My editions may be a bit weird, and most of the work was done via merger.

If you have suggestion, patches etc. please let us know, on a side note this is my first mod, so please take thatint consideration

This mod uses or changes crossbow files, textures and models from Blood and Wine DLC and 13. DLC (the one that brought 3 new crossbows into game), one Perk and Mutation from Blood and Wine DLC. It's written for 1. 31 GOTY version of the game. I don't know how it would behave on other game versions, but I'm almost sure, that it won't work (or lack some features) without any of mentioned DLCs.

1. Introduction

This mod aims to completly redesign crossbow combat in The Witcher 3. Crossbow in the base game is used almost only to shoot down flying or diving monsters (and in two quests). It's so under-powered that only with 'cat eyes' mutation (damage buff like 5x, knockdown, piercing and first shot taking 15% of victim's HP) it could actually kill something. Almost all crossbows were named just 'Crossbow' and the only things they had different were look and damage multipiller. This mod doesn't just buff crossbow damage, it changes crossbow mechanics entirely. Here all crossbows are divided into 4 main types: semi-automatic, fully automatic, sniper and shotgun-like crossbows. What's more, each crossbow has it's own parameters like Ammunition, Reload time, Range or Spread. In order to use all these crossbow types, some new mechanics needed to be introduced, and input had to be changed. This mod also adjusts price and crafting recipes for bolts a bit and adds legendary bolts schematics. All of the items also come in New Game+ variant (even free bolts). All of items and shematics added within the mod you can find spread across the world, in chests or shops (Hattori has almost all of them).

The mod is still unfinish
