Crossbow - Black Ops 2 Weapon Guide

[@joshb7227]

Manufacturer "ancient man" lol

[@z-trip5457]

xD

[@vyke2107]

Even funnier is that it isn’t ancient. As he says in the video, it only really arrived in the Middle Ages. How’s were the ancient crossbows. I guess time really does seem to blend together.

[@Wiiranger87]

The one thing that baffles me is the fact that there is no "normal arrow" attachment, this could have a be an awesome long range silence weapon like in the Black Ops campaign. Such a letdown that in black ops 2 they loss the opportunity.

[@javiktheprothean1469]

I share your pain

[@ianthomo33]

In the campaign I tried to unlock the 2 crossbows thinking one was explosive and the other normal arrow they were both explosive such a troll

[@xskatewarriorkidx]

That would be really cool to have, the closest thing we have is using tribolt and getting direct impact kills

[@weakestlink20]

Wiiranger87 While it'd be cool, it probably wouldn't make the Crossbow practical in any case. It'd be just a Battlefield Sniper Rifle that kills anywhere to the body, and gives no indication on radar. It'd be hell on wheels for less accurate players.

[@british35]

@@weakestlink20That and most snipers would see no advantage to equipping this and denying any chance of a reliable mid-to-close range secondary instead of just spending a point on a suppressor

[@kloost3730]

He got a quad feed with greanads

[@big_sea]

swag

[@longdongbongchong]

Another thing, I don't think that Flak Jacket is a good perk to run here. It doesnt protect you from your own explosives, and since the crossbow is for longer range, I don't see its use.

[@Europium]

5:30 dat quad feed doe

[@mchandler2112]

"Manufacturer: Ancient Man" Thanks.

[@JahovasFitness]

Getting a bloodthirsty with this thing is so damn hard I almost cried a couple of times. It ain't easy at all. Lot of luck needed, even in sticks and stones.

[@paullawrence4397]

I got the bloodthirsty in sticks and stones but I can't get skulls or it would be diamond

[@JahovasFitness]

I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand what you're saying with the way you worded your sentence. Not trying to be insulting, but I just don't get what you're getting at.

[@paullawrence4397]

Basically I got the bloodthirsty but I reloaded in the middle of the streak

[@weakestlink20]

Jake Holland You should probably stick to Tri Bolt, and keep getting Scavenger packs. Even though it's nowhere near as efficient, multi-kills can be possible if playing objective game modes like Demolition or Hardpoint. Rely on your teammates to force the scavenger packs to drop.

[@DaxCorsiar]

2:25 oh I see you sniper... trying to do a 360 no scope. >o>

[@BenSelleyP]

Dax Corsiar lol

[@BabyKobeeee]

Actually you can survive a stick from the explosive arrow. If you jump into a wall the game thinks the arrow is in the wall and there's a limited Chance you'll survive

[@davecrupel2817]

I never knew that.... Probably wouldnt get time to do it anyways. S:

[@infraredplayer]

I am amazing with the crossbow at any range but aiming at a moving target who's running left or right is difficult. I recommend using Tri-bolt if you're going against opponents with shields. I also highly recommend the Dual Band attachment for it is amazing. I have many spots you can cover with the Crossbow Dual Band at the beginning of games. The little down lines on the Dual Band I call ventricles ( I don't know why) The Highest is the 1st going to the last one on the bottom which is 3. In Yemen you can use the third ventricle at the sniping spot which over looks the other side at the map or the stairs where you first spawn on your right looking back at the spot, it will hit every time. In Express you can stand by the stairs or the sniping spot in the hallways above the train which overlooks the other sniping spot to right or left depending on where you spawn and get them with the third ventricle depending where they are (stairs or sniping spot) In Standoff the sniping spot which over looks the other building you use the third ventricles and the second when there's enemies at the bottom of the other sniping spot. In Hijacked the sniping spots in the middle you use the first ventricle applying to nuketown as well. In Raid, the sniping spots by the pool (window) and the basketball court( the large frame next to the money room outside that the other sniping spot overlooks) you use the second ventricle. I have other and I can show you GT: Infrared NRG

[@AlchemistOfNirnroot]

Nope. all you need to do is stick their shield and they'll die.

[@infraredplayer]

AlchemistOfNirnroot You'll miss or die it's not easy as it sounds. Trust me.

[@AlchemistOfNirnroot]

NRG Player If you can't hit a massive assault shield just stop playing FPSs...

[@infraredplayer]

AlchemistOfNirnroot It's not as easy as you think it is in Black Ops 2. Their shield is not that big and could automatically switch to C4 or Executioner. They also move around too much and it's difficult to get a kill. I can hit it you fucking idiot but it;s fucking hard when they're moving or switching every 2 fucking seconds I like to see you try.

[@AlchemistOfNirnroot]

NRG Player Use Flak Jacket... Tactical Mask etc etc etc.

[@thefez-cat]

Call of Duty logic: the tiny click of this crossbow firing isn't a stealth weapon, but a 146dB suppressed pistol shot is.

[@DungeonTracks]

I always have trouble making builds without Scavenger, it's just such a fun perk - especially in BO2.

[@321MXM]

I've watch alot of you XboxAhoy· but not really you weapon guides simply because i was to lazy to follow it. but now watching your weapon guide it honestly surpasses alot of the other weapon guides on KZbin. I mean not only do you provide an greatly detailed breakdown of the gun you also create a class that actual compliments both player and gun. make it actual efficient. after watching the break down XboxAhoy· your deffenitly going to be my got to weapon guide. Continue the good work! ~MxM

thays completely true! im not british but i love them!

[@usernamedkjahstill5003]

I absolutely love this crossbow. Especially playing on Hardcore you shoot the target and then it explodes getting rid of all the other collateral enemies. But even playing on standard was also hilarious because we could see one of your teammates being swamped by enemies fire one of those into his back and then he become a detonating problem!

[@dillonc7955]

Getting all of the camos with the crossbow is quite the challenge. For getting a triple kill with this thing, you'd have to be beyond lucky to find 3 enemies standing next to each other.

[@dankydont]

Nowadays, a glitch has plagued this weapon when going for car kills. If you're trying to get gold for it now, it won't work. Any car kill doesn't count towards your camouflage challenge.

[@harryevans4994]

4:30 i love how he used the flashbang as a transitional element

[@LO-zr6he]

ooh dat triple kill in the begining

[@Zoraxon]

I love the crossbow, nobody else I play with really appreciates it. also, ballistics calculations.

[@sniperheroes3082]

It actually took Activision seven years from BO2 to implement ballistic calculations to every weapon, while EA's Battlefield had already done that by 2012.

I hate quickscopers I'm sorry but they're overpowered. Time-to-kill is instantaneous, and they're deadly at any range.

[@texychick]

Not just anyone can quick scope accurately, you need skill

[@0IIIIII]

Sherlock Holmes What's important is that it's unbalanced and overpowered, and that not everyone wants to quickscope, or play with quickscopers.

[@beefalo7589]

+0IIIIII Nah, the slow mo hack is more annoying.

[@0IIIIII]

I like Wolves and Bears Maybe, but I still do not like quickscopers. In Black Ops they were able to get rid of it somehow, I think due to changes with sniping and aiming mechanics. I don't think they should completely remove quickscoping, because it is cool, and I get that at least some people really like it, but can they at least nerf it, or remove it from every other series, or something?

[@beefalo7589]

0IIIIII You are amazing. That's literally what I feel. Most people say that quickscoping should be completely removed, but they should still be in the game. Just make it more challenging. Again,I agree with you completely.

The earliest archaeological evidence that I'm aware of comes from the 7th century BCE, China.

[@Lionclaw]

I finally finished it today. I tried every game mode I could think of, and the one that got the job done was hardcore kill confirmed. The game goes to 100 giving you more time when you die the first few times. The class is Tribolt as the attachment (the only way to get consistent hits and they die on impact, no waiting for the explosion), lightweight, ghost, scavenger, and dexterity with a concussion. It took me a few days of trying it on and off, but when you get it, you'll be jumping for joy.

[@sethpace88]

Yes, I totally agree with you. I don't know why people can't say something like "Nice game guys!" or anything positive really. It would make the game much more fun in my opinion. I personally think there is no need to yell or be rude if someone lost in a match; losing in a match is not a big deal, it's part of the game and it's going to happen.

[@DaUtubaA]

I feel this whole situation has been blown out of proportion.

[@Jafly707]

Firstly I love your voice (its the best in all of KZbin land) and secondly I would like to know whether your voice was always so low or if it just dramatically changed during your voice breaking. Thank you in advance :)

[@L3ONLINEz]

Great clips this week Stu

[@KGODSMACKC]

Ive noticed that the ranger drop reticule on the ACOG scope seems to work quite well with the crossbow... since it fires on a parabolic trajectory.. you can use the notches under the main sight to accurately place your shots if you're trying to fire from longer ranges..

[@greenhawk655]

Your Videos are the best! Keep up the great work!

[@MrFanBoyDee]

Holy crap man. That bloodthirsty took me DAYS. Litterally

[@simonriley983]

How do you aim SO GOOD ... If there's an enemy so far that they are a pixel on a screen you can literally pin point you're sights exactly on them very quick!!!

[@Arek_1]

In headshotz2weak's minor defense, when the video starts it goes from 9:11 to 9:10. If it's playing an ad at the beginning, it stays at 9:11 until the video starts. Headshotz2weak probably had an ad, noticed the duration of the video, disregarded the content of the video, and chose to post his off topic comment.

[@noodlesthe1st]

a assault shield actually goes well with a crossbow because you can plant it and aim at them through the shield and pop up and shoot.

[@osokTHEelegy]

That long shot at the end... WOW that was some stick

[@inthefurnace]

I had thought of a weird idea that might never exist. It's an LMG-pistol hybrid with the ammo clipped through it. 40 rounds in the mag, shooting about the same as MK48. Sounds crazy, but it would be cool.

[@vizzy61]

could you elaborate? i can't understand what you're getting at. can't say i'd blame you if you've forgotten, however.

[@inthefurnace]

@@vizzy61 lol I totally forgot about this, haven’t even played CoD or watched this guy’s videos in several years. imagine the rotating magazine of an LMG going through a heavy pistol. It’s impractical, I just thought it would be cool in a game to have a gun with the lighter weight of a pistol with the larger magazine of an LMG. I think that’s what I was getting at 😂 thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[@omegaxtrigun]

Unless a stuck bolt is special or flak jacket changed in the few weeks since I played the game, flak jacket doesn't protect you from your own explosives. So it won't help you survive someone trying to kill you with your own stick.

[@venomss95]

Played hardcore to get this gold, if you get a stick in hardcore they die from the impact and still drop scavenger packs so as long as you can stick them you will always have ammo, the tri bolt attachment works well for this to ensure that you get a stick

[@vladasviciunas3189]

that semtex quad was nasty!!!!

[@Retroflecks]

He goes from the one at a time in each category, AR, SMG,LMG,SR,SG then pistols at random. Sometimes it's random, though. hope that clears things up.

[@SNoScreamer]

For the BT medals I did: use the crossbow (dont use tribolt) and stuck some enemies. Once you've depleted the mag knife an enemy so he drops the scavenger pack. The BT challenges are given to you with 5kills with the weapon in the same life, not using only (yeah it is said there) the weapon. Give it a try

@115stfx21 The crossbow doesn't work off of hit detection, it fires an actual bolt, but you got that right, it has terrible splash.

[@neville5555]

I recommand to use dexterity perk instead of a secondary concussion grenade. It´s very useful to aim faster. And because you got scavenger, you'll have all the concussion grenade you want. Cheers.

[@joshuawaddell4484]

I have my crossbow diamond and I have found that the easiest way to compete the bloodthirsty challenge is to play hardcore tdm or hardcore domination and use scavenger. no matter what, if you get a stick the impact will kill them and you will always be able to get more ammo and just play it safe, "camp" if you have to but just don't rush with it. play defensively this way and you'll get it eventually

[@fac3book345]

[@MrTubbyTony]

this guy could narrate paint drying and I would still watch

[@Lieutenant_Dude]

I'd honestly say you'd be better off going for a Primary like an SMG instead of 2 concussion grenades. That way you can fall back on the SMG when you're out of ammo and use the bullet kills to activate scavenger packs, pick them up, and then switch back to crossbowing.

+FallaciousScotsman With the two concussions, it can help get a knife kill and pick up their weapon, needing not spend a point on a primary weapon, and not sacrifice valuable concussion grenades, which can help get kills.

[@longdongbongchong]

I agree, and you only need to give up 1 concussion grenade. You can still use the other one and replenish it. For a naked SMG, I'm going with the MP7 or PDW.

[@Rhockaby]

I've noticed how in many of your "long-range videos" like this one, the LMG:s and some snipers you recommend a cautious longer-ranged playstyle. However, sometimes most if not all the footage you show us is of fast-paced in-your-face play. I understand that this might be more interesting to watch for some, but I personally don't watch these vids for action. Also, great pun.
