Longbow is part of Warzone’s Legacy weapon pool. In current Warzone, choose its provided preset or an available Blueprint from the Legacy tab. You cannot recreate an old custom Gunsmith setup for it.
Best Longbow loadout in current Warzone
Use the Legacy preset supplied in game. The official Season 1 notes say Legacy weapons are already configured for Warzone and cannot be edited in Gunsmith. There is no verified evidence here that a particular paid Blueprint is stronger, so we do not recommend buying one for a presumed advantage.
How to equip it
- Open Create-a-Class and choose a primary or secondary weapon slot.
- Open the Legacy tab.
- Choose Longbow and equip its available preset or Blueprint.
- If it is locked, check its XP requirement in Armory Unlocks.
What changed
With the November 2026 Season 1 integration, weapons from Modern Warfare II through Black Ops 7 remain available as Legacy weapons. They do not support editable attachments, Modern Warfare 4 mastery camos, reticle challenges, cosmetic Gunsmithing or build sharing.
A multiplayer setup for this weapon belongs to its original game. Do not use an old Warzone attachment guide as an editable current-season build.

Checked: 10 November 2026. Applies to the fixed Legacy weapon system in current Warzone; this is not a claim that the weapon is the strongest choice.
Historical build archive — before 6 November 2026
The original guide below was researched on 30 October 2026. Its attachment choices, rankings, share codes and statistics are historical reference only. They do not describe the fixed preset supplied in current Warzone, and the old custom setup cannot be recreated through its current Gunsmith.
Accuracy is the first thing WZStats praises about the Longbow, a Modern Warfare III sniper. Warzone Season 6 finds it off-meta, ranked #302 by warzoneloadout.games even with a Very Good tier label, and listed under Other by CODMunity. If you want a stronger result from this slot, the KAR98K, MORS or KV Inhibitor are the listed alternatives.

This is WZStats' Recommended Battle Royale build, the only source with this exact set. WZStats last updated it on 2024-01-31, before the 14 October 2026 patch, though the page still badges it up to date for Season 6.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Muzzle | Sonic Suppressor | Muzzle; effect not listed |
| Barrel | PRO-99 LONG BARREL | Barrel; effect not listed |
| Laser | FSS OLE-V Laser | Laser; effect not listed |
| Ammunition | 7.62X39MM HIGH GRAIN ROUNDS | Ammunition; effect not listed |
| Bolt | SA-M Quickbolt | Bolt; effect not listed |
| Perks | Scavenger, Sprinter, Adaptive | WZStats: Downed enemies drop ammo, equipment and plates; Lets you reload during tactical sprint and eases movement penalties; Better explosive defense, movement and handling |
| Equipment | Heartbeat sensor, Frag | WZStats: Limited-use tablet that shows rough enemy positions nearby; Cookable grenade |
| Secondary | SVA 545 | WZStats' top pairing; next are DTIR 30-06 and MTZ-556 |
Why this build works
Numbers are scarce because this WZStats Recommended build has no published TTK, velocity or ADS table. The pros are accuracy and high fire rate, and the con is slow TTK. Its single logged patch, 2/7/2024, reduced min damage from 75 to 73 and cut ADS time from 550ms to 520ms. None of its five attachments have listed effects.
How to play it
Rely on accurate repeated shots, since slow TTK means one hit rarely decides the fight. Expect to lose to higher-damage snipers if you trade shots evenly. WZStats' loadout here runs Scavenger, Sprinter and Adaptive, along with a Heartbeat sensor and Frag. An SVA 545, DTIR 30-06 or MTZ-556 is the listed pairing.
Unlock notes
The sources list these requirements for the main build: SA-M Quickbolt: Level 18.
