While it can deliver strong hits, its one-bolt magazine and frequent reloads make it impractical in horde situations. A cult favourite for its comedy Beast upgrades, but rarely a competitive choice. == Beast Upgrades == * '''Divorce Lawyer''' – Increased damage; reloads more quickly. * '''Alimony Bolt''' – Noticeable DPS boost with stronger bolts and shorter delays. * '''Child Support Summoner''' – Final form; bolts hit absurdly hard, with faster cycles, turning the crossbow into a surprising late-game oddball. == Tips == * Best treated as a joke weapon — fun to use, but outclassed by rifles. * Beast upgrades make it comically viable in the mid-game, but ammo efficiency is still poor. * Great for showing off. == Trivia == * Named as a jab at Valentine’s-themed weapon tropes. * Beast upgrade chain riffs on escalating breakup humour, making it one of the silliest paths in the game. * Despite being a joke, a fully upgraded Child Support Summoner can shred elites if you’re accurate. * Crossbow runs are a brutal challenge that garner a lot of respect.
