Call of Duty's Season 5 Reloaded update is now live in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, bringing more game modes, seasonal challenges, and new events. The update also adds the spear melee weapon. Here we'll guide you through all the ways to unlock this new weapon.
Season 5 Reloaded lets you channel your inner Spartan, with this new spear melee weapon that you can use to either jab with melee reach or throw at your opponents. With this weapon equipped, you'll load into matches with three throwable spears, and these can be recollected after you've thrown them.
The spear is included as part of a new bonus challenge sector in the Season 5 battle pass, which includes a series of challenges that need to be completed to unlock the weapon.
The challenges can be completed in multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone.
Sector 1 challenge: Get 10 operator or special zombies melee kills
Reward: Win it all - Large weapon decal
Sector 2 challenge: Get three operator or special zombies kills with throwing knives
Reward: Coined Champion - Emblem
Sector 3 challenge: Get three operator melee backstab kills or special zombies kills
Reward: 1-hour double XP token
Sector 4 challenge: Get three operator or special zombies with the butt of a gun
Reward: Overtime - Weapon sticker
Sector 5 challenge: Get five operator or special zombies crouched melee kills
Reward: Unlocks the spear melee weapon
The first four sectors can be completed in any order, but they all must be completed to unlock the fifth and final sector challenge for the spear unlock. For Zombies mode challenges, the special zombies are the enemy types such as Mimics, Manglers, and Disciples.
The spear can also be unlocked through a successful exfil in Zombies. If a friend already has this new melee weapon already, just invite them to play a round of Zombies with the spear as their insured weapon. They can drop the spear for you to pick up at the start of the match, and then you just need to successfully exfil with it. You might even get lucky and loot an enemy player who has this weapon equipped. This Zombies unlock method works for any weapon in the game.
Store bundles usually offer an additional way to gain access to the new DLC weapons, but a bundle is currently not available for the spear yet. One may become available at a later date.
The midseason update also introduces a new launcher, and here's our guide to unlocking Season 5's new Torque 35.
