As such, here is everything you need to know about the new melee weapon slot and how this will change up the Black Ops 6s and Warzone experience.
How to use the melee weapon slot in Black Ops 6 & Warzone
When creating your loadout in Black Ops 6 and Warzone, players can now access a melee slot to equip any of the close-quarters weapons included in each title.
In recentCall of Dutyentries, your melee weapon would take up the Secondary slot of your loadout, meaning you’d have to sacrifice a second gun if you wanted to go pedal to the metal with up-close and personal combat.
Therefore, players will now once again be able to equip a Primary, Secondary, and Melee weapon all in one loadout.
To use your melee weapon during a match, simply hold down the melee button to access your weapon.
This button can be activated at any time, meaning you can easily use your dedicated melee weapon, similar to your Primary and Secondary guns.
This new feature will be included in Black Ops 6 from launch and added into Warzone when integrated with BO6 via the Season 1 update.
