Large bolts are a type of non-firearm ammunition, used in archery weapons.

Large bolts are the second largest type of archery weapon ammunition types, and the largest of those designed specifically for crossbows.

Large bolts can be fitted with all eight different arrowheads in the game, however, as listed on this page, certain types must be crafted.

Unlike many other ammunition types, Large bolts can be reused under specific conditions.

Critical hits, hits, and inaccurate hits: The bolt remains in the target and can be reused.
Misses: The bolt survives and can be reused.
Critical failures: The bolt's shaft breaks, and cannot be reused.

Only two exceptions apply:

Explosive heads (XPL): All hits and misses result in a detonation, making it impossible to reuse. Critical failures cause the shaft to break as normal. In other words, XPL bolts are 100% non-reusable.
Improvised field heads (IMP): Misses will break the shaft, as with critical failures.

There are 4 base weapons chambered in this caliber.

Large bolts can be purchased in forges and weapon shops in boxes of 25 bolts. Bulk cans do not exist for this type of ammunition.

The following brands and projectile types are available in retail:
