The heavy crossbow in Cosmic Odyssey is a powerful ranged weapon built for armor penetration and precision at medium to long range. Its sturdy frame and reinforced prod generate immense bolt velocity, allowing it to punch through even heavy protection. The winding mechanism—whether a simple lever, crank, or advanced compound gear—makes it slower to reload than lighter crossbows, but the resulting shot is devastating.

Favored by siege troops, sharpshooters, and hunters of large or heavily armored prey, the heavy crossbow trades speed for unmatched stopping power. Its ability to hold a loaded bolt indefinitely gives the wielder the advantage of striking at the perfect moment, while its stability allows for accurate targeting even under battlefield pressure. In skilled hands, a heavy crossbow is as much a tool of intimidation as it is a weapon, each shot carrying the weight of decisive force.
