House isn’t necessary to carry out any of the three rites of passage.

After completing the Rites of Passage at the first three houses, you can then head to the fourth and final house atop the hill. After that, you’ll enter the home on the hill and have to find Veronique’s head via navigating a labyrinth. The first destination you visited in the DLC was the Haus mansion, so once you find Veronique’s head at the end of the maze, you’ll want to take it back to her body there.

This entails going back through the maze to where the houses are. Once you’ve completed all of those steps and Veronique is back to full health, she’ll give you directions to a Well deep into the forest where you can find a “special weapon.” It’s a crossbow, as you probably guessed. From the Haus estate, you can access the woods via a private entrance. After entering the woods, seek out the Well.

The Well is located at the far end of the forest on the northwest side. However, you’ll need to light two Pyres to unlock the gate leading to the Well once you arrive there. The Pyres are enormous wooden statues dispersed across the woodland. The gate to the Well will be unlocked if you set fire to the two statues, dispatch of the flaming monsters who appear, and return to the Well.

The final step is to descend into the Well and pick up the K-Prototype Crossbow from the floor. The Crossbow, which requires specialized Bolt ammunition, may be used to kill zombies and unlock locked doors and chambers in buildings. The Crossbow’s controls will be unlocked and explained in the upcoming Haus downloadable content mission.

When you initially obtain the Crossbow, it will be automatically equipped. However, you may easily switch back to it by opening your weapon wheel. As the Haus DLC progresses, you will also locate more powerful Crossbows, so you won’t always have to rely on the K-Prototype you started with.

How to Use the Crossbow

Unlike the other weapons in Dead Island 2, this one has a slightly unique mechanism. If you think about most of the zombie-killing gadgets in the game, you’ll know that they’re all about carnage. The crossbow is unique among weapons in that its slow reloads and limited ammunition force its user to be more deliberate and patient. A headshot from it can do a lot of damage, but it’s not the best thing to bring into a battle if you expect things to get heated.

Therefore, the Crossbow is most effective when used pre-battle. Take out zombies one by one from a safe distance using the scope. If you get adept at lining up headshots, you shouldn’t be hesitant to swap in your Crusher in a tough fight. It may take some time to get used to, so please exercise caution.
