Best Modern Warfare 2 Crossbow attachments

The Modern Warfare 2 gunsmith contains a huge range of attachments that allow you to customise the Crossbow in numerous ways. Here's the very best combination to use for the remainder of Season 6:

  • Arms: SO Momenti
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7mW
  • Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
  • Bolts: Brightblade 20" Bolts
  • Wire: 28-Strand Cable

The SO Momenti barrel provides all of the damage increases to the Crossbow, making it much easier to make an impact at longer distances. To maintain stability when firing, the FTAC Ripper 56 is a perfect choice.
