Galvaknuckles

The Galvaknuckles, also known as  Combatant Suppression Knuckles , are a special melee weapon that appears Call of Duty: Black Ops II. It appears in the campaign, Strike Force and Zombies.

The Galvaknuckles appear in the campaign missions Karma and Odysseus. It replaces the standard knife. When used, the Galvaknuckles electrocute enemies, causing them to shake uncontrollably and sometimes throw up. Enemies electrocuted by Galvaknuckles will be rendered immobile and will die shortly after being struck.

The Galvaknuckles also appear in Strike Force missions, sometimes carried by the troops the Player can control.

The melee weapon appears in Zombies mode. In TranZit they can be found at the diner on top of the roof, accessible with the hatch, which can only be used once to get to the diner's roof or on the Bus. In Nuketown Zombies, it is in the trailer. They cost 6000 points, 3000 more than the Bowie Knife, but it is far more powerful, killing the Denizen from Tranzit in two hits rather than three. They also can be found in the zombie map Farm in the garage containing the tractor. In Town when playing survival they can be found in the bar just at the bottom of the staircase.
