What is the Gladiator Melee in MW3 & Warzone Season 3? Answered
The Gladiator Melee in MW3 & Warzone Season 3 is one of the three new weapons featured at the launch of the new Season. Although it is not as versatile as the MORS Sniper Rifle or FJX Horus SMG, the Gladiator Melee is still an effective weapon in close range engagements.
The developers described the new weapon as a "compact, concealable punch knife that was initially used by gamblers and politicians."
The Gladiator Melee has 6 levels.
How to Unlock Gladiator Melee in MW3 & Warzone Season 3
To unlock the Gladiator Melee in MW3 & Warzone Season 3, you must complete Battle Pass Sector 15. Unfortunately, the reward is not free, and therefore you must upgrade your Battle Pass to get the Gladiator Melee. You do not have to worry about completing any weekly or daily challenges.
In the MW3 & Warzone Season 3 roadmap, the developers revealed, "Close combat was never so quick and painful, with the Gladiator rivaling the Karambit for supreme mobility, handling, and damage potential. Cut straight to the bone with haste and ease, but ensure you’re close enough to make your lethal stabs count."
The only downside to the Gladiator Melee is its size. The small melee lacks the range other Melees possess, and therefore you must get extremely close to your opponent to effectively use the weapon.
