Longbow Attachment Setup

Best Longbow Attachments
Muzzle HMRES Mod Suppressor
Stock No Stock
Bolt SA-M Quickbolt
Magazine 10 Round Mag
Underbarrel XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop

For this Longbow attachment setup, the SA-M Quickbolt lets you play this Sniper Rifle aggressively as it greatly speeds up your rechambering speed. Meaning you'll be able to spam bullets constantly, making it function similarly as a Marksman Rifle.

By choosing the XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop and the No Stock option, you'll be able to aim down your sights faster, letting you do some quickscope plays when charging towards the enemy.

You can even switch to a stealthy playstyle and sneak up on your foes with the HMRES Mod Suppressor as it will render you completely undetectable on the radar when firing your weapon.

Longbow Loadout Setup

Best Longbow Loadout
Vest Infantry Vest
Gloves Marksman Gloves
Boots Stalker Boots
Gear TAC Mask
Field Upgrade Trophy System
Tactical Flash Grenade
Lethal Semtex

For this Longbow loadout, the Marksman Gloves will help you with sniping your opponents as it reduces swaying and flinching while scoping down.

You can also peek in and out of cover quickly with the Stalker Boots equipped since this increases your strafing speed.

The Trophy System prevents you from being flushed out of your sniping position by automatically destroying all incoming grenades thrown at you.
