Season 5 Reloaded for Black Ops 6 has finally made its debut, bringing with it the latter half of Season 5’s content drops. From the arrival of the Jackpot 6v6 map, the launch of Ransack mode for Multiplayer, and Directed Mode support for Reckoning, there is a solid chunk of new content to dig into.

New modes are always welcome, with Zombies also gaining some variety through the return of Team Cranked. However, one of the standout additions for Season 5 Reloaded is the expansion of loadout armaments, including the debut of a brand-new Scorestreak. That Scorestreak is the Combat Bow, capable of dishing out devastating explosive damage across both Multiplayer and Zombies. Here’s how to unlock the Combat Bow in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

The Combat Bow is a free reward tied to the Nuketown Block Party Event Pass live for Black Ops 6 Season 5 Reloaded. To unlock it, players will need to earn XP during the event's runtime, which runs from September 4 to September 25 at 10 AM PT. Once enough XP has been earned, the Combat Bow will be ready to use in both Multiplayer and Zombies.

Once the Nuketown Block Party Event Pass has ended on September 25, the Combat Bow will be moved over to the Armory for those who have not unlocked it during the event's runtime.

How to Use the Combat Bow in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer & Zombies

The Combat Bow is an earnable Scorestreak in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer and a craftable Support Item in Zombies. To get it in Multiplayer, players will need to equip it as a Scorestreak and then rack up a total of 500 Score without being eliminated. This can be done by getting eliminations, assists, or playing the objective. In Zombies, however, players will need to craft the Combat Bow on a Crafting Bench using 1,250 Salvage.

In both modes, the Combat Bow takes up the Scorestreak slot in the player’s inventory and can be called in when ready. It comes with five arrows in total, each firing explosive bolts that leave behind a burning pool of fire capable of dealing incendiary damage to enemies caught in its radius. Like other Scorestreaks, the Combat Bow can be used until all of its ammo is spent, or the player is eliminated after deploying it.
