How to unlock new Crossbow in Modern Warfare \u2013 challenge & attachments Infinity Ward \/ YouTube – E-RocThe massive v1.13 Modern Warfare update went live on January 22, introducing the new Crossbow weapon that players can unlock for free by completing an in-game challenge. Crossbows have featured in many previous Call of Duty titles, either being available right from the game\u2019s launch or added later down the line as a DLC weapon. The weapon\u2019s viability has varied over the years; some versions of it haven\u2019t been effective while others have been more than good enough, like the one in Black Ops 4, for example, which was so overpowered that Treyarch had to nerf it a few times. After it was leaked months earlier, the Crossbow was finally added to Modern Warfare on January 22, as part of the v1.13 update, one of the largest patches in recent weeks. Read More: Modern Warfare v1.13 update patch notes – \u201cSilent and agile, this high-performance crossbow fires 20.0\u2033 bolts with exceptional lethality,\u201d reads the in-game description. \u201cExclusive customization, distinct functionality, and unique ammunition types put this weapon in a class of its own. Standard 20.0\u2033 bolts are recoverable and are undetectable by trophy systems.\u201d Modern Warfare Crossbow gameplay footage Courtesy of Doom Clan YouTuber mason here is some in-game footage of the Crossbow in action on Shipment, also featuring the new Capture The Flag mode, which was added via the same update. How to unlock Crossbow via in-game challenge The Crossbow is, of course, free to players on all three platforms \u2013 PS4, Xbox One, and PC \u2013 since Modern Warfare does not feature a loot box system or purchasable DLC. That said, there is still some work you need to put in before you can get your hands on this new weapon. In order to unlock it, a new specific in-game challenge must be completed: you must create a loadout with a Marksman Rifle that\u2019s equipped with a Reflex Optic sight and get five kills in 25 different matches. There are currently three Marksman Rifles that can be used to fulfill this objective: EBR-14, Kar98k, and MK2 Carbine. All three are good enough to get five kills in 25 matches, but the latter two are probably more viable than the EBR-14. All Crossbow attachments in Gunsmith Like every other gun, the Crossbow can be heavily customized with attachments using the in-game Gunsmith feature. There are eight total categories of attachments that this weapon supports: Cable (normally Muzzle) – Arms (normally Barrel) – Laser – Optic – Stock – Underbarrel – Bolt (normally Ammunition) – Perk – As always, when using the Gunsmith, you can check out each attachment individually for their description, effect on the weapon\u2019s stats, and pros\/cons. For your convenience, we\u2019ve included a video detailing all of the below, courtesy of YouTuber E-Roc. Since the Crossbow was just released, the jury is still out on whether it\u2019s going to be powerful enough to use consistently or not up to the standards of most other weapons. Judging by some early gameplay footage, it does appear to be a very slow-paced weapon, since a new bolt has to be loaded in after each shot. However, those who have good aim will likely find the gun enjoyable, and some of the attachments could make it a lot more viable. Furthermore, there is always the option of equipping Overkill using the Crossbow alongside another primary weapon, maybe an SMG or close-range assault rifle. That way you won\u2019t have to overly rely on the long-range weapon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
