Warzone Crossbow Buff: Now Delivers One-Shot Headshots

Call of Duty: Warzone Season 6 update has introduced a significant change to the Crossbow, transforming it into a one-shot headshot kill weapon. While this adjustment may seem minor in the patch notes, its impact is substantial enough to establish a new meta with the Crossbow appearing in nearly every loadout. Previously, the Crossbow held a place in the game’s meta but was often overshadowed by newer sniper rifles and superior long-range options.

Though the Crossbow provides a unique and enjoyable gameplay experience, it has certain limitations that may put players at a disadvantage during engagements. As a stealth weapon, it can be used across various game modes without disclosing one’s position, but it only fires one arrow at a time. However, the recent buff could potentially offset these drawbacks.

This article will focus on the new Crossbow enhancements introduced in Warzone Season 6.

Warzone Season 6 Features Powerful One-Shot Crossbow Builds with New Buffs

The official Warzone Season 6 patch notes detailed the following buffs for the Crossbow:

• Bolt Velocity increased from 110 m/s to 200 m/s.
• Gravity influence reduced by 70%.
• Aim Down Sight (ADS) spread has been eliminated for Brightblaze 20″ Bolts, Blastcap 20″ Bolts, and FTAC Caustic 20″ Bolts.

The first enhancement simplifies long-range engagements, allowing players to hit targets with improved accuracy. The reduction in gravity influence results in less bullet drop for arrows, enabling users to enjoy heightened precision, making the Crossbow particularly effective in medium-range confrontations.

To maximize the potential of the Crossbow in Warzone Season 6, consider the following build:

• Underbarrel: DR-6 Underbarrel
• Ammunition: Brightblaze 20″ Bolts
• Arms: SO Moments
• Wire: 28-Strand Cable
• Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x

The DR-6 Handstop Underbarrel, when paired with the SO Momenti, enhances bolt velocity and ADS speed while also improving overall movement speed, which is essential for a weapon requiring a lengthy reload for each shot.

Additionally, the 28-Strand Cable further increases bolt velocity. The Corio Eagleseye 2.5x optic can be customized based on player preference, but it works effectively for both long and medium-range scenarios.

The Season 6 buff enhances the Crossbow’s versatility, enabling players to utilize it with either explosive or toxic gas arrows. The thermite arrows can be particularly effective for taking down opponents with a single headshot.
