Although it’s not usually everyones first pick, the Crossbow can be built to be pretty formidable.
Below we’ve gathered the best Crossbow loadout to speed up the weapon and utilise its underdog status.
Why use the Crossbow in MW3?

For best results, the Crossbow should be used in close to mid-range combat.
The ADS penalty can at least be partially mitigated though with theFORGE TAC SpeedtrakStock.
The 1MW Quick Fire Laseris a great way to improve ADS speed and doesn’t have any major drawbacks.

TheBlastcap Boltsare where the build shines through.
These bolts deliver a timed explosive, making the accuracy issues of the Crossbow obsolete.
If you miss a headshot, the after explosion will usually finish off the job.
Combine this with aThermobaric Grenadeas your Lethal option and you’ll have a stellar combination.
We recommend using theCommando Gloveswhich allow reload while sprinting.
Anything to help increase the reload time of the Crossbow will be beneficial.
TheStalker Bootsare a must for this Crossbow build.
Pair this with theGhost T/V Camogearitem to block detection by UAVS, enemy radar and heartbeat sensors.
That rounds off our guide to the best Crossbow build in Modern Warfare 3.
