In this episode we're covering Tri-Bolt.
An unusual attachment option, tri-bolt makes its first appearance in Black Ops 2, where it is available for just a single weapon.
Tri-bolt is unique to the Crossbow, as its effect is intrinsic to the bolt-firing nature of the weapon.
It is entirely compatible with the optical attachment options available for the Crossbow - although this will require the use of the Secondary Gunfighter wildcard.
Tri-bolt's effect is relatively straightforward - instead of firing a single bolt at a time with the crossbow, you'll discharge an entire magazine's worth - 3 bolts - in a single pull of the trigger.
These three bolts are fired in a horizontal pattern, fanning out in a trident-like fashion to enhance the odds of you hitting a target moving left or right.
When hipfired, bolt placement is random: almost like an explosive shotgun - this spread can be useful to pepper an area with deadly explosive bolts, although this tactic is limited by the paltry explosive blast radius.
Nevertheless, tri-bolt is an interesting option for the Crossbow, and will increase your odds of sticking an opponent - although this comes at the cost of increased ammo consumption, and more frequent reloads.
It makes the Crossbow much more forgiving in close quarters, as hipfire becomes much more effective - and if you strike your opponent directly with all three bolts they'll be instantly killed.
These direct impact kills can be useful, as your enemy will then drop a scavenger pack, permitting a resupply for another 3 bolt-bundle.
However, the need for a reload after every shot and the massively increased ammo consumption are two major downsides to the attachment: limiting you to just two shots with the Crossbow's starting supply.
This severely hampers the long-term use of the weapon, so if you plan on using the crossbow extensively I would steer well clear of the tri-bolt attachment.
Still, if you're dismayed at the Crossbow's close-range performance, or one bolt at a time simply isn't enough for you...
...then three is the magic number.
