Ballistic Knife Melee Weapon
Spring-action knife launcher. High melee damage and can fire retrievable blades as projectiles
The Ballistic Knife returns, a staple Black Ops weapon that lets you pull off deadly ranged attacks with surprising speed and accuracy as the blade is fired from the handle, eliminating unarmored targets on contact. Pick up your fired blades in the environment to keep stocked up or equip the Scavenger Perk to refill your stash with every resupply.
