The Sledgehammer, a brutal new melee weapon, awaits those willing to put in the work in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone.
This weapon arrives in the Season 4 Reloaded update, along with the Reclaimer 18 shotgun.
In this ONE Esports guide, we provide details on obtaining the Sledgehammer so you can start whacking your enemies’ heads.
Here’s how to get Sledgehammer in MW3 and WZ
Activision provides this detailed description of the new hammer claw bar weapon:
“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, knock a foe back with a pole butt, or cause more monumental damage after a brief pause and a swing.”
You can unlock the Sledgehammer by completing five weekly challenges. However, it’s still uncertain which week in Season 4 will feature this weapon as a reward.
Weekly challenges generally require players to achieve a certain number of kills using recommended weapons or complete specific objectives in MW3 Multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone.
To efficiently complete your weekly tasks, it’s advisable to play in Multiplayer or Zombies mode, and tackle challenges that involve operator or zombie kills.
Warzone, however, poses a more significant challenge, as scoring kills and fulfilling contracts in this mode is more difficult compared to Multiplayer and Zombies.
