Heavy ballista

The Heavy ballista is a two-handed ranged weapon that uses javelins as ammunition, requiring level 65 in Ranged to wield.

It is created by using ballista limbs on a heavy frame, then using the resulting incomplete heavy ballista on a ballista spring, and finally adding the monkey tail on an unstrung heavy ballista. The entire process requires level 72 in fletching, granting the player 660 experience.

The heavy ballista has a special attack, which increases accuracy and damage by 25% each for one shot, but takes an additional 2.4 seconds (four ticks) to fire and costs 65% of your Special Attack energy.



Trivia

 * Upon release, the heavy ballista's Ranged Attack bonus was +120. However, this was changed on 31 October 2016 to +100 due to it being "simply too strong" when paired with ranged Void Knight equipment in PvP. Furthermore, the ranged strength of javelins was also reduced, lowering the max hit of the heavy ballista.
