  • Sharpshooter
    • “Flex your skills in this classic Black Ops free-for-all all party mode where every Operator is assigned the same Loadout, which changes every 45 seconds. Each cycle introduces a new Primary and Secondary Weapon from scoped Sniper Rifles to akimbo Pistols, plus a new Dedicated Melee weapon and Tactical and Lethal Equipment.”
