How to Get Hand Crossbows in Baldur’s Gate 3 (Act 3)
You should get yourself the BG3 hand crossbows if you are looking for a melee ranged weapon.
While playing Baldur’s Gate 3, having the option to attack enemies from a distance is reasonably needed. Classes like Sorcerers or Wizards can use magic attacks quite easily. But for others, you rely on ranged weapons. BG3 Hand Crossbows are good because you use them one-handed, so they work differently from your bow and arrows. The game offers you 6 of them to choose from, so below are the locations of all Hand Crossbows in BG3 and what acts you can find them in, for example, Act 3.
