In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the crossbow is a ranged weapon introduced with the "Dawnguard" DLC. Crossbows are similar to bows in terms of gameplay, but they have a slower rate of fire and generally deal more damage. They are also more accurate and have a straighter trajectory, making them effective at long range.
Crossbows can be enhanced with specific enchantments or skills, and there are different types of bolts for crossbows, including Steel and Dwarven bolts. Bolts can also be enchanted or poisoned to inflict additional effects.
To get a crossbow in Skyrim, players need to join the Dawnguard faction and complete certain quests for them. Once they gain access to the Fort Dawnguard fortress, they can find crossbows and bolts or learn how to craft them themselves.
