The recent Season 4 Reloaded update has introduced a slew of new features to both Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty Warzone, notably the addition of the sledgehammer melee weapon. This new weapon, a 20-pound carbon steel sledgehammer, provides players with enhanced capabilities in close combat through its unique moveset, which includes swings, overhead attacks, and a pole butt strike.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 & Warzone Season 4 Reloaded – Unlocking The Sledgehammer

In order to wield this formidable weapon, players are required to complete any five weekly challenges starting from Week 5 of the Season 4 Reloaded. These challenges vary across different gameplay modes including Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone, each offering a series of tasks that cater to different styles of gameplay.

Alternative Unlock Method In Zombies:

Players have an alternative method to unlock the sledgehammer in Zombies mode. If a player's friend already possesses the sledgehammer, they can drop it at the beginning of a Zombies match. Successfully exiting the match (exfil) with the weapon will unlock it for the player. This method is applicable to any weapon within the game, offering a teamwork-based alternative to the challenge completions.

Call Of Duty Store Bundle And Future Availability:

Although the sledgehammer is not currently available through any store bundles, it is expected to appear in future shop updates. This provides players who prefer direct purchases a chance to acquire the sledgehammer without engaging in the various challenges.

In addition to the sledgehammer, the Season 4 Reloaded update has also introduced the Reclaimer 18 shotgun. This new firearm adds to the arsenal available to players, enhancing the overall gameplay experience in both Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone.

The integration of new weapons like the sledgehammer and the Reclaimer 18 shotgun enriches the strategic options available to players, allowing for varied combat styles and tactics. As Call of Duty continues to evolve with each update, the introduction of new challenges and weaponry ensures that the gameplay remains engaging and competitive for its vast player base.
