How to get Sledgehammer melee weapon in MW3 & Warzone

MW3 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded introduced two new weapons, one of them being the Sledgehammer, a brutal melee weapon for all the melee enjoyers.

Season 4 introduced four new weapons to MW3 and Warzone, with the Kar98k and the Superi 46 both season launch weapons.

With Season 4 Reloaded, two weapons joined, the Reclaimer 18 shotgun and the Sledgehammer. The latter is a powerful new melee option that’s been a staple in previous CoD titles, notably ones made by Sledgehammer Games like Vanguard and World War 2.

Without further ado, here’s what you need to know about unlocking the Sledgehammer melee.

How to get the Sledgehammer in MW3 and Warzone? 

To unlock the Sledgehammer, you’ll need to complete five Weekly Challenges. These challenges can be completed across any of MW3’s modes and Warzone.

The Sledgehammer has six progression levels, and while it most likely doesn’t have attachments, you’ll need to level it up to unlock camo challenges. Speaking of, the Sledgehammer will introduce the new “Dubs Dubs Dubs” Weapon Camo for dedicated camo enthusiasts.

Unlike some of MW3 and Warzone’s newer melee weapons that focus on speed, the Sledgehammer as you can imagine is very much focused around the sheer brute force that a Sledgehammer can deal. 

“This bludgeoning behemoth isn’t designed for driving nails into wood, with a 20-pound head forged from carbon steel, beveled so the weapon doesn’t chip when striking, this monster of a melee weapon can inflict massive blunt force damage quickly,” the devs write in the Season 4 blog.
