Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has added a seventh melee weapon to the game as part of an update just before the end of Season 4. Players can grab it via in-game challenge or Store bundle.

Mace Melee weapon in Black Ops

Mace is a two-handed melee weapon, described as “much more than a ceremonial symbol of authority” that was “forged ages ago for one purpose” and “the power of this mace persists.” Essentially, it’s a really heavy and long hammer-like stick effective in crushing bones.

The Mace operates similar to any other melee weapon in the game. It allows players to get a kill in one hit, as against the multiple regular melee attacks with a gun-butt. Just like all of the other post-launch weapons, there’s a challenge to unlock it for usage.

How to unlock the Mace in Black Ops Cold War

In order to unlock the Mace, players must use a melee weapon and score a kill while sliding in 15 different completed matches. They will need to equip a knife or any other melee weapon and start sliding directly at people.

The aim is to ensure killing all in one fell swoop. Ideally, gamers should head into respawn game modes on smaller maps and try their best to catch enemies off guard.

Melee weapons are one-hit kills, but they will still need to get up close. Hence, stealth will often be the best option. Also, the matches have to finish for the challenge to progress to count.

Alternatively, gamers can purchase the Mystic’s Scepter bundle in the in-game store. It includes the Spellcaster blueprint for the Mace, along with a bunch of other stuff, like an Operator skin for Powers and two battle pass tier skips.
