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, the Tomahawk takes up the lethal grenade slot. It is heavier than the Throwing knife in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The Tomahawk appears to travel in a much straighter line, meaning the player does not need to compensate for gravity as much as in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Trivia

 * This is the weapon the player uses in the beginning of "Rebirth," although Reznov calls it a "hatchet." Instead of being a throwing weapon, it is used in a melee fashion like the knife.
 * The Tomahawk seems to move quicker and in a straighter line than the similar Throwing Knife of Modern Warfare 2, 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.
 * If the Scavenger perk is equipped, you won't need to pick up the tomahawk after you throw it, just walk over the fallen enemy and it'd be restocked like all other ammo; if not, you need to pick it up from the ground of your victim to restock.
 * Tomahawks can destroy an enemy RC-XD.
 * Thrown Tomahawks will glow yellow if the player can pick them up.
 * The Tomahawk is in the 'Lethal Grenade' section, however it is not a grenade.
 * If you pull out your Tomahawk before climbing a ladder, you can use it to engage a target at the top of the ladder. (i.e. the guard tower in the middle of the Firing Range multiplayer level)
