Gravity Spikes

The Gravity Spikes is a specialist weapon featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops III and Call of Duty: Mobile.
==Call of Duty: Black Ops III==
The Gravity Spikes are exclusive to Ruin and Blackjack. They allow the player to take out enemies with a powerful shock wave, along with other enemy machinery, such as Talons.
The Gravity Spikes are available to be unlocked immediately, but require one unlock token. Unlike other specialist weapons, the Gravity Spikes are single-use each time they are earned. They are not equipped, but rather used immediately upon activation.
When used, Ruin jumps and slams the spikes into the ground, causing a massive shockwave that kills any player within its radius, as well as causing damage to enemy scorestreaks. They can also be activated in the air, where the spikes will be slammed upon landing.
Compared to other specialist weapons, getting kills is quite easy, as the player simply needs to activate the Gravity Spikes nearby an enemy without need to aim. However, due to its single use nature, it can only achieve multiple kills if enemies are grouped together, and it has a slow charge time. The player can also be killed while activating the Gravity Spikes, which will result in losing half of the charge meter.
Gravity Spikes are useful in objective modes such as Domination and Hardpoint since players are often grouped in predictable locations. However, in Hardcore modes, it can easily end up killing friendly players too if the user is not aware of their surroundings, and the user is also more easily killed mid-use.

==Call of Duty: Mobile==
The Gravity Spikes return in Call of Duty Mobile as an Operator Skill. They were added as part of the Season 2 update.
The function is same as in Black Ops III, with the exception that if the player is killed during the activation, the charge meter runs back to zero. The Gravity Spikes first made appearance in a limited-time melee event, and were later brought as a permanent operator skill.
==Trivia==
