How do you unlock the KBS Longbow?

The KBS Longbow belongs to the starting Create-a-Class weapon pool in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. It is a heavy bolt-action sniper: Every shot is followed by a bolt cycle and a completely new sight picture. Use that stable behavior rather than relying on patch-sensitive damage claims. Its camo track finishes at Neon Tiger (Get 3 kills without dying 20 times). Complete every camo challenge on it and Gold unlocks. Earn Gold on every camo-eligible launch weapon required in its category for Diamond. Complete the required base-game class mastery route to earn Black Sky.

How does the KBS Longbow play in Infinite Warfare?

Roleheavy bolt-action sniper
Real-world basisFictional Infinite Warfare weapon; no one-to-one real-world model is asserted.
StrengthsThe KBS Longbow has a clear heavy bolt-action sniper identity; Every shot is followed by a bolt cycle and a completely new sight picture
TradeoffsA miss leaves a full correction window if the same angle is held; Its sniper rifle role still depends on choosing the correct route and first engagement
Useful setupUse an optic and handling setup that lets the reticle settle before the shot; Move after a miss or revealed pick rather than repeating the same exposed angle
Challenge noteComplete the 14 Multiplayer challenge camos on this weapon for Gold. It counts toward the original 35-weapon Black Sky route.
Progression tipGold is earned per weapon, Diamond covers its category, Solar covers the original non-Classic categories, and Black Sky adds the original Classic category. This launch weapon participates in that original scope.
Camo tipShoot beside hard cover and change the peek after the bolt cycle.
Compared withThe Widowmaker offers a burst; the KBS Longbow commits to one bolt-action shot.

KBS Longbow — common questions

How do you unlock the KBS Longbow in Infinite Warfare?

The KBS Longbow is available in the starting Create-a-Class pool once Create-a-Class opens in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare multiplayer. The level cap is 55, and prestige is 10 standard Prestige levels, followed by Master Prestige progression. Each standard Prestige grants a Permanent Unlock Token; odd-numbered entries also supply Classic Weapon Unlock Tokens.

How do you unlock camos on the KBS Longbow?

Camo progress is per-weapon. Desert, Mars, Arctic Tech and Wilderness track initial kills or streak destruction. Mojave through Zebra use class-specific objectives, followed by Autumn, Whiteout, Bengal, Murdered Out and Neon Tiger. Gold is per weapon and Diamond normally covers one category; Combat Knife Diamond instead requires all original non-Classic secondaries, and Classic Diamond requires all six original Classic weapons. Solar covers the original non-Classic categories and Black Sky completes the original Classic step. Quartermaster, Mission Team, Zombies, event and promotional camos are not prerequisites for Gold, Diamond, Solar or Black Sky. On the KBS Longbow the final tier is Neon Tiger — Get 3 kills without dying 20 times. After that, Gold needs every camo challenge on the weapon done, and Diamond needs Gold on every camo-eligible launch weapon required in its category, and Black Sky requires mastery across the base-game weapon classes.
