The in-game synopsis for the CB-9 Exploding Crossbow is impressive.

''Fires powerful exploding bolts which do maximum damage upon direct impact. gravity must be accounted for when aiming.''

After obtaining this weapon, there will be some things you need to pay attention to. For instance, this toy, which shoots exploding arrows at the enemy, has a shorter range compared to other primary weapons in warbond, which may not be suitable for players who prefer long-range.

Likewise, it doesn't have a massive magazine like other primary weapons, meaning you only have five shots to take down the opponent, after which you must reload.

Just like with explosive weapons, you must be careful when shooting, never allowing the bullet or arrow to fall near you. Otherwise, you may unintentionally blow up along with your target.

For reference, the CB-9 Exploding Crossbow's Stats are as follows:

• Damage: 150
• Capacity: 005
• Recoil: 035
• Fire Rate: 050

Many players who tried the weapon early on enjoyed it, but were let down when they found it ineffective against armored foes. They also claimed that the explosive bolts the gun shoots lack the power to take out bug nests or automaton fabricators. Despite falling short of expectations, it's still considered a pretty cool firearm.
