The infamous Kali Sticks are making a chilling return in season three of Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone, leaving players with mixed feelings.
Many players still remember the nightmares these melee weapons brought, especially after they received a long-overdue nerf in the original Warzone. Despite the chaos, there was undeniable excitement in ambushing unsuspecting enemies with the help of teammates.
“The notorious Kali Sticks are back, delivering swift damage that can down opponents in a heartbeat,” Activision noted. “Execute rapid follow-up hits with the weapon’s light attack, or take a more theatrical approach with its heavy attack. In multiplayer, leverage the new Close Shave Perk to quickly strike enemies without needing to switch to your dedicated melee slot.”
Here’s how to incorporate the Kali Sticks into your gunfights in Warzone and BO6.
Unlocking the Kali Sticks in BO6 and Warzone
To claim the Kali Sticks melee weapon, you must earn them as the Mastery Reward for the Return to Verdansk event in Warzone, which runs from April 3 to April 15. Completing the 12 additional tasks is required to unlock this coveted reward (13 if you include the Kilo 141, available for free upon logging into Warzone when the servers come back online on April 3).
In the Return to Verdansk event, each of the 12 rewards corresponds to a specific Point of Interest (POI) on the map, including Dam, Military Base, Quarry, Storage Town, Superstore, Stadium, Train Station, Hospital, Downtown, Hills, Port, and Prison.
At these POIs, players should search for Hidden Safes to uncover the unique rewards for each area. Opening a safe can yield supply loot, a targeted zone reward, or a mysterious “special reward.”
Here’s the complete list of rewards to unlock before accessing the Kali Sticks:
- Loading Screen: “Let’s Plan Something!”
- Emblem: “Jarvdinsk Spomenik”
- Calling Card: “Lumberjack Legends”
- Weapon Decal: “Deathly Chill Return”
- Weapon Charm: “With Fries, Please”
- Calling Card: “Breaking News”
- Finishing Move: “The Back Adjustment”
- Spray: “Love 4 Tha Game”
- Emote: “Cheering the Squad”
- Token: Double XP Token (45 minutes)
- Sticker: “Shipping to Verdansk”
- Calling Card: “Wheel of Glory”
Stay alert and determined while exploring the map to discover these hidden safes and claim the POI’s reward before proceeding. A recommended mode for this is Plunder, which allows respawning, making it easier to navigate the map without severe penalties for dying.
Once you unlock the Kali Sticks, make sure to equip them in your dedicated melee slot in your loadouts. They are excellent for conserving ammo by dispatching downed enemies with a few quick strikes instead of resorting to firearms.
