How to unlock the crossbow in Modern Warfare 2 Season 2
What is “The Path of Ronin? This challenge series is about the seven virtues of Bushido. This is not the German rapper, but the code of the Japanese samurai. In Modern Warfare 2 you have to complete a total of seven missions, which are all based on the seven virtues:
- Integrity
- Respect
- Courage
- Honor
- Compassion
- Sincerity
- Loyalty
To unlock the crossbow now, you need to complete the following missions under the names of the virtues. Note, however, that you don’t have to complete both variants. You get the choice to complete the path of Ronin in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer or in Warzone 2. You can also alternate the first mission in multiplayer, the second in Warzone 2. If you complete all Ronin challenges, you will get the crossbow for both Warzone 2.0 and Modern Warfare 2.

Instead, you’ll have to be patient because the developer wants to distribute the missing missions over the coming weeks. When exactly the rest of the Path of Ronin will be released is unclear. As soon as we have more detailed information, we will, of course, update this guide immediately.
