MW3 and Warzone: How to Unlock the Sledgehammer

An MW3 and Warzone mid-season content drop means that new weapons have been added to the loot pool and one of those options is a Sledgehammer.

Melee weapons aren’t the most effective pieces of equipment to take to battle, but they’re certainly fun to use. On small maps such as Shipment and Meat, for example, you can cause chaos with the Sledgehammer.
