Repeating Crossbow is a Weapon in Dark Souls 3. It is part of The Ringed City.



This crossbow, customized for repeat-firing to face mobs alone, was wielded by Slave Knight Gael.

Used in the battles of an endless journey, this crossbow is covered with twists and dinks, rusted with blood, and made extremely brittle from overuse.

Skill: Repeat Fire 
Assume stance to activate repeat firing mechanism, and repeat fire with normal and strong attacks.



Notes and Tips:

  • Cannot be Buffed or Infused.
  • Upgrades with Titanite Scale.
  • Has the lowest durability among all crossbows.
  • Received a damage buff in Regulation 1.33; it is still outclassed by most of the crossbows however.

      We became so paranoid of the bowglitch that almost everybody I encounter starts panicrolling the moment they hear someone using this crossbow lol

        Was recently on an undead match binge and over half the people I fought were doing the bow glitch, Jesus Christ grow up!

            Got invaded once by an Aldrich faithful, seemed to be surprisingly chill. Next thing I knew, my health had hemorrhaged to nothing and I had no clue what happened, besides seeing an ungodly volley of arrows. I guess this is what caused it lol. Note to self, never trust a crossbow user

              Never mind the stupid glitch. I don't care. This weapon is tons of fun to use. Treating a Soulsborne game like it's a third person shooter is super cool and tons of fun.

                Look you guys can play with your glitches and all, I just wanna cosplay Mithrix and use his needle attack

                  I don't care about what anybody says, im using this to shoot splintering bolts anytime I decide to kill gael. Full auto shotgun ftw!

                    "you are cheating. You are breaking the game's core mechanics with an unbalanced glitch."

                    Oh, so now you care about how is this game supposed to work, you estus-cancelling, ganking twink?

                      It is such a poetic thing that Gael wields a sword that stuck onto him for many years to deliver justice as a abused slave who executes the pygmy kings with a executioner's sword that has been beyond chipped with years of experience; and a repeating crossbow which is one of it's kind and a ingenuity invention of the future.

                        When the law is corrupt to the core you gotta break the rules, mate. Summoning was intended? Yeah. Ruining the very concept of invasions by summoning 3 phantoms indefinetly with all the advantages of the world? Not intended in the slightest, but defended to death for pure convenience.

                        Pretty sure you're to blame for elden ring's horrendous pvp, hosts of embers. You ain't having a good time here anymore.

                          That one lone host who tries to smack the invader out of his world by himself doesn't have to worry about this glitch. Those who always run to summon their helicopter papas? Nope. Get chakka chakka.

                                    Repeating Crossbow at +1 has almost the same AR as Arbalest +2. This means that at ~20 SL this crossbow is a solid option. They could call you a filthy twink, but as long as you don't have upgraded estus nor prisoner's chain there shouldn't be any wrong, considering how unpopular this weapon is.

                                      The WA actually has a very good amount of damage per use and decent accuracy with sniper bolts. You can do A LOT of damage to Midirs head or other bigger enemies from the right distance. Also don't even get me started about lightning bolts and puddles.

                                        WA stunlocks and annihilates harald knights in the ringed city, extremely useful for NG+ or jolly cooperation

                                          If you were to use the bow glitch to kill people in pvp, why not just straight up start cheating and insta killing people? After all you are still cheating either way.

                                            I was legit having fun with this today. If you use this for the glitch just right, you literally can take out an entire gank squad. Gank squads are the legit source for soul farming.

                                            Because a lot of players carry high amounts of souls.

                                              I only see people using this for it's glitch. But it definitely doesn't pisses me off as it still requires more effort than ganksquada

                                                Ganks deserve any glitch this can pull off. They aren't playing clean in any way, so why would you?

                                                Don't hate on the dinamite if you re the one to light the fuse.

                                                  i started trying to figure out how to make a good bow/crossbow build, does anyone know what the best ranged weapon is?

                                                    Balancing attributes with this, and trying to use the Ultragreatsword, as well as Chaos orb to simulate Guts's cannon arm is gonna be interesting. Probably not that viable tbh, but I'll try

Which bolts should I use and is the weapon even worth it to use in NG+8? (Yes I'm that high in the game, making a 802 LV build) I just want to use this as a now-and-then fun tool but it should at least do a good job. It would be nice if someone could help me, even if you say don't try it, use another crossbow. I also like the Heavy Crossbow if that's a better choice.

                                                            Just use this with sniperbolts on Midirs head. Even though the accuracy of the WA is bad they can reduce the spread and the hitbox of his head is so big you'll hit almost all of your shoots. Helped me out a lot in NG, but I didn't test the potential of other crossbows for the same situation so I can't tell if another would be exeptionally better.

                                                              I don't know why they would make a crossbow that doesn't scale. Especially because they're weapons that need high level to be effective in an actual build, so it defeats the purpose of ranged damage utility at higher SL. The dumbest thing is that it's supposed to be a weapon who fought many battles, it would make sense that you could master it by also fighting many battles and becoming stronger, but they said nope, it's just a crossbow that will stay the same, only way to change it is ammunition. If splintering bolts didn't suck then maybe it could have been interesting using it. It's the same weight as a Greatbow and much, much worse than the Millwood or even any other crossbow/bow. I'm disappointed...

                                                                i used this on the crabs in the bottom of the ariandel. 110 damage with single heavy bolt, 220 damage with all 10 bolts combined. this thing is an utter failure. it does as much damage as 2 bolts, uses the same stamina as firing 2 bolts back to back, and wastes FP and essentially throws away 8 arrows. get this for collection only, it's trash.

                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                  • Anonymous

Useless in late game (since players flat reduction + absorption leaves little damage in late game) 2. It can be obtained very late in the game so newbies cant get it in order to defend themselves early on. 3. It has more than enough damage to eat newbie in second.

Someone from F.S said "this is kind of fun and tactically useful. Welp, nerf it." We can't have Boss weapons any where near as cool as the Bosses themselves I guess.
