How to Use Elden Ring's Bows and Crossbows to Aim and Zoom

It might sometimes be a bit challenging to learn how to use the controls for a crossbow or bow and arrow in Elden Ring. But since these guns can aim and zoom for close-range strikes, it's critical to understand how to use the controls. We'll go over how to aim and zoom with crossbows and bows in Elden Ring in this article.

Elden Ring's Introduction to Bows and Crossbows

Of course, you must have the gear equipped in order to use the bow or crossbow in Elden Ring. And you may hold this as your main or secondary item with your left or right hand. Shields are a little bit simpler to use with a crossbow than they are with a bow, but you cannot use any of your secondary weapons when using a bow.

To fire anything with one of these tools, you must also have bolts, arrows, or huge arrows equipped.

Considering that you understand all of this: The bow, great bow, or crossbow may be used in the same way as any other weapon. A shot may be manually aimed, which is difficult, or it can latch on to the target and follow it automatically.

Aiming a Bow or Crossbow

You just need to hit the LB or L1 buttons to manually aim. This will display a crosshair for you to align your shots with. You really need that button to shoot the bow, since this will essentially replace your shield or second weapon.Using two hands on the bow, you just equip the bow you wish to shoot with on a PC, right-click, and then right-click again to bring up the aiming reticle.
