The Crossbow is the latest addition to the game’s secondary weapons which can be obtained in the same way we got the Shorty not too long ago. It’s a silent yet deadly weapon with extremely high hip-fire accuracy and three different types of arrows. The Crossbow is a brand new addition to the game’s secondary armory and was recently added in COD Mobile during the seventh season of the game – “Elite of the Elite”.
About Crossbow weapon in COD Mobile
The Crossbow deals damage in two different ways. The first is the bolt itself. The Crossbow bolt on its own will deal fifty damage at any range if it hits a player directly. This is a two-hit kill in Core game types. The bolt hitting the enemy will almost never kill the enemy outright, but it can kill a moderately wounded opponent. In Hardcore game types, a direct hit will instantly kill a player.

The second is the explosion. The bolt will explode after a brief moment. If a player that has been struck by a crossbow bolt has not died from the initial stick, then the explosion will kill them instantly, regardless of whether or not the victim is wearing a Flak Jacket. Otherwise, the Crossbow does anywhere from 200 to 75 damage in a four-meter radius.
