Best ways to quickly unlock this melee weapon

For the fastest method, we recommend playing the Hardcore playlist, particularly the Hardcore Face Off Mosh Pit. This mode’s fast-paced gameplay, combined with smaller maps and the ability to secure eliminations with fewer bullets, makes it ideal for racking up kills and earning skulls efficiently.

If you prefer standard health settings, opt for the Face Off Mosh Pit or 10v10 Mosh Pit playlists, where gunfights still provide ample opportunities to secure eliminations at a steady pace.

For players focusing exclusively on Warzone, we recommend playing on Resurgence mode. With compact maps like Area 99 and Rebirth Island, these matches encourage high-intensity engagements, allowing you to quickly accumulate eliminations.
