Warzone Season 6 update brought a hefty new change to the Crossbow which made it a single headshot kill weapon. While the change might not seem like much in the official notes, the effects of the buffs are significant enough to pummel a brand-new meta into the game with the silent arrow shooter in every loadout. The bow previously occupied a meta-position in the game but got overshadowed by newer snipers and better long-range alternatives.
The Crossbow is a fun weapon to use but has some limitations that can place players in disadvantageous situations during gunfights. It is a stealth weapon that can be used in any game mode without revealing one’s position but can only shoot one arrow at a time. However, the latest buff might compensate for all its shortcomings.
This article will highlight the new Warzone Season 6 buff for the Crossbow.

Warzone Season 6 introduces one-shot Crossbow builds with new buff
The official Warzone Season 6 patch notes listed the following Crossbow buffs:
- Bolt Velocity increased from 110 m/s to 200 m/s.
- Gravity influence decreased by 70%.
- Aim Down Sight (ADS) spread was removed for Brightblaze 20” Bolts, Blastcap 20” Bolts, and FTAC Caustic 20” Bolts.

The first change makes long-distance gunfights easier and allows players to land shots with increased accuracy. Combined with the decreased gravity influence, the arrows have a lesser bullet drop. This enables fans to enjoy higher precision and makes the Crossbow very effective in medium-range fights.
Here is a Crossbow build that you can utilize to make the most out of it in Warzone Season 6:
- Underbarrel: DR-6 Underbarrel
- Ammunition: Brightblaze 20” Bolts
- Arms: SO Momenti
- Wire: 28-Strand Cable
- Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
The DR-6 Handstop Underbarrel can be paired with the SO Momenti to increase bolt velocity and ADS speed alongside overall movement speed. These are crucial upgrades for a weapon that can shoot only one arrow at a time and then needs to go through a long reload animation.

The 28 Strand Cable is another attachment that boosts bolt velocity. The Corio Eagleseye 2.5x optic can be swapped out for anything else based on personal preference. However, the Eagleseye is the way to go for both long and medium-range combat scenarios.
The Crossbow buff in Season 6 makes it a formidable weapon that can be used with either the explosive or the toxic gas arrows as well. The thermite arrows are effective when you wish to knock down opponents with a single headshot.
That is everything you need to know about the one-shot Crossbow buff in Warzone Season 6. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more updates, guides, and news.
