Explosive Tip Crossbow


 * For the weapon in Call of Duty: Black Ops, see Crossbow.

The Explosive Tip Crossbow is a weapon in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized. It is essentially a scoped crossbow loaded with arrows tipped with an explosive (hence the name), which explodes on impact. It is found on multiple levels hidden in one of the areas where the hidden collectible is. It is only necessary to use this weapon in the level "Closing In", to take out a machine gun emplacement, but it is possible to kill the gunner using first a flashbang and then any other weapon at your disposal. However, this weapon has a large blast radius, allowing the player to take out groups of enemies at once without even aiming. It also has an unlimited range. Its ammunition is only 10 shots, making it useful for a short time, and with only 1 shot per round. The Crossbow also has no scope sway.
