Stay sharp, readers. Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War Season 3 is bringing knife-tossing, hatchet-dodging gamemode Sticks and Stones to the series' latest entry.
A Black Ops staple since Treyarch's 2010 original, Sticks and Stones is a razor-sharp free-for-all that gives each player a pointed trio of weapons: an R1 Shadowhunter crossbow, a ballistic knife, and a tomahawk. Score a kill with the first two, and you'll earn a point. Score a kill with the tomahawk, however, and you'll reset their score to zero.
Every so often, a spy plane will sweep overhead and reveal everyone's position, ensuring you can't just lie in wait for an easy axe kill. The player in first will be marked with a gold dot during these reveals. If that's you, you'll probably want to keep your head down.
