How to unlock Gladiator in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone

Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 introduced the Gladiator melee. Here's how you'll gain access to the weapon now that Season 3 is over.

Modern Warfare 3's third season introduced four new weapons to the game's vast weapon pool. Players can earn classic favorites – the BAL-27 assault rifle and the MORS sniper rifle – while also getting two new weapons, the FJX Horus and the Gladiator melee.

The Gladiator is an interesting melee choice, as it ditches the conventional appearance of a sword or knife for a smaller punching knife. This is sure to run rampant in lobbies, as players look to dominate smaller maps with the hilarious little blade.

That said, the previous season of Modern Warfare 3 required players to reach Sector 15 in the Season 3 Battle Pass to unlock the Gladiator. Now that the season is over, you will need to unlock it via the Armory unlock system by completing five daily challenges.

These challenges can be completed in any main mode of CoD. It also has six levels to go through and is described as follows:

“Close combat has never been so fast and painful, with the Gladiator rivaling the Karambit in terms of mobility, maneuverability and supreme damage potential. Cut straight to the bone with speed and ease, but make sure you're close enough to make your killing blows count.
