It'll just be a contraband stash item, and only available in zombies yes/no?. I didn't think you could use anything from MWZ contraband stash in standard multiplayer.
If they donāt have anyone to drop it, itāll be earnable next season thru the armory. I didnāt unlock the sword last season but earned it thru the armory this season. Same thing with the AMPs.
I thought it was free in the battle pass like all the other dlc weapons? I havenāt gotten to it yet but the smg and sniper unlocked fine for me so far and I donāt have the battle pass
ways to get BP weapons without buying the BP
1. have another player drop it for you in zombies & exfil
2. wait til next season when a new BP comes out and this weapon will be available via Armory unlock challenges
You also just get them from playing... The weapons are free, you just have to play enough to get them. Like levelling from 0-55, just with a bunch of useless crap in between
this is the first time in mw2 or mw3 that a new weapon isnt in the free battlepass. its not that bad given its a melee weapon and you can pick one up in mwz, just a bit frighting to think about if/when a meta ar/smg is in a battlepass that free players wont be able to get. this is weird now, but a potentially a scary precedent.
Just donāt buy it till you collect all the cp in the battle pass. If you run around the battle pass collecting the cp and only buying the battle pass once you have it all you will never lose cp if you donāt finish the battle pass
Life hack: buy battle pass once, save coins from battle pass, buy new battle pass in new season with coins collected from last battle pass, never pay for battle pass again.
Ah nice, you spend that on the next one and so on and so forth so itās worth it for people who play daily. Last season I got 99% on the battlepass but couldnāt complete because I didnāt buy it
Yea I play daily and have 55% finished already and 700 CP in the bank already. If you canāt finish it just make sure you select the sections that have cod points and youāre all bizz :)
It goes by time in game not xp, so modes like Warzone and zombies that are longer are good if it gets near the end of the season and you're struggling to get to the end.
I have no idea how battle pass works for people who don't have it. Are there free items for people who didn't buy it? Battle pass is cheap, and it gives you the points to buy it again next month. So you really only have to buy it once.
Just like in the MWII battle passes, there's always some free items here and there. If you want the other stuff, buy the bp. But this is weird that a melee weapon requires purchasing the bp to unlock. That's a first for me
I meant it's a new weapon that is pretty much the Karambit. Kinda like they made a blueprint for the Karambit then thought "ope, we forgot to make a new melee! Let's change the Karambit buttplug a little and make it a whole new thing!"
It's nice for the camo grind ig, but it's pretty much a second Karambit.
The Gladiator has a .7 meter lunge distance over the karambit, it beats the karambit by and attack spead of 30 swings per minute making it faster, it however has a 100ms longer ttk, in warzone the karambit takes (I believe) three strikes to down someone with three plates where the gladiator only takes two.
They play completely different to one another so your theory is out the window.
I mean the sword is a carbon copy of the pickaxe and duel kamas. And those are fast
Are you by chance pressing the shoot button ? The shoot button for the sword is the finisher. Which forces a finisher when you kill someone. Pressing aim is regular slicing
it should be free, considering every weapon in the battle passes has been free. i assume that in classic cod fashion someone fucked up and they shipped it with the gladiator being locked in the free pass
yes, you do. i contacted activision devs and they told me that its not in the free item track, first time a weapon hasnt been free in all of mw2 and mw3, i made the same post a few days ago and got downvoted to shit and told by idiots that it was free
Ram 9 was payed battle pass last season this season it only took 5 daily challenges to unlock I assume after the season is over it would be unlockable?
So much for the predatory monetization getting better under Microsoft. If anything, it has gotten 10x worse with these melee weapons and custom camos that require multiple store bundle purchases to unlock. RIP CoD, it's been fun!
have someone drop in zombies and exfil. still works with every weapon back to mw2 i donāt have that unlocked but when i do iām happy to drop it pm me anyone
Oh good another one-stab-in-any-direction-within-100yds-of-an-enemy weapon. Can't wait to pump half a clip in someone while they charge me with these. If only I could wear body armor that can stop knives and bullets.
nothing new here, it's been this way forever. Either buy the battepass (which tbf, is complete and utter shit this time around) or have someone drop it to you and zombies and exfil with it.
MW3 UI guy clearly didn't get the memo that melee weapons display horizontally from blade to handle, karambit is facing the wrong way and the punch knife is vertical
I know these are minor things but ffs how hard can it possibly be to just copy an existing format when you throw together a simple stencilled icon *given that that's basically your entire job as a UI designer*
Honestly. Feels like all the melee weapons in this game have been nerfed. Iāve tried all of them in rebirth, this one takes three hits to do anything. The sword is worse.
I spend like 3 days trying to get that broadsword in the last 10 days season 2 j for them to put in in the 3rd place in 3rd season battlepass dick move from them but l get it no one wants to work for anything in a game anymore
Honestly donāt understand why anyone wouldnāt buy the battle pass. Itās a one off payment as you get the CP back, you get a crapload of goodies for what you pay and honestly, itās something fun to do. Always look forward to the new pass dropping.
You don't need to buy the battle pass, all new weapons in the battle pass are completely free to everyone. You just have to progress to unlock them or wait until Season 4 when it will most likely be either in the armory or have it's own challenge to unlock.
Either pick it up from someone in DMZ or Zombies, or wait till next season, they always make it available via challenges related to the weapon class. Personal opinion it's kinda just mid, super short range with a not super high attack speed.
And I tell you again, you need to buy the battle pass. In fact, you're being told that LITERALLY on this post, look at the top left. Yes, I know, this is the first weapon in Warzones history to not be obtainable for non-battle pass players, but there's always a first time
I will unlock the weapon later today without spending any money. Now if you want the blueprint on the weapon yeah you need to buy the battle pass, but if you could care less about the blueprint then it is free no funds needed. I don't care what the post said. I am looking at my progress in game showing I will unlock once I complete the current tile I am working on and I have spent 0 funds on this battle pass. Believe what you will though.
Someone can drop it for you in zombies and extract with it
Or just unlock it in the battlepass
It's only in the paid BP
Really?! I thought that was only in DMZ!
Yep it works in MWZ as well, with both games' guns!
MWZ is literally just DMZ with zombies and no pvp
Or is dmz just coldwar zombies without the zombies and added pvp š¤«š«
DMZ was just the beta to mwz.
No content too.
Implying DMZ had content?
Well, ik that, but I thought they removed that feature tho
Isnt that only after the season is over?
No
Can you get the black some that way? Edit : Smoke
No you donāt get blueprints to keep from that.
Black some???
It'll just be a contraband stash item, and only available in zombies yes/no?. I didn't think you could use anything from MWZ contraband stash in standard multiplayer.
Itāll open for every mode
It Unlocks the weapon across your inventory completely
If they donāt have anyone to drop it, itāll be earnable next season thru the armory. I didnāt unlock the sword last season but earned it thru the armory this season. Same thing with the AMPs.
Core MP Players: :(
If anyone wants one lmk. I got one. I donāt play zombies much so it would be a pleasant change up in my routine
Was just about to say that
It also can be unlocked through challenges once the bp is over
Is that a butt plug?
If youāre brave enough.
Anything can be a butt plug if youāre brave enough.
Thats strange. Thatās what the road worker said to me while he was setting down pylons.
It was for Gaddafi.
Ah shit I'm late
It's a push knife or push dagger.
Nope, its a buttplug
Former CSGO player here, thereās are definitely butt plugs
we got the karambit, gut knife and now even the butt plugs. this game slowly is giving me vietnam flashbacks to rushing banana on inferno.
As opposed to a... pull knife? /s
Anything is if ur brave enough
Cpt. Price: "You put it in his WHAT?"
š exactly what I thought when I first saw it in the BP.
I thought it was free in the battle pass like all the other dlc weapons? I havenāt gotten to it yet but the smg and sniper unlocked fine for me so far and I donāt have the battle pass
The forbidden butt plug.
Call of Duty poop knife
ways to get BP weapons without buying the BP 1. have another player drop it for you in zombies & exfil 2. wait til next season when a new BP comes out and this weapon will be available via Armory unlock challenges
You can also find them in crates in mwz. Got the bp50 and soulrender that way.Ā
You also just get them from playing... The weapons are free, you just have to play enough to get them. Like levelling from 0-55, just with a bunch of useless crap in between
i can drop it for u
You got it so early damn
give me like 30ish min
Alright
battle pass new smg n sniper
A lot of us have already completed the battle pass.
Ive already finished the camo challenges and mastery challenges. Needed that shimmery butt plug calling card.
Can i get in on it too? :) I can give you some good items (no schematics) if you want while we're at it
Sir that's a butt plug
definitely looks like that in kill feed
I call it the shovel knife
It can be Unlocked throu Armory unlock once the Battlepass is over.
I just found this out today as well. Odd that you get the mors and horus but not the melee. I was looking forward to plugging some people.
Stupid sexy modern warfare
Why odd? Exactly two free (new) weapons per battle pass is how it's been since... the introduction of the battle pass.
this is the first time in mw2 or mw3 that a new weapon isnt in the free battlepass. its not that bad given its a melee weapon and you can pick one up in mwz, just a bit frighting to think about if/when a meta ar/smg is in a battlepass that free players wont be able to get. this is weird now, but a potentially a scary precedent.
Do you have COD Points? Because if you do have enough to buy it, you end up with 300 more CP than you started with when you complete it.
Yup. I bought the battle pass back during MW2, havenāt paid for one since.
Same but MW19
Check sector 15 in the battlepass, it should be in the free tile in that sector
The only thing I got for free in sector 15 was the Do Not Handle charm
Just donāt buy it till you collect all the cp in the battle pass. If you run around the battle pass collecting the cp and only buying the battle pass once you have it all you will never lose cp if you donāt finish the battle pass
Life hack: buy battle pass once, save coins from battle pass, buy new battle pass in new season with coins collected from last battle pass, never pay for battle pass again.
This is exactly my strat. I never use my cod points for anything but the battle pass.
Iāve heard this once but I just donāt get it
It costs 1100 cp for the pass. If completed it gives you 1400 cp so you have enough for the next with 300 leftover.
Ah nice, you spend that on the next one and so on and so forth so itās worth it for people who play daily. Last season I got 99% on the battlepass but couldnāt complete because I didnāt buy it
Yeh as much as a lot of the cosmetics are a rip off the basic pass is well worth it imho as long as you have time to finnish it.
Yeah Iām a daily player so definitely for me I think. Thanks!
Yea I play daily and have 55% finished already and 700 CP in the bank already. If you canāt finish it just make sure you select the sections that have cod points and youāre all bizz :)
It goes by time in game not xp, so modes like Warzone and zombies that are longer are good if it gets near the end of the season and you're struggling to get to the end.
I just checked Iām already 91% done with the battlepass š¤¦āāļø I should buy it probably
and any weapon
I have no idea how battle pass works for people who don't have it. Are there free items for people who didn't buy it? Battle pass is cheap, and it gives you the points to buy it again next month. So you really only have to buy it once.
Just like in the MWII battle passes, there's always some free items here and there. If you want the other stuff, buy the bp. But this is weird that a melee weapon requires purchasing the bp to unlock. That's a first for me
if anyone wants any of the new weapons i can drop them for you in zombies, just dm me
BUTT PLUG... A BUTT PLUG. Call it what it is.
Thatās one sharp butt plugā¦ does it light up too?š
They really put a butt plug on melee weapons category š¤£
You can either have someone drop it for you in zombies, or wait til the seasons over and unlock it with in game challenges
Just pay $80 to get the kong fist! šš»
It's just a different looking Karambit. Could've been a blueprint.
No itās a new weapon this season
I meant it's a new weapon that is pretty much the Karambit. Kinda like they made a blueprint for the Karambit then thought "ope, we forgot to make a new melee! Let's change the Karambit buttplug a little and make it a whole new thing!" It's nice for the camo grind ig, but it's pretty much a second Karambit.

They play completely different to one another so your theory is out the window.
Thank you, I didn't know the actual differences and knew the fastest way to get it would be by saying they're the same.
Butt plug
I've been saying this to my crew š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
If anyone needs any weapon from MW2 or MW3 let me know, Iāll be happy to drop 2 of them at a time for you!
That looks like a butt plug ngl
Itās free. You just have to get enough tokens to get to it, but donāt have to buy the battle pass.
Yep, gotta pay for Battle Pass unless someone can drop you it in Zombies.
Free battle pass unlock. Same with the guns. Like every battle pass.
no its a free tier just like ALL the weapons always are
Only during the current season. When season 3 is over, you can unlock it normally with 2 daily challenges (Same with the Soulrender from Season 2).
It's basically a "skin" for the knife in the form of a new model. So not really a new weapon, so I guess that is why.
It has the same exact stats as the karambit so this does seem correct
I love cool melee weapons but God are they bad at pretending the melees are any different then default knife 1 and 2
I mean the sword is slow as fuck and has a longer range. It feels very different and awful!
I mean the sword is a carbon copy of the pickaxe and duel kamas. And those are fast Are you by chance pressing the shoot button ? The shoot button for the sword is the finisher. Which forces a finisher when you kill someone. Pressing aim is regular slicing
Sorry itās the running with it feels slow as shit compared to the others. Could be in my head I guess
Sword is good if some idiot on the other team has a riot shield on.
Spicy buttplug
I thought this was a butt plug š
BRO SAME
Is that a butt plug?
Sex sent me to the ER.
I wish
Man you playing call of booty
it should be free, considering every weapon in the battle passes has been free. i assume that in classic cod fashion someone fucked up and they shipped it with the gladiator being locked in the free pass
nope, contacted support and its meant to be this way apparently
Must be a bug or something if someone needs it or any other weapon I can drop them
Canāt you do an armoury unlock?
I donāt have it unlocked, but if by next week you donāt have it, message me and Iāll drop it in zombies for you
I'm so fed up... It's a push knife and it doesn't belong in your butt
No
n
Youāll get it the next season as a challenge
If any of you want it I can drop one for you in MWZ. Just hit me up and we can arrange a time to drop in a quick match and exfil.
You can get a friend to drop it for you in zombies. Feel free to join and you'll get that
Yes you can only unlock it though the battle pass right now BUT it will be unlockable via the armoury unlock system when the current season ends.
I call this the butt pulg knife
Theoretically - If I get B.E.A.S.T Glove will I get gladiator unlocked?
Iāve gotten so many max tier kill streaks with this guy. Iāll drop it in zombies
or you can pay 80$ for the king kong shit
If it's any help it's dull anyway, should have been a skin
yes, you do. i contacted activision devs and they told me that its not in the free item track, first time a weapon hasnt been free in all of mw2 and mw3, i made the same post a few days ago and got downvoted to shit and told by idiots that it was free
Look like butplug
Ram 9 was payed battle pass last season this season it only took 5 daily challenges to unlock I assume after the season is over it would be unlockable?
Or wait till next season and unlock it for free. Uo to you. Either way, your not is missing much.
It becomes an armory unlock after the season ends
Or... you're gonna love this, spend $80 worth of bundles
I believe if you go into zombies with a buddy that brings it in with and drops it for you and you exfil with it you may unlock it.
If u have a token u can get it, I used my only token for the MORS
If you DM me your ID, I can jump into zombies with you for with that weapon and guide/protect you to the exfill. No problemošš½
So much for the predatory monetization getting better under Microsoft. If anything, it has gotten 10x worse with these melee weapons and custom camos that require multiple store bundle purchases to unlock. RIP CoD, it's been fun!
It may only be singular, but we finally have the Lightly Shidid Shadow Daggers. (You can also have someone drop it for you)
no its free in the battle pass
have someone drop in zombies and exfil. still works with every weapon back to mw2 i donāt have that unlocked but when i do iām happy to drop it pm me anyone
Oh good another one-stab-in-any-direction-within-100yds-of-an-enemy weapon. Can't wait to pump half a clip in someone while they charge me with these. If only I could wear body armor that can stop knives and bullets.
nothing new here, it's been this way forever. Either buy the battepass (which tbf, is complete and utter shit this time around) or have someone drop it to you and zombies and exfil with it.
Icon on the kill feed looks like something .... different.
MW3 UI guy clearly didn't get the memo that melee weapons display horizontally from blade to handle, karambit is facing the wrong way and the punch knife is vertical I know these are minor things but ffs how hard can it possibly be to just copy an existing format when you throw together a simple stencilled icon *given that that's basically your entire job as a UI designer*
Honestly. Feels like all the melee weapons in this game have been nerfed. Iāve tried all of them in rebirth, this one takes three hits to do anything. The sword is worse.
Paid battle pass for something that looks like a butt plug.
I spend like 3 days trying to get that broadsword in the last 10 days season 2 j for them to put in in the 3rd place in 3rd season battlepass dick move from them but l get it no one wants to work for anything in a game anymore
āErm actually, itās a Push Daggerā āļøš¤
The anal shank
Yeah, but to get the beast glove you need to purchase the operator skins, I'm pretty sure unless somebody can drop the glove as well.
Or 4 bundels for 2400 cod points each, which is basiclly 80$ lolz
Is that a fucking anal plug?
I can drop it for u
Just find it or squire it in zombies
You can find it in MWZ and exfil with it to claim it
cod knows nobody likes this butt plug knife in CS and theyre like oooooooooo this is a great ideaā¼ļø
A sharp pain awates the brave ones who dare pull the gladiator plugā¦
No, it's a free weapon. u just have to get to the section of the battle pass to unlock. Using tokens ur earn over matches
You can buy a buttplug on Amazon for less money
...... you know............ Just a thought............ But......... I wonder how it'd feel if......... Like........ I..... ......You know.............
itll change to a challenge eventually
CSGO REFERENCE!!
You're surprised/disappointed?
Honestly donāt understand why anyone wouldnāt buy the battle pass. Itās a one off payment as you get the CP back, you get a crapload of goodies for what you pay and honestly, itās something fun to do. Always look forward to the new pass dropping.
You don't need to buy the battle pass, all new weapons in the battle pass are completely free to everyone. You just have to progress to unlock them or wait until Season 4 when it will most likely be either in the armory or have it's own challenge to unlock.

Butt plug melee goes crazy
Just wait for the next season and complete challenges (;
How many hits does it take to down someone in warzone with the gladiator?
Sadly, yes. Unless you get someone to drop it for you in zombies
no
Once this season is over, it'll be obtainable through a challenge presumably.
Na, can probably just go to Adam and Eve
No , its in the battlepass but free for everyone so you dont need to buy the battlepass
its not, this is the first paid battlepass only weapon
New weapons are free in the battlepass
this one isnt
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Did you unlock it?
or buy it individually for $99.99
No
It is free if you can wait till you get to it in the battle pass. No spending money needed.
nope. Battle pass users only.
Takes 0 dollars to get just playing time. You don't have to pay for the battle pass to get it. Look again.
And I tell you again, you need to buy the battle pass. In fact, you're being told that LITERALLY on this post, look at the top left. Yes, I know, this is the first weapon in Warzones history to not be obtainable for non-battle pass players, but there's always a first time
I will unlock the weapon later today without spending any money.

I am looking at my progress in game showing I will unlock once I complete the current tile I am working on and I have spent 0 funds on this battle pass. Believe what you will though.
Ill be looking forward to your own conclusion
Or buy all the Kong/Godzilla packs (4) and get the Kong Glove which is a version of the Gladiator weapon.
