Combatant Suppression Knuckles

The Combatant Suppression Knuckles are a special melee weapon that appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. They appear in the campaign and Strike Force.

The Combatant Suppression Knuckles appear in the campaign missions Karma and Odysseus. They replace the standard knife. When used, the Combatant Suppression Knuckles electrocute enemies, causing them to shake uncontrollably and sometimes regurgitate. Enemies electrocuted by Combatant Suppression Knuckles will be rendered immobile and will die shortly after being struck.

It is a far faster melee weapon than the default knife, with a shorter cool down between uses, making it easier to use in close quarters.

The Combatant Suppression Knuckles also appear in Strike Force missions, sometimes carried by the troops the Player can control. In strike force they usually spawn on assault soldiers and not as often on heavy soldiers.

Trivia

 * The Combatant Suppression Knuckles have two different models: during Karma, they will be large and chunky, however in Odysseus and the Strike Force missions, they will be much thinner. This may be because the ones in Karma are used by civilian security and the ones in Strike Force and Odysseus are military grade.
