Scatter Crossbow

The Scatter Crossbow is a rare crossbow in Minecraft Dungeons II with a simple philosophy: when enemies close in from every side, answer with bolts in every direction. Its built-in effect shortens the time between shots, and it earns an A tier rating for calculated DPS — elite company for a non-unique weapon.

Stats and mechanics

The built-in effect reduces time between shots with ranged weapons by 30%, a significant fire-rate boost that turns the crossbow into a crowd-shredding hose. Recorded at item power 19 with a light weight and the Summoner + Support archetype, it stays quick to handle while pouring out bolts. Bolts are unlimited and self-regenerating in Dungeons II, so the faster cycle never runs dry. Enchantments that trigger on hits scale especially well with the accelerated output.

How to get it

The Scatter Crossbow drops in Howling Woods, Rainy Plains and Lullaby Hills. Watch vendors and mission chests in those areas — and remember that any Scatter Crossbow drop can roll as its unique variant, the Harp Crossbow.

Builds and playstyles

The Scatter Crossbow is the crowd-control answer for crossbow fans: point it at a pack and keep the trigger down. It pairs well with enchanting choices that reward frequent hits. Heroes who want the ultimate version of this fantasy should hunt the unique Harp Crossbow with its 60% chance of extra projectiles, or The Cross Pollinator for an even bigger 40% shot-speed boost. The Rapid Crossbow is the fastest standard alternative, and the plain Crossbow is the baseline.
