R1 Shadowhunter (Crossbow) Stats & Characteristics! | Cold War Gun Guide #23

[@TheXclusiveAce]

Just a heads up since I don't think I explicitly mentioned it in the video, these stats ONLY apply to Cold War multiplayer and they're very different in Warzone. I'll be covering the Warzone specific stats in relation to the MW Crossbow this weekend.

[@epicgamerzfail4575]

*gasp* mw crossbow review soon

[@ajharmiah2692]

Btw ace, you mentioned that the bow goes slightly above line of sight then goes lower, which was in my case too, but another youtuber said that the red dots are what is causing this, if you only use the iron sight then this doesn’t happen. Iron sights = more accuracy with this weapon.

[@SpankinDaBagel]

@@ajharmiah2692 I've found it to be a problem with the ironsight too, but maybe I'm misremembering.

[@JamesWick99]

Could we get the mw outro for that video please??? I really miss it

@@ajharmiah2692 The zeroing is identical with all optics and the iron sight at 30m.

[@buithuc2848]

The couch arrived in two boxes four days early, which was great because we'd just moved into a new house and needed places to sit. My son and I put it together pretty quickly kzbin.infoUgkxitRzxya-XugamYgLwa_2G1gxPg4MCJHa . Another reviewer suggested inserting the seat into the side and I'm glad they did as the instructions weren't clear on that matter. It's incredibly light and slides easily across the wood floor, making it easy to move. It's firm, but comfortable. It will even be great to nap on. I got the gray, which definitely has strong blue undertones, but I'm okay with that.

[@jjoestar385]

In zombies with the crossbow it’s the only time I think speed cola is more important than any other perk makes it a machine gun

[@ajharmiah2692]

Na the pack a punch makes it a automatic rifle. But speed cola and pack a punch together makes it a death machine. Speed cola alone with no pack makes it only reload a tiny but faster which barely makes a difference.

[@jjoestar385]

@@ajharmiah2692 yeah idk whatbits like with only speed cola but i assume everyone gets pack first because you dont lose it via being downed

[@ajharmiah2692]

@@jjoestar385 yeah, usually i dont pack straight away, i go for perks and weapon upgrades first them pack last, but with this thing its a priority to pack first. Its a very good weapon only after packing, otherwise its one of the worst weapons in zombies imo.

[@dstr001]

This crossbow confuses me. MW showed that its completely possible to have various attachments for it, and theres even a rail mount on the underside where a grip would go. Combined with the 30+ weapon levels for seemingly no reason I can only assume Treyarch just got lazy with it and left it half finished.

[@SpankinDaBagel]

Treyarch has been lazy as hell with gun attachments in this game. No underbarrel launchers or shotguns, no shotgun slugs, no crossbow attachments, etc...

[@veneratedincel]

The reason is, the MW crossbow was a primary, this one is a secondary, and like Ace said, this thing is already pretty strong as is, adding on the ability to put attachments that make it fire faster or have exploding bolts would make this thing op as a secondary

[@bruschetta7711]

Because they were lazy when making CW attachments simpler, they are all the same types and no gun has unique attachments to it They can't add task force barrels and shit because it's a crossbow, and some attachments wouldn't make sense, like a big mag They must break the rule they have with attachments if they want this to be a gun you can lvl up

[@secretlyaslug2325]

Not including even stuff that would be useful on this crossbow is a crime. No scopes of any kind, (not even a 2x) no flashlights for visablity. Nothing for stocks or grips which would change ADS or sprint out or strafe speed. And of course no alternative ammo types. The single laziest weapon addition of all time.

[@snuker650]

You guys are saying treyarch is being lazy because they added a gun that is already really strong with no attachments. But for every other gun they have you guys exact percentages of the gun and exact stats for them. MW stats were always misleading and the stats bar meant nothing. But I dont hear yall saying MW was being lazy with their stats.

[@thephao4327]

[@evanswindells5519]

Ace usually makes any gun look like fun but this looks like an absolute BLAST.

[@Purplepentapus_]

Using the microflex LED with the nightwatch zombies custom dot looks amazing with this thing when you're using the blueprint version, the little notch on the top of the iron sights fits perfectly into the gap on the reticle

[@aslamc9288]

As a meme-weapon connoisseur, I'm sure I'll enjoy the crossbow when I unlock it, but I really wish the trophy system didn't counter it so hard. If you're unlucky enough to get into a higher-skilled lobby, almost everyone is running trophy systems and I'd assume a lot of people run gearhead since it's one of the better perk 2s, so your bolts will constantly be destroyed.

[@adamtheriault6743]

The crossbows for modern warfare and cold war are perfect representations of how much effort was put into either games

[@yourstillwithme]

the most fun gun in the entire game. Love this thing but its super streaky. Sometimes you can BLOW PEOPLE UP and pop off, but sometimes you just get wrecked. Already got it Gold in zombies and multiplayer already. :-) I leveled it up completely and got DA in one game in Zombies. Throw a one hour double xp token on and you are gold.

[@RevolverOcelot94]

i hate it so much that while using scopes the iron sight is not removed

[@vipurz]

oh no hopefully the iron sight doesn’t block the red health bar above the scope 😱

[@supbrahimhammer.421]

I unlocked this thinking it wouldn’t be a serious weapon, but more of a fun, interesting thing to use but I quickly realized that this is the greatest fucking crossbow that I’ve ever used. This is a legit marksman rifle.

[@vicvinegarLLC]

Thank you for not completely giving up on Cold War. 🙏

[@fluffytoaster1827]

This is easily the most broken weapon in multiplayer. As soon as I spot an enemy they are dead with the push of a button. It’s quicker than quickscoping. It’s very satisfying to use, though. Maybe they need to add hip fire spread?

[@brooklynprince8428]

And take away the speed boost

[@Rich-in6ds]

I think it’s good boarding on OP! Up close it’s a skill shotgun and that’s fine. What makes it OP is that the velocity is fast enough and dip slight enough that it can reliably challenge ARs, LMGs and snipers at range. Particularly if they have loaded themselves down with mods that reduce their strafe speed or they’re setup on a head glitch

[@dimitrirogers8725]

i figured out that the Scavenger perk actually works for getting extra bolts (encase you miss a shot)

[@MissMyMusicAddiction]

now we need the warzone discussion

[@insanegamer52]

How do ads speed and sprint to fire time interact? Do their timers/animations start at the same time or do you need to finish the sprint to fire before you can start to ads?

[@TheXclusiveAce]

The times happen simultaneously. If your sprintout time is slower than your ADS time and you break your sprint by aiming down sight, your ADS animation will be slowed to match your sprintout time.

[@jtmgamer]

Considering the lack of attachments for this gun I wish it was more like the crossbow from Black Ops 2 where it had multiple bolts it could fire before needing to be reloaded

[@B_to_the_H]

So basically a one hit kill pump action suppressed shotgun with crazy range and super slow fire rate.

Great vid as always, just when you compare the amount of attachments you could customize the MW crossbow with last year to this year, the CW crossbow is kind of disappointing.

[@RizkyBambangWiratmoko]

even worse, lack of explosive or thermite bolt like MW's crossbow make this one really inferior on Warzone. Using MW's crossbow, you can expect to not only drop people, but eliminate it completely with explosive bolt.

I think you should compare weapons like the crossbow to the same weapon in other games. I.e compare this to the MW crossbow and the BO4 crossbow with stays like one shot area, velocity, and ads, since it’s usually our best comparison. Obviously some values mean different because things change from game to game but it would definitely help a lot more since unless you actually used it, no one know wtf 115m/s is.

[@andreivaldez2929]

115m/s is 115 meters per second, you dunce.

While the crossbow in Multiplayer seems fine, this weapon in zombies is fairly broken. Your accuracy is a mess with any optic attachments, plus the game has a risk of crashing if you use it with the ring of fire class mod. If these issues could be fixed, this weapon will be one of the best weapons for high rounds in zombies.
