Despite a long reload time and slow dart speed, the crossbow always has been and still is an accurate and stealthy option for dispatching opponents. The secondary attack allows you to use the telescopic scope to zoom in and snipe victims from a great distance with accuracy. This sniper function is deadly in multiplayer as when the scope is used the crossbow bolts become as fast as bullets and hit instantly (though they lose their explosive ability). Don’t let the power go to your head – while zoomed in it is harder to be aware of your surroundings and it is much more difficult to run around.

In Half-Life: Source, one of the additional features is that crossbow bolts can impale enemies and pin their corpses to walls.
