Talk:Sniper Crossbow/@comment-1086824-20130817140903

With the Hawk Ring and a full salvo of Sniper Bolts, the Sniper Crossbow has the longest range out of any weapon/spell/attack in the entire game. By using binoculars (you can zoom in-and-out with the directional pad), you can safely snipe most enemies in the game from outside their aggro range. While this takes considerable amounts of time due to the sluggishness of pulling out the binoculars, if used this weapon can trivialize most areas of the game.

In addition, due to the way the player holds the crossbow when firing, the bolt travels almost dead center down the middle of where you were looking at through the binoculars. This is unique from all other ranged weapons, and makes aiming from long ranges easy.
