The ever-evolving dungeon crawler Dark and Darker continues to challenge players with brutal PvPvE action and scarce, powerful loot. Among the most sought-after gear is the Unique Crossbow, a rare weapon that offers unparalleled power for Rangers and crossbow-wielding builds. This guide breaks down exactly how to get the Unique Crossbow in Dark and Darker, including where to find it, how to increase your chances of getting it to drop, and tips for surviving the dungeon long enough to Dark And Darker Gold extract with your prize.

Where Can You Find the Unique Crossbow?

There are currently three main ways to obtain the Unique Crossbow in Dark and Darker:

1. High-Roller Dungeons (HR Goblin Caves, Ruins, Crypts, Inferno)

The most consistent way to farm Unique items is by entering High-Roller (HR) versions of dungeons. These are more dangerous than normal variants, featuring stronger mobs, more PvP encounters, but also a dramatically increased loot table.

Recommended Dungeon for Farming:

High-Roller Inferno has the highest drop rate of Unique and Legendary weapons.

HR Goblin Caves are also viable if you're running solo and skilled at stealth kills and extraction.

Best PvE Targets:

Wraith Bosses

Lich Boss

Demon Centaur (Inferno only)

Mini-Boss Rooms with elite mobs and high-value chests

Chest Types to Prioritize:

Golden Chests

Lion's Head Chests

Mimic Chests

Royal Coffins

Warlord's Cache (very rare, HR-only)

These chest types can drop Unique and Legendary weapons. Opening them increases your odds significantly, but you'll also be competing with other players who know their value.

2. Boss Drops (Lich, Ghost King, Demon Centaur)

Bosses have a chance to drop Unique weapons, and the drop table scales with difficulty:

Lich Boss (Crypts): Can drop unique weapons and high-tier magical loot. Fairly common in group dungeon runs.

Ghost King: Tough boss but great loot. Better in team compositions with heals.

Demon Centaur (Inferno only): Highest chance to drop Uniques, but also the hardest boss. Often guarded by PvP campers.

Note: Boss loot is shared and distributed based on who loots the corpse, so be quick and coordinate with friends.

3. Crafting and Trading (Market Board)

If RNG isn't going your way, you can trade for the Unique Crossbow or craft one using Soul Hearts and Dark Gold Coins:

Trade via Merchants or Players:

Use the Trading Post or in-game vendors to find pre-owned Unique Crossbows.

Expect to pay a hefty price—upwards of 500 to 1000+ Gold or even real-money token equivalents.

Crafting (Coming Soon / Limited Events):

During special events (e. g. , Halloween, Lunar Fest), crafting Unique-tier gear may become temporarily available.

These recipes usually require:

Rare materials like Soul Hearts

Demon Horns or Lich Runes

Gold and/or Mystic Shards

Crafting guarantees you get the Unique item, but affixes will still be randomized.

PvP Tips While Farming Unique Loot

When going after the Unique Crossbow, expect other players to be gunning for the same chests and bosses. Here's how to keep your loot safe:

Use Audio Cues: Listen for other players triggering traps, looting, or fighting mobs.

Shut Doors Behind You: It creates sound barriers and forces players to reveal themselves.

Trap High-Value Rooms: Drop traps around Golden Chests before looting to dark and darker gold chest catch unsuspecting players.

Keep Escape Items Ready: Always bring at least 1 Blue Portal item or Invisibility Potion for emergencies.
