A Warzone player has given a final kill that may be the wildest ever in the battle royale game with very high probabilities. The play is so ridiculous that the entire Call of Duty community is going absolutely nuts. A video that was initially uploaded by Reddit user revofx99 displays an out of this world tomahawk throw that wins the match with only one second remaining in a Rebirth match. And, to be honest? It is the kind of play that one needs to witness in order to believe it.
The video presents a player in the middle of a tense final circle moment, right? They are exchanging fire with their only enemy, missing most of their AR shots—which some people were very quick to point out—when suddenly that player resorts to a throwing knife or tomahawk and just throws it across the map for the win. The timing was so amazing that it almost seemed scripted, but it is apparently real. A commentator very aptly expressed it thus: “Bro maximized his Aura in final second,” which is basically gaming slang for someone who has turned on their ultimate gamer powers when it was most needed.
However, there are always mixed reactions when something as crazy as this happens in Warzone. Players like Web3Looper belong to the camp of those that appreciate this and he goes so far as to say “This kill was wild asf not going to deny that wow—you have my respect player,” which conveys the true acknowledgment for the skill that was used. On the other hand, there are people like flapjackcrack who have more or less dismissed it in the statement “Acting like tomahawk kills weren’t common back in the day. Tf is so insane about this shit in 2025” which, fair enough I suppose? But still, a final circle tomahawk victory will always be a great hype no matter the year.
What is the most incredible part of all this? It is the community’s split over whether it was skill or luck that enabled the player to win. colinkhaw commented: “Honestly, that’s like 30% skill 70% luck,” and this seems to be very true for the most part of throwing knives kills if we are to be honest with ourselves. But then on the other side you have players like iamskrptd who termed it a “Filthy play, love to see it. Bet the house on that one,” which seems to suggest that there was some degree of calculated risk involved after all. And whozae made a very insightful observation: “The first video I have watched of a Warzone Victory by Tomahawk 5 Years 😭” which certainly quenches the thirst of wondering how it was possible for us not to have seen more of such moments over the years.
The statement about the timing really stands out! Like, we are talking about a play that takes place in the very last moments of a Rebirth match when one mistake means they lose the victory. The player does not make it most of their AR shots—as tay pointed out with “This is insane? Missed every shot”—then goes to a stunning tomahawk throw that somehow lands. It is the kind of play that screams for high-risk, high-reward and most players would not even dare to attempt it in such a scenario, and that’s what makes it so distinctive.
Cheating accusations will always be associated with such moments and this is Warzone that we are talking about. One user 9U703LQU3L0L3A commented basically “Another freaking cheater, what a surprise,” which… okay, maybe? However, the clip does not show any cheating clearly—just what appears to be a perfectly timed, very lucky, and consequently, a huge throw that paid off.
An interesting and even cool thing is that different players admire different aspects of the play. Some love the technical skill to the max, while others see it in the sheer courage of going for a throwing knife in that situation. Elixir Gaming Guild referred to it as “absolutely epic!” while PeakViews termed it an “Absolute clutch! What a finish!” And then there are the more cautious opinions like BillyBongJr who said “Hitting shots with an AR is not impressive at all and has been done a billion times…” which is true, but that’s what makes the tomahawk finish so special—it’s unexpected.
The entire thing about Rebirth Island being the backdrop just makes it even better, to be honest. That map has been synonymous with wild final circles and crazy actions but this one is perhaps the most artistic win we have witnessed. xSCOOP__ even posted another clip asking “crazier than this?” which shows how these types of plays inspire others to share their insane moments.
There is something about the unexpected victories that makes them feel different in Warzone. Like, everybody is expecting the last kill to be either a long-range snipe or some AR spray, but when someone throws a knife and it works? That is the stuff that becomes an instant legend in the community. It does not rely on the best loadouts or the perfect strategy—it is just that very moment when a player thinks “to hell with it” and goes for the highlight reel play.
And let’s be honest—even the haters saying “ehhh I’ve seen better” or “Yawn war zone is a snoozefest now” like from IceKnightK… they are still watching the clip and commenting, right? That’s the thing with these viral gaming moments—their impact is on everybody, they get to talk even if they are not impressed. The play was able to bypass all the regular Warzone discussions and actually excite people about the game again, which is a rare case nowadays.
To conclude, it is such kind of plays that continue to keep the Warzone community active and engaged even after so many years. When players find new ways to win and create unforgettable moments, the game is talked to have magic left in it. Be it pure skill, almost luck, or a mixture of both, such content is what makes battle royale games so entertaining to watch and play. And guess what? I’m all for it—please give me more crazy tomahawk kills!
PlayStation and Xbox players can both enjoy these incredible gaming moments.
