The dragon hunter crossbow is a dragonbane weapon obtained as a possible reward from the Chambers of Xeric, requiring 70 Ranged to wield. Broad bolts may be used if the player has their requirement of 55 Slayer. The crossbow has an attack range of 7, and the longrange combat style will increase it by 2.

The dragon hunter crossbow possesses a passive effect that increases ranged accuracy by 30% and damage by 25% when fighting draconic creatures, such as dragons and wyverns. However, Elvarg and revenant dragons are not affected by this bonus. This stacks additively with the Slayer helm (i),[1] but multiplicatively with Void Knight equipment and salve amulets.[2]

After claiming the hard tier rewards from the Combat Achievements system, the dragon hunter crossbow can be combined with kbd heads to create a black variant. Similarly, a turquoise variant can be made with Vorkath's head after claiming the elite tier rewards.
