I have seen many complaining about the crossbow and how it s op but if you think about it it s only right to make it a powerful weapon for the following reasons.
Killing floor 2 sharpshooter railgun vs crossbow.

It is one of the two weapons in game that fires retrievable ammunition the other being eviscerator crossbow does high damage to small and medium zeds has penetration power on its projectiles and is capable of incapacitating medium and big zeds by stunning the disadvantages of this weapon are rather unsufficient damage against big.
Later on you will want to replace it with either a railgun spx or m14 spx.
The sharpshooter is particularly adept at killing large zeds dishing out impressive damage with each headshots.
The sharpshooter is the sniper striking his foes from afar destroying zed after zed with well placed headshots.
With tactical reload you can safely stun and kill scrakes at minimal cost.
Many people said it s useless to pick up tier 1 and tier 2 weapons because they re basically garbage compared to end tier weapons such as the aa12.
It takes 0 35 seconds to lock on to a normal zed 0 60 seconds to lock on to a scrake or fleshpound and 1 10.
The sharpshooter is the far end of the commando gunslinger sharpshooter continuum trading the rate and fire and mobility of the other perks for increased damage and accuracy especially at long range.
The crossbow doesn t always stun on the first hit and i think it depends on the damage output you have by getting more rack em up heard that s how stuns work somewhere on an older thread.
However lock on shots deal half the damage of shots that aren t locked on.

I prefer the m99 over any of sharpshooter s weapons.
The crossbow is the sharpshooter s tier 2 projectile weapon.
Railgun p90 is the try hard sharpshooter build 8.
It is a single shot high power sniper rifle capable of either automatically locking onto target s vulnerable hit zones such as head at cost of halved damage default firing mode on pickup or a purchase or of free firing like m99 amr with no guidance but doing full damage.
The rail gun is one of sharpshooter s tier 4 weapons.
When aiming down the sight the gun will automatically lock on to zed weakpoints if lock on is enabled.
The crossbow is a good economy option in early waves due to it reliably stunning scrakes in 2 shots with ballistic shock.
The alternate fire toggles the lock on mode.
