Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 1 are approaching their final stages, but exciting new content continues to roll out for avid gamers. While many are engrossed in recent features such as the Citadelle Des Morts Zombies map and Area 99 Resurgence, there’s a new melee weapon that players are eager to explore.
Among the array of weapons introduced in Season 1, including the Krig C and Saug Submachine Gun, melee enthusiasts will be thrilled to discover the debut of the Cleaver Melee Weapon. Unlike many other Season 1 items available through the Battle Pass, the Cleaver must be unlocked through a special method.
Unlocking the Cleaver Melee Weapon
The Cleaver is part of the free reward track associated with the Squid Game Event Pass for Black Ops 6 and Warzone’s Season 1. To obtain the Cleaver, players must accumulate a total of 356,000 XP before the event ends. Once this milestone is achieved, the Cleaver will be automatically available for use in the Melee Slot of the player’s loadout.
For those eager to wield the Cleaver sooner, or who would like an additional variant, it can be unlocked by purchasing the Bloody Screams Bundle. Priced at 1,200 COD Points, this bundle includes Blueprint variants for the Cleaver, Knife, and Baseball Bat, offering enhanced options for melee combat.
It’s important to note that the Squid Game Event Pass will only be active for a limited period, concluding on January 24 at 10 AM PT. After this date, the Cleaver will transition to the Armory for players who have not yet unlocked it.
Evaluating the Cleaver’s Effectiveness
In terms of performance among melee weapons, the Cleaver closely resembles the Knife, delivering a one-hit kill to unarmored foes in both Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Players can execute a standard melee attack using the Fire Button, while a Heavy Attack is unleashed with the Aim Button.
The regular melee attack is effective for quick eliminations, but the heavy attack offers increased damage, ideal for encounters with armored opponents, and showcases a unique kill animation. Additionally, players can enjoy a mobility enhancement while wielding the Cleaver, making it a compelling choice for melee combatants.
- One-hit kill against unarmored enemies
- Unique heavy attack and kill animations
- Mobility boost when equipped
