The Witch Hunter Crossbow is a specialized ranged weapon designed to counter magical foes and unpredictable threats. With its unique charging mechanics and dual-arrow firing mode, this crossbow gives you both precision and power on the battlefield.

Overview

How It Works

Charging and Firing

1. Starting the Charge:

   • When you begin using the Witch Hunter Crossbow, it enters a charging phase.

   • An animation reminiscent of drawing a bow sets the mood, building anticipation for the upcoming shot.

2. Checking for Arrows:

   • The crossbow scans your inventory for arrows.

   • If no arrows are detected, it switches to a standby mode and displays an action bar message: “You need arrows to use this.”

3. Releasing the Charge:

   • Once charged, releasing the crossbow converts it to its “charged” state.

   • In this state, two arrows are launched:

     • The first arrow is fired with a higher speed multiplier (5x).

     • The second arrow follows closely with a slightly reduced speed (4.5x).

4. Durability and Replacement:

   • Each use slightly damages the crossbow.

   • If its durability reaches the maximum limit, it is automatically removed from your equipment slot.
