Helsing Crossbow
Silent death, one bolt at a time.
The Helsing Crossbow is a silent, high-damage ranged weapon featured in the Metro video game series. This custom-built, manually operated crossbow is a prized tool for stealthy players in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, offering a quiet alternative to firearms. A single, well-placed bolt can drop an enemy, and the best part? You can retrieve that bolt from the body and use it again, though crafting new bolts requires a workbench.
