The Kali Sticks are making a horrifying return toCall of Dutyin season three ofBlack Ops 6andWarzone, and I’m not quite sure how to feel about it.

I sometimes still have nightmares about these melee weapons, which received a much-needed nerf after being a pain in the butt for quite some time in the originalWarzone, as fun as it was to run up on an unsuspecting enemy and beat them senseless with your teammates.

Kali Sticks Warzone BO6

“The infamous Kali Sticks return, dealing out damage with rapid swings that’ll take down your target in a flash,” Activision said. “Smack them with fast follow-up hits using the weapon’s light attack or take them out in a more dramatic fashion by unleashing the heavy attack. Use Kali Sticks in multiplayer with the new Close Shave Perk to deploy a quick whack against enemies without having to manually swap to your Dedicated Melee slot first.”

Here’s how to bring your own sticks to your gunfights inWarzoneandBO6.

How to get the Kali Sticks in BO6 and Warzone

The Kali Sticks melee weapon isthe Mastery Reward for theReturn to Verdansk event inWarzone, which runs from April 3 to 15. It is the final reward you may earn after unlocking the other 12 items first (13 if you include the Kilo 141, which you get for free upon logging in to Warzone once its servers return on April 3).

In Return to Verdansk, all 12 rewards are tied to a specific POI on the map. Each POI is as follows: Dam, Military Base, Quarry, Storage Town, Superstore, Stadium, Train Station, Hospital, Downtown, Hills, Port, and Prison.

Within each POI, you must search andfind Hidden Safes to try and find that area’s specific reward. Each time you open a safe, you will have the chance to receive supply loot, a specific zone reward, or a redacted “special reward.”

Here’s the full list of every reward you need to get before gaining access to the Kali Sticks:

Simply remain vigilant and persistent in running around the map and trying to find these hidden safes to hopefully get the POI’s reward before moving on to the next one. A good mode for this is Plunder, which has respawn enabled, allowing you to move around the map with ease without getting punished too hard for dying.

ensure to equip the Kali Sticks in your dedicated melee slot in your loadouts once you have it to bring them to every fight because they’re pretty good for saving up ammo by taking down downed enemies with a few quick whacks instead of firing your gun.
