Short range chars have hard time against native crossbowmen

You can't really close the distance to these natives and they have beyond visual range. It would be good to limit characters on that map to not use beyond visual range[same rules as for player char].

If you're not playing on the experimental version, you can hide behind a force field and lure them out.

The plasma turret pillar provides cover from them. They'll come closer to get line of sight, unless they're targeting allies.

Crafting a tactical vest with a nanocomposite vest can be a good way to mitigate their Aimed Shot damage.

If you can't evade/tank the hits then you can just lure them to you. If you break LoS with them they'll try to move into a position where they can see you, which is often times right in front of you.
