Bolt

From BioShock Wiki

Bolts are the ammunition used by the Crossbow. There are three different types of bolts. Bolts that do not shatter on impact are recoverable by the player.

[edit] Steel-Tip Bolt

The Crossbow's steel-tip bolts do high piercing damage, and are effective against all targets. Steel-tip bolts can be bought and found in abundance, furthering increasing their versatile use.

[edit] Incendiary Bolt

The Crossbow's incendiary bolts do high fire damage, will ignite flammable objects, and are effective against all targets. Incendiary bolts can be bought and found in limited quantities.

[edit] Trap Bolts

The Crossbow's trap bolts do high piercing damage, and are effective against all targets. These bolts will not break on impact, and no head shot bonus is applied. Trap bolts will release an electrical tripwire shortly after impact, which does high electric damage to enemies in contact, and then becomes expended. Trap bolts can be found and manufactured in limited quantities.

Note: if the player fires a Trap Bolt at a enemy, and the enemy dies without the tripwire being released, the bolt will be recoverable.
