The Juggernaut exosuit is arguably the most feared killstreak in the multiplayer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. However, this colossus stands no chance against the new crossbow. Many find this unfair. What do you think?
About this weapon: Recently, a new weapon was introduced with the Modern Warfare Update 1.13 – the crossbow. This can be unlocked through an in-game challenge and then equipped as a primary weapon.
Moreover, the new crossbow can be modified in various ways – for example, with different bolts. Options include regular, poison, or explosive bolts.

This is currently being discussed: The weapon has so far been well received by many players, but is already partly considered OP (overpowered), meaning it is too powerful. There is lively debate about this in the community.
Additionally, a video from Reddit user Ricardo029 is currently generating more discussion. In this clip, a crossbow player takes on a Juggernaut, and the result seems unfair to many players.
By the way: The Juggernaut is a heavily armored exosuit equipped with a deadly minigun. This suit is the hardest to obtain and arguably the most feared killstreak in all of Modern Warfare. You can only acquire it by achieving 15 kills or more in a row.
This is how the crossbow performs against Juggernaut: In short: Fighting against a Juggernaut is usually incredibly difficult, especially with regular weapons. When such a colossus is on the map, most players must either hide or die.
With the crossbow, this powerful suit becomes an absolute joke. Because the crossbow only needs one explosive bolt to take down this behemoth. Then the Juggernaut is history, as seen in the video here:
What the players are saying: One would generally expect more from the most powerful and hardest to obtain killstreak, or in this case, less from the crossbow – that’s the consensus. Many find this weapon far too overpowering in this context.
Because the crossbow can nullify an impressive performance of 15 consecutive kills in fractions of a second with just one shot. This is simply not fair to the players who have worked hard for the heavy killstreak, nor proportionate.
Many therefore believe it is only a matter of time before the crossbow gets nerfed in some way. However, there are currently no official plans for that.
Until then, the rule is: Do you want to ruin a Juggernaut’s day? Then pack a crossbow with an explosive fury bolt.
Have you unlocked this new weapon yet? What have been your experiences so far? Do you think the crossbow is too strong? Or is it just right? By the way, armored Juggernauts have now become one of the endangered killstreaks in Modern Warfare since the introduction of the crossbow:
