Every once in a while a weapon reaches the super meta-level in Call of Duty: Warzone and you can easily tell which after you encounter so many enemies utilizing the gun in the same lobby. This time, it’s the Crossbow from MW2 in the Black Ops 6 Warzone and while it’s so much fun to stick an arrow to the target and watch them go boom, it’s also pissing off a lot of players. But you can easily counter this, did you know that?
How To Counter An Explosive Crossbow Shot In Warzone
The only way the enemy players can one-tap you with a Crossbow is by explosive rounds, and there’s a trick to survive explosions in Warzone. The red perk Bomb Squad helps you take much less damage from explosives such as grenades and the meta Crossbow shot in Warzone. The perk also gives you a neat ability to hack the enemy equipment.
Now there are a few good options in the red category of perks like the Quick Fix, which is probably why some players won’t just go for the Bomb Squad. However, Crossbow is getting more popular these days, so it’s better to stay alive than refill your armor single-handedly.
Best Crossbow Loadout
Now that you know how to fight those Warzone demons online, you might want to give them a taste of their own medicine, right? Or maybe you’re just curious about the meta Crossbow build that everyone’s using in Warzone these days. Here it is:
- Bolt: Blastcap 20″ Bolt
- Arms: SO Momenti
- Wire: 28-Strand Cable
- Underbarrel: XRK Bobreaker Grip
- Optic: SP-X 80 6.6x
Blastcap 20″ Bolt is the explosive arrow that makes Crossbow the meta weapon as it is in Warzone right now. However, this messes with the bullet velocity by a lot, meaning that you’ll need to aim way above the target to land a hit.
The best we can do for the bullet velocity penalties is picking the SO Momenti arms and 28-Strand Cable wire to increase that. The XRK Bobreaker Grip underbarrel is here to give you some aiming idle sway support and overall accuracy, while in the end, you might need to add your favorite optic for more precision.
