How to Unlock the Cleaver in Black Ops 6: A Complete Guide for SEO
The Cleaver, the newest melee weapon in Black Ops 6, is quite lethal and brings a fresh change to the gameplay. But its unlock method has been a mystery for many players.
New Weapons in Season 1 Reloaded Update
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's Season 1 Reloaded update introduces three new weapons. Among them, two are primary weapons, namely the Maelstrom shotgun and the AMR Mod 4 sniper rifle, while the Cleaver is the melee weapon. We already have an idea about how to unlock the Maelstrom (through Merry Mayhem) and the AMR Mod 4 (in Archie's Festival Frenzy), yet the unlock process for the Cleaver remains unclear.
The Cleaver's Features in Multiplayer
In multiplayer mode, the Cleaver is a one-shot kill melee weapon, which offers a nice alternative to the Baseball Bat. It has a medium attack speed, making it fairly useful on smaller maps like Stakeout and Nuketown. However, you first need to unlock it to enjoy its perks.
Unlock Method for the Cleaver
According to the recent Season 1 Reloaded blog post by Activision, all three new weapons are unlocked through events. While we know the specific events for the other two weapons, for the Cleaver, all we know is that it will also be unlocked through an event. There's no mention of which event it will be or exactly how it will be unlocked within that event. It's unlikely that the Cleaver will be part of the first two holiday events in Season 1 Reloaded since those are dedicated to the other two weapons. This leaves the potential Squid Games event in Black Ops 6 as a likely candidate for the Cleaver's unlock event.
The Squid Games Event
The popular Netflix show, Squid Games, is collaborating with Call of Duty for a crossover in Season 1 sometime in January. Although the start date is redacted in the blog post and Archie's Festival Frenzy ends on Jan. 3, it's expected that the Squid Games event will start after that. Besides introducing limited-time modes in Black Ops 6, it will also bring exclusive cosmetics from the show. In all probability, the Cleaver will be the main unlock prize in this event. However, as we don't know how the event will operate, we can't precisely say how the Cleaver will be unlocked.
