Sticks and Stones gets minor overhaul on Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War

The patch notes for the update showcases the list of changes arriving in the game. The biggest focus in the patch is for the popular multiplayer game mode, Sticks and Stones. These changes include fixes for the bug of players getting 50 instead of 100 points for Tomahawk kills on their screen. Along with that, they also fixed the issue of Finishing moves not being counted as melee kills.

The Snipers Only Moshpit mode also gets a tweak in their loadouts. From now on, players can’t use the Ballistic Knife after there were complaints about the weapon being overly used in the game mode. Along with that, they also fixed the issue with Beck’s Season Three Battle Pass Operator Mission. The objective, which required players to block 1000 incoming damage with Armor Plates, had some problems regarding its progress in Multi-team modes.
