Modern Warfare 2‘s crossbow is certainly not the most meta weapon available in the game, but it’s absolutely one of the most fun primaries to add to your loadout if you choose the right attachments and perks. Now, it does take a bit of effort to even unlock the crossbow, but once you’ve got it, you’ll want to tune it just right to maximize damage and stability, here’s how.
MW2 Crossbow Loadout: Best attachments and perks
The best attachments for MW2’s Crossbow are the following:
- Arms: SO Momenti
- Wire: 28-Strand Cable
- Optic: Cronen Mini Pro or Slimline Pro
- Laser: VLK LZR 7mW
- Bolts: Standard
- Stock: Speedtrak Echo
The SO Momenti and 28-Strand Cable combined will really assist with bolt velocity and overall damage, while the Speedtrak Echo stock allows for faster ADS’ing, which is absolutely a necessity if you want to be ready to shoot faster when you’re competing against bullets.
Take the following perks to maximize your crossbow output in Modern Warfare 2:
- Double Time
- Overkill or Scavenger
- Bonus: Fast Hands
- Ultimate: Quick Fix
You’ll want to be as quick and mobile as possible with the crossbow, so Double Time and Fast Hands are your best friends here, with Quick Fix taken as an ultimate perk for added healing and overall survivability.
Don’t worry if you still haven’t unlocked the crossbow yet either, there’s a double XP weekend coming very soon.
