The recommended attachments for the Crossbow in MW3 Zombies are as follows:

  • Arms: SO Momenti Arms
  • Bolts: Brightblaze 20" Bolts
  • Wire: 28-Strand Cable Wire
  • Stock: FT Dart CB Stock

The SO Momenti Arms will significantly improve bolt velocity and damage range. Its primary goal is to help push out bolts downrange faster, and this is the best attachment to do so.

The Brightblaze 20" Bolts have a thermite tip, that sets ablaze upon impact against any surface. They are ideal for combatting zombies and setting any incoming horde on fire. They have the potential to crowd control, allowing you to have great efficacy with the weapon serving as your primary.

The 28-Strand Cable Wire is a heavy cable that will allow you to significantly increase bolt velocity. Your accuracy will see a slight downgrade on putting this attachment, however, the increased velocity will allow for more responsive trigger release times.

The FT Dart CB Stock will also further accentuate the weapon's effective damage range and improve its bolt velocity.

How to unlock Crossbow in MW3 Zombies

This weapon can be exclusively found in Mercenary Camps in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies. These are located in Tier-3 Zones, so be careful when you set the objective of getting your hands on one.

You can also find the weapon in certain Mercenary and Infested strongholds, but the spawn rate is random. Furthermore, you must successfully exfil with the weapon to unlock it in your arsenal.

You can pair this menacing ranged weapon with an Assault Rifle, such as the M16, for best results. The drawback to having the Crossbow is its low ammo count, and with a supplementary rifle in your hands, this should no longer be a concern.
