Crossbows

Crossbows are a type of equipment that give characters  Ranged Damage, which in turn grants the Support Ally tactical ability in Fight and Hunting encounters.

Crossbows are one of the two types of equipment that occupy the Ranged Weapons equipment slot; the other are bows. Crossbows have higher  Ranged Damage than bows, but are heavier and costlier.

The primary and secondary materials used do not give additional attribute bonuses: all crossbows give  Ranged Damage, and nothing else. The quality of the materials does still affect the value of the Ranged Damage bonus.

Researching crossbows requires unlocking bows first, and is not needed for unlocking anything else.
