How To Unlock The Tonfa In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0
While the two other weapons added in Season 4 were placed in the Battle Pass, the Tonfa melee weapon requires not just the individual players but the entire community to come together and complete a pretty big challenge to unlock it. The Tonfa is the final community reward in the Assault on Vondel Event that will be active from the start of Season 4 on June 14 to July 7. This Event is a series of challenges that players will need to complete to earn Medals. These Medals will be added to your personal total to go towards rewards while also being added to the community total of Medals which will unlock things for the entire player base. You can check out Gameranx’s full breakdown of the Assault on Vondel Event here.
When the community reaches certain milestones of total Medals earned, new mechanics will be added to the new Warzone map, Vondel. After these three features are unlocked, the community will need to reach the fourth milestone to unlock the Tonfa. The Medal milestone that the community needs to reach to unlock the Tonfa is 500 million total Medals. When that milestone is reached, every player will get the Tonfa melee weapon for free.
While this event will unlock the Tonfa for everyone, there is actually a secret way to get the weapon early. Along with the collection of challenges you can see in the Assault on Vondel event, there is also a set of secret challenges that will reward players with new items like cosmetics and Operators. One of these challenges will unlock the Lion’s Share Blueprint for the Tonfa, unlocking the melee weapon early. This challenge tasks players with getting 25 melee Operator kills on the Vondel map. Since this challenge is only available on Vondel, this challenge is only available in Warzone but can be used in both games. Players in DMZ can also extract the weapon if they loot it from another player or have a teammate drop it for them.
