Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warplayers checking the shop today were treated to the surprise of a new melee weapon. In one of the game’s cosmetic bundles, a wooden stake is unlockable — givingCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warfans an edge if vampires ever appear in the game.
WhileCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warrecently saw the addition of astylish clown skin for Baker, players will need to have even more COD points ready if they are interested in acquiring the wooden stake. Part of the “Most Dangerous Hunt” bundle, the melee weapon is accompanied by a charm depicting a carved hunting dog as well as a sticker depicting the skull of a deer. Two gun blueprints can also be obtained from the bundle, adding to its value.

The first gun blueprint sees the Pelington 703 getting a shiny wooden finish, making it look like a traditional hunting rifle as opposed to a military-grade weapon. The same treatment is given to the Hauer 77, with the pump action shotgun given a look fitting of the customization pack’s theme. With no skins or finishing moves included in this specificCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warbundle, the pack will only cost players 1500 COD points (roughly $15), which is a mid-tier price that sits a fair bit below some of the more expensive packs.
Most players interested in this “Most Dangerous Hunt” pack will likely find the wooden stake to be the most appealing aspect of the bundle, though players expecting unique stats should be warned that this is not the case. By simply being a blueprintfor the combat knife,Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warplayers should expect the weapon to deal the same amount of damage as the game’s standard melee option.
For players wanting something with more diverse stats, theunlockable Wakizashi Swordcould be a good alternative. Once players obtain the companion sword to the katana, they can expect some extra range on their melee attacks at the cost of speed. This speed cost in exchange for a range buff is only enhanced further by wielding the sledgehammer, as the large melee weapon thrives at taking out single targets quickly but comes with the cost of a slow recovery time.
Regardless of what melee weaponCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warplayers use, though, it is nice to see that fans of knife-only gameplay have several options. With this stake sure to remind long-time fans of fighting vampires in theCall of DutyZombies map Dead of the Night, fans of the survival mode may find the blueprint appealing as well.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
