The Call of Duty franchise is no stranger to adding weapons that don't necessarily fire bullets into the arsenal. In the case of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, there are a handful of weapons that fit the criteria. If you're here, you're probably wondering how to unlock the Crossbow in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 so you can use it in multiplayer and the battle royale.
Armed with lethal 20" bolts, the Crossbow packs a lethal punch and has a high chance of appearing in the loadouts of players for the duration of Season Two thanks to its unique nature. However, its unlock method is slightly different from other weapons in the arsenal.

Unlike the KV Broadside and the ISO Hemlock, the Crossbow doesn't feature in the Season Two battle pass meaning the unlock method is different to the other new arrivals.
The Crossbow is one of several rewards you can earn by participating in the Path of the Ronin event launching alongside the start of the new season.
To unlock the weapon, all you need to do is complete all seven challenges. Once the event has come to an end, simply score 50 longshot kills in multiplayer or the battle royale.
