I used big crossbow and medium , shoot ppl in chest close 10-15 m , he didn't die.
Only from big crossbow after 4sec enemy died from bleeding.
Why crossbow doesnt make insta kill? if it has 190+ dmg ?

Because hunters have 200health and guns will only do rated damage within their effective range unless you headshot a hunter(Which is a one shot kill regardless of weapon within it's effective range).

Hunter HP is 150.

Within 10-15 meters Crossbow is lethal to chest.

Hmm, I stand corrected.

I play crossbows a lot, probably even as main weapon.

It does one shot, but it is inconsistent, as many thing in this game. It should kill with a torso shot within a fair distance, problem is legs and arms where you sometimes don't kill even from point blank and sometimes you just happen to kill anyway (just today I killed a guy with one bolt that I later found in his elbow and other one didn't die from 7 meter shot, so yea, consistency). So much like shotguns, trying to shoot a target that is standing sideways is pretty much useless. But it does inflict significant bleed and you can then push the target.

Shotbolt is probably the most consistent in this as it kills people most of the time regardless of where you hit then because it is effectively a shotgun shell from point blank with all pellets hitting so long as you hit hunter. It can also wallbang through wood. It is not 100% and sometimes they survive, but it is more commonly a kill then not. It can also kill on far bigger distance as it bolt doesn't do damage, the explosion of shotgun shell does. Aiming gets tougher with distance of course.

Now, explosive crossbow can also instakill but is negated by Bulwark trait which some people may have. With this crossbow I suggest you aim underneath your target's legs. It can still kill that way and you are much more likely to get any hit rather then trying body shot since this crossbow has extremely slow bolts. It also does explosions, so bigger radius counts as hit but the dmg from anything but ~2m from your target is negligible.

One handed crossbow and its meme variant...uum pardon my French, I mean poison variant are just....useless. They are there to show you how much "fun" the unlock system is.

Might be because it's inconsistant, I never used small with poision, it should be usless and never seen smb using it .
Used small one and bigger with explosive , so fun to use it.
But anyway ppl not dieng from big crossbow is strange..

Abd when I get shot by small crossbow i die from 1 bolt gg nice game

[Displatcher]

Also torso has 2 hitboxes..upper and lower torso, so a low body shot might not kill.

Used the crossbow last night and they definitely went down in one shot
