The Ballista uses a special type of ammo called Ballista Bolts. It deals high damage, making it a good choice to take down enemies, such as Werewolves. You can find the Ballista at the Stillwater Prison or already in the flatcar of the Wooden Train being mounted, or you can find them not to be welded, in Towns and Abandoned Buildings. Effective for dealing with high health Enemies from a distance. Available in many Locations throughout the map. Efficient at taking down Werewolves. Extremely powerful during the final wave of Enemies at Outlaw's Town (if you chose Nikola Tesla to not spawn) Offers incredible accuracy. The Wooden Train: Spawns with a ballista.

Good deposit claims. Lacks full 360° coverage; your player model obscures everything behind you. Slow reload time. Becomes ineffective if more than one Enemy gets too close. Reduced effectiveness against crowds. Ammo can be bought, but not the weapon itself. High cost of ammo, ammo is not always available for purchase. Nearly obsolete in solo runs.
