The Repeating Crossbow is a Crossbow in Elden Ring. It has the highest physical attack of any crossbow in the game. It is part of Shadow of the Erdtree, found in Scadu Altus.

The Repeating Crossbow is a mechanized crossbow fitted with a fan-shaped contraption that adds a reloading system for its unique battle art. It is found on a body beside the road where Black Knights battle a Ghostflame Dragon, south of the Moorth Ruins in Scadu Altus, and it is the weapon of the Knight of the Solitary Gaol. Its unique skill, Repeating Fire, readies the mechanism so cranking the handle fires bolts in rapid succession. That stream of bolts makes it reliable for building status effects at a distance, though it costs FP and plenty of stamina. It suits any build that wants sustained ranged fire.

Why Players Pick It

The Repeating Crossbow is the only crossbow with a unique skill. Repeating Fire readies a cranked mechanism that fires bolts in quick succession, a reliable way to build status at range, and it has the highest base physical in its class at 74. It comes with the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

Skill

Repeating Fire costs 0 / 26 / 26 FP. The wielder readies the crossbow's rapid-fire mechanism, then cranks the handle to loose twelve bolts in rapid succession with one attack input. Each bolt deals far less damage than a normal shot, and every bolt drains stamina. Movement slows and stamina recovers much more slowly while the stance is held. The skill is unique to this weapon and cannot be swapped out.

"This skill readies the weapon's rapid-fire mechanism. Once in ready stance, crank the handle to fire bolts in rapid succession."
