The Armadyl crossbow is a ranging weapon that requires a Ranged level of 70 to wield. It is dropped only by Commander Zilyana. This item counts as an Armadyl item in the God Wars Dungeon.

It is the only crossbow with a Prayer bonus. However, it is outclassed by the dragon hunter crossbow when fighting dragons. The crossbow has an attack range of 8. Longrange increases attack range by 2.

Costs 55% special attack energy
	Magic shortbow	50 Ranged	+69	The only shortbow to offer a special attack, which fires 2 shots in rapid succession but with reduced accuracy. Costs 55% special attack energy Can be imbued with a magic shortbow scroll, increasing accuracy to +75 and lowering the special attack cost to 50%
	Chinchompas	45 Ranged (Grey) 55 Ranged (Red) 65 Ranged (Black)	+45 (Grey) +70 (Red) +80 (Black)	The only one of three ranged weapons that offers the ability to hit more than one opponent at a time (similar to burst or barrage ancient spells), the others being the special attack of the dragon crossbow, with a similar attack, and Rune thrownaxe, with a ricochet type attack.

Trivia

• While pretending to form an alliance with Armadyl, Commander Zilyana stole the Armadyl crossbow from Kree'arra during the God Wars, keeping it as a trophy of her cunning, explaining why it is dropped by Zilyana instead of Kree'arra.
• The Armadyl crossbow is one of four unique boss drops that are not dropped by the respective bodyguards (excluding hilts or pets), the others being Steam battlestaff, Saradomin's light and Staff of the dead.
• There's a 1/250 chance that when one receives a bird's nest from woodcutting, instead of the standard bird chirping sound, they'll hear the crossbow's special attack sound instead. This is likely some kind of easter egg meant to scare the players briefly as a joke.
