The Explosive Crossbow is a Crossbow that fires a fast moving projectile, similar to a Clinger, which deals contact damage to players and structures, and then explodes after a short time, dealing additional damage.[1]

The Explosive Crossbow is a projectile based weapon. It has a scope, so first shot accuracy is irrelevant. There is no damage falloff on the Explosive Crossbow's projectiles.
