If you want to snipe enemies from a distance or hunt efficiently, you need a good bow in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Below are the best longbows and crossbows, plus where to find them.
Best Longbows
Longbows are faster and better for stealth compared to crossbows. Here are the best ones:
Ash Longbow (230 Damage) – Best Overall
Where to Get It: Buy from Huntsman Wenceslas in southeastern Kuttenberg for around 495 Groschen (depends on reputation).
Why It’s Great: Strong damage, easy to handle, and works well in both combat and hunting.
Ranyek’s Bow (200 Damage) – Best Free Bow
Where to Get It: During "The Devil’s Pack" quest, after you deal with the dice players, search Ranyek’s body to find it.
Why It’s Great: It’s completely free, and you don’t have to spend a single Groschen. The only catch? You’ll have to dig through some filth to find it.
Elm Longbow (200 Damage) – High-Tier Option
Where to Get It: Sold by Huntsman Wenceslas in southeastern Kuttenberg for around 675 Groschen.
Why It’s Great: A solid choice, though not much better than the Ash Longbow and costs more.
Best Bow Combo: Ash Longbow + Black Arrows = One-shot kills with headshots.
Best Crossbows
Crossbows hit harder than longbows but reload slower. If you prefer brute force, these are the best choices:
Decorated Field Crossbow (380 Damage) – Best Balanced Option
Where to Get It: Buy from Huntsman Wenceslas for around 595 Groschen.
Why It’s Great: Decent damage with a manageable reload speed.
Miners’ Crossbow (360 Damage) – Best Quest Reward
Where to Get It: Complete Vlach the Foreman’s “Striped Tonies” quest, then win the "Popinjay Shoot" contest in Kuttenberg.
Why It’s Great: A good mid-tier crossbow for those who like earning their gear.
Reinforced Heavy Crossbow (550 Damage) – Most Powerful, But Slowest
Where to Get It:
Buy from Huntsman Wenceslas for 495 Groschen.
Found in the Abandoned Shepherd’s Dugout southwest of Devil’s Den.
Why It’s Great: Hits like a warhammer, but reloads painfully slow. If you enjoy standing still while enemies charge at you, this is the one.
Which Bow Should You Use?
Want the best longbow? → Ash Longbow (fast, deadly, reliable).
Want a free longbow? → Ranyek’s Bow (if you don’t mind digging through filth).
Want a good crossbow? → Decorated Field Crossbow (strong without the painful reload speed).
Want pure power? → Reinforced Heavy Crossbow (if you don’t mind reloading in slow motion).
That’s it. Get your bow, arrows, or bolts, and start taking down enemies like a medieval sniper.
