There are hundreds of varieties of finishers in Warzone, but luckily, actually doing one is very simple — easier even than melting them with thebest meta loadouts.

Then, you have to sneak up behind your foe and press and hold the melee button — this is usually a click ofR3 on Xbox and PlayStation, orV on PC, if you haven’tchanged your settings.
The important factor here is tohold the button down. If you just press it in, you’ll end up hitting the enemy with a regular melee, allowing them to turn around and take you out, or even just kill your vibe from a failed finisher attempt.
