The Sledgehammer was introduced in the MW3 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded patch, adding another interesting melee weapon to the game. You’ll not be able to take down anyone at long range with this one, but if you’re close enough, swing this and send them packing.

If you want to become the Triple H of Call of Duty (wrestling fans know what I’m talking about,) then here’s how to unlock it.

How to get the Sledgehammer in MW3 and Warzone

To unlock the Sledgehammer, you’ll need to complete any five of MW3 and Warzone‘s Week 5 challenges. The good news is that you don’t need to complete all five in the same mode, so you can pick and choose across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Battle Royale to find the ones you think will be easiest for you.
