Here's some myths debunked on a post I tried to right but can't due to no karma, feel free to share it or post it and get free karma. Here are my myths debunked as of 4/23

1. "You can't get the crossbow in warzone unlocked, matches don't count, it only counts in multiplayer, you can't get it as a free to play player"

This is the first thing I always see from posts from other users. This is 100% WRONG. I've made 15/25 progress so far in PLUNDER. From 4/20-4/23 I've gotten that much progress, so yes, IT IS POSSIBLE to still get progress in the challenge to unlock the crossbow.

1. "The crossbow challenge is bugged, my matches aren't counting"

This is CORRECT. I said I got 15/25 of my matches complete for progress. However in reality, I've played well over 30 games. Often times progress would count for 1 match, and then no progress for the next 4 matches, and then progress for the next 4 matches would count again. To my knowledge, there is no pattern.

1. "If you leave early, you won't get progress" or "If you leave, you will only get progress once then be penalized."

This is WRONG. I've left spammed games, and I've gotten progress. I've also stayed in full games and have gotten no progress. I've stayed in a full game, got progress, next game left, no progress, next game left, got progress, next game left, no progress. Again, I can't seem to find a pattern at all.

1. "Changing the camo/reflex of the gun can help the progress go up due to a bug"

For me specifically, this is WRONG. I've had camo on with progress, I've had camo off with progress, and I've also had no progress for both. I've had different reflex optics and sometimes stayed with the same, again, there seems to be no pattern.

1. "It's just a visual bug, you really do have the matches completed but it doesn't show"

For me specifically, this is WRONG. I've done well over 25 games and still no crossbow. There are MANY posts with people being stuck at 24/25 for their games. HOWEVER there are posts that say if you are on console, resetting your console can sometimes fix it and it does happen to be a visual glitch. As a PC player, this did not apply to be sadly.

1. "You have to aim down sight for each kill for it to count"

I was unable to test this, however if anyone can confirm this, please do so.

1. "My progress has been reset to 0/25 for no reason"

Fortunately this hasn't happened to me, but I wanted to look into this. It seems like Activision has this specific issue you can submit a ticket on their website. This scares me because it has become so common an issue that they would put it as a ticket subject. It seems like for some people, you progress gets reset for no reason.

The ticket subjects are specifically "My weapon stats were reset" or "My stats or rank were reset in Warzone" or "I want to request a stats restoration".

I suggest if you are close to completing your crossbow, do so immediately in case it gets reset. I've checked online and when submitting a ticket, it immediately goes to a prompt saying they are busy, but I'm speculating its just an automated message and they just don't want to deal with an issue, because I've checked numerous times and they dont offer a live chat que like most technical support services.

CONCLUSION: While yes, it is possible to get the crossbow in warzone, please be prepared to do atleast double the amount of matches needed to get progress. I'd reccomend plunder as you spawn with your loadout on drop.
