Crossbow


 * For the weapon in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized and Call of Duty: Black Ops (DS), see Explosive Tip Crossbow.

The Crossbow is a modern compound Crossbow that will be featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is a silent, high-powered weapon, and takes up the Secondary slot. Although it uses bolts for ammunition, it still fires hitscans instead of actual projectiles.

Campaign
The Crossbow is known to appear in the mission "WMD," which is set in the Ural Mountains, 1968. The crossbow can fire different types of bolts, such as normal or explosive bolts. It can attach a sniper scope, which the player can steady ; it can also zoom in further. It is currently unknown if the Crossbow will appear in other missions. It has fairly high hip accuracy.However, sources have said that a regular bolt will only kill if shot in head or chest area. For a 1 shot kill anywere on the body, you must use a bolt like the exploding one.

Multiplayer
The Crossbow also appears in multiplayer. Thus far it has only been seen with iron sights and the Explosive Tip attachment. It is a secondary weapon. It is one of the weapons used in the Sticks and Stones Wager Match playlist, along with the Ballistic Knife and Tomahawk. When a player is hit by an Explosive Tipped bolt, the screen flashes red and an indicator comes up in the shape of an arrow with the word "Stuck" on it, indicating the player has been hit with an explosive bolt.

Attachments

 * Explosive Tip
 * Variable Zoom

Trivia

 * The Crossbow was possibly included in Black Ops because Major John Plaster, an actual SOG operator, told Treyarch that one of his squad-mates used a bow and arrow during stealth missions.
 * Judging from the trailer, it is possible to cripple enemies with the Crossbow. (Campaign only)
 * This weapon is almost identical to the Explosive Tip Crossbow in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized.
 * The Crossbow has Arctic Camouflage in "WMD".
 * The Crossbow has three bolts attached underneath but they cannot be used.
 * There is an Achievement/Trophy involving Pack-A-Punched Crossbow bolts in Zombie mode. This confirms the return of the Pack-A-Punch machine and that the Crossbow can be upgraded as well.
