The Gladiator is a new melee weapon added to Season 3 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, and is a punch knife that is similar to the Karambit in size, damage, and mobility. Here is how to get the Gladiator in MW3 and Warzone.
How to Unlock Gladiator in MW3 and Warzone
Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone players can get the Gladiator melee weapon by completing Sector 15 of the Season 3 Battle Pass. Each sector contains five rewards, and unlocking all rewards in one sector will open up one or multiple sectors connected to it.
Each sector in the Season 3 Battle Pass requires five Battle Token Tier Skips to complete. Sector 15 is relatively far away from the Sector 1 starting point and will require 35 Battle Token Tier Skips to get the Gladiator. The critical path to the weapon means following the bottom sectors of the pass, which will also unlock the MORS sniper rifle along the way.
Battle Token Tier Skips can be earned by playing any multiplayer game modes across Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, MW3 Zombies mode, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. Earning XP will reward you with more Tier Skips, though the skips can be purchased individually or given by buying the BlackCell Battle Pass Bundle.
However, players do not need to purchase the Season 3 Battle Pass to earn the Gladiator. The weapon is a free unlock for all players that reach it. Purchasing the Battle Pass for 1,100 COD Points will give a 10% boost to XP that will help earn Battle Token Tier Skips faster. The melee weapon will be available to unlock once Season 3 is over, but will require a different challenge.
