Want to unlock unique melee weapons in Battlefield 5? You’ll need to hunt down all the collectible letters in each War Story campaign. The singleplayer story might be short, and there aren’t any achievements / trophies to unlock for grabbing every letter, but it’s still worth it if you want to expand your melee weapon selection.
The weapons can be added to your multiplayer loadout. You’ll get a Cricket Bat, Soveig’s Knife, and the Coupe Coupe machete. They’re all pretty cool. You’ll unlock one melee weapon for each campaign — you’ll need to complete all the challenges, and get all the hidden letters. Letters are (usually) the hardest things to find. You’ll need to search every corner of the map to get them all, and some of them are pretty well hidden.
