Skyrim:Crossbow

Crossbows are available with the Dawnguard add-on, and crossbow other than the basic one can only be acquired by siding with the Dawnguard (see Ancient Technology for details). Crossbows all require bolts as ammunition instead of arrows. While bolts can be manufactured at any forge, crossbows can only be crafted at Gunmar's forge in Fort Dawnguard or at the All Forge in the Myrwatch Creation.

†The Enhanced versions have an additional property: Attacks with this crossbow ignore 50% of armor. This effect is not considered an enchantment, so enhanced crossbows can be enchanted like any normal unenchanted weapon, though they will only display the text for this effect and not for any enchantment that you may place on it.

††Despite saying they have the same speed as the long bow, all crossbows fire significantly slower than most of the normal bows. Unlike with normal bows, however, it is possible to circumvent this by means of an exploit: unequipping the bow then re-equipping it by means of hotkeys will cause the crossbow to be reloaded.

Bugs

• Dwarven crossbows equipped to (some? all?) followers can get into a glitch where the follower continually raises and lowers the crossbow but never fires. Equipping a steel crossbow or a Creation Club crossbow fixes the problem. ^?
