DESCRIPTION
Inspired by the Wookie bowcasters, this weapon was designed for Big Game Hunters in the outer Rim, and was marketed as a 'hunting' implement to bypass certain laws across the galaxy. While popular amongst hunters, the weapon has seen usage amongst bounty hunters and assassins, thanks to the weapons long range and excessive damage.Due to the power restrictions of the weapon, each shot has a 'windup' period of 1 second. Combined with its heavy recoil, the weapon alone can be a liability outside of sniping targets. To combat this, Krayt Crossbows have a modular feature of attaching either a melee weapon or a light or medium pistol to underneath the front. Pistols are fired independently of the crossbow, and can be switched on with a press of a button on the crossbows stock.
The high power optical scope on the crossbow comes with thermal imaging, but is also modular and can be replaced. The crossbow's energized strings depower and the limbs fold inward for easy transport, but remain easily identifiable.
