Crossbows are weapons used in ranged combat that require a certain Ranged level to wield. They are different than bows in that they are horizontal and can be held with one hand (except for the Karil's crossbow), allowing a player to carry a shield with the other.
Free-to-play players are recommended to stay with bows as the crossbows available to them are weak, while members have very strong crossbows. Crossbows require ammunition in the form of bolts.
Regular crossbows have a normal attack range of 7 and a long distance range of 9.
Dorgeshuun crossbow has a normal attack range of 6 and long distance range of 8.
Karil's crossbow, Armadyl crossbow, and Zaryte crossbow have a normal attack range of 8 and long distance range of 10.
