Tomahawk



The Tomahawk is a new weapon in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It looks to have similarities to the Throwing Knife, for it also has a one-hit-kill ability and it has a similar reticule. It is used in Sticks and Stones as a weapon that resets the victim's score to 0 (known as bankruptcy) if hit, and will award the player with 10 points. It costs. In Multiplayer, it will take up the lethal grenade slot.

Trivia

 * This weapon seems to be the spiritual successor to the Throwing Knife.
 * This weapon seems to be based on the Strider Knives Medium Hatchet.
 * The Tomahawk seems to move quicker and in a straighter line than the Throwing Knife making it a more deadly weapon.
 * Extra XP seems to be awarded for scoring a headshot with the Tomahawk, as seen in the Wager Match Trailer.
 * In the Wager Match game mode Sticks and Stones, the tomahawk gives a lot less points to the player than the Crossbow or Ballistic Knife. This was most likely done for balancing purposes as the Tomahawk bankrupts (or completely erases opponents score) the enemy player, and they did not want people to only use the tomahawk.
 * As with the Throwing Knife, suicide is impossible with this weapon, such as if the player were to angle it off a wall to hit the player.
