Those who think of one-shot weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone will quickly think of sniper weapons. However, after a buff in Season 4, another weapon is creeping into the hearts of one-shot fans – the old crossbow from Modern Warfare 2019.
What’s wrong with the crossbow? It’s not easy being a crossbow in Call of Duty. Everyone just wants to run around with their firearms, relying on high rates of fire and no one pays attention to the old, reliable technique of a crossbow.
But in the current Season 4, traditional weapons are striking back. Especially the crossbow from Modern Warfare will no longer tolerate the ignorance of most players and is now a one-shot monster that can bring you a lot of fun – if you can tame the weapon.

Why is the crossbow so strong now? There was a buff at the start of Season 4. As a result, the bolts from the crossbow fly over 25% faster towards their target. Together with attachments, this value gets even stronger.
This makes it significantly easier for you to hit your opponents, and along with the explosive bolts, things really take off. If the hit is on the head, neck, or chest, your opponents go down. Not directly with the first hit, but through the subsequent explosion.
If enemies already lack a bit of armor, the first hit can be deadly. Then the enemies are completely finished off because the explosion ensures that they do not stay on the ground. They will be knocked out of the match.
It takes practice and a certain touch for the somewhat slower bolts. A clip on reddit shows, however, how strong and fun the crossbow can be:
What does a setup look like? Below, we show you a setup for range applications. This way you can use the crossbow similarly to the reddit clip:
- Barrel: XRK Thunder 90 kg
- Sight: VLK 3.0x-Sight
- Stock: FORGE TAC Apex
- Bolts: FTAC Fury 20″ Bolts
- Extra: Dexterity
However, this thing can also be used excellently in close combat. It’s a high risk, as you have only one shot ready. But if the bolt lands, you only need one shot. Build your setup more around ADS speed.
If you’re looking for a deeper analysis of the crossbow, we already published an article over 2 years ago about the nasty one-shot crossbow.
The crossbow is an unconventional niche weapon in Warzone but can bring you a lot of joy and kills once you master it.
