TTK Comparison

When comparing the Longbow vs VS Recon in Warzone, TTK is often the deciding factor. At close range, the VS Recon has the faster time-to-kill (OHK vs 588ms). Across all ranges TTK remains competitive between the two.

Handling and Mobility

Handling is where the Longbow and VS Recon often diverge most. The Longbow has a faster ADS time at 520ms compared to 590ms for the VS Recon, giving it a reaction speed edge in gun fights. The Longbow also reloads faster, which matters in sustained fights.

Range and Bullet Velocity

Bullet velocity directly impacts how much lead you need to apply at range. The Longbow fires at 770 m/s versus 720 m/s for the VS Recon, making it noticeably more consistent at distance.

Magazine and Reload

Magazine size affects how long you can stay in a fight without reloading. The Longbow carries 30 rounds by default versus 6 for the VS Recon. That extra capacity suits more suppressive or squad-wiping roles. Extended mag attachments are available for both and are typically recommended in any meta build.
