How to unlock the bat in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone

The mace will be a new melee weapon for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Warzone players will unlock after the game's Season Four Reloaded update. The Reloaded phase of any Call of Duty season appears right in the middle, giving players various new content to hold on to during the second half of a season. The mace will be available after July 15th, but you will have to work to unlock it.

There are two ways to unlock this item when it arrives. The first, most direct method of unlocking the club is to purchase the blueprint for the item in the CoD shop. It gives you access to the blueprint for the mace and gives you access to an exclusive skin for that weapon. You can also access the standard weapon and use it on any of your operators to place it in one of your loadouts. You will need to spend real money in the CoD store unless you already have enough CoD points to purchase the club pack called Mystic's Scepter Store Bundle.

The alternative is to complete a challenge in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War multiplayer modes or in Call of Duty: Warzone matches for the base weapon.

Multiplayer and Warzone Unlock Challenge

The Black Ops Cold War and Warzone multiplayer challenge to unlock the bat reads: "Using a melee weapon, get a kill as you slide through 15 different completed matches." Remember that the challenge requires you to perform a melee kill in “different matches”, which means that getting more than one kill with your melee weapon in a single match will still only count as a notch for the challenge.

Zombie Unlock Challenge

You can also unlock the Mace through a challenge with a zombie-specific weapon - the challenge reads: "Using a melee weapon, kill 50 special or elite enemies who are taunted by your Raging Guard." Frenzied Guard is a field upgrade that you can equip on a piece of equipment. Special and Elite enemies include Mimics, Tempests, Manglers, Megatons, and Krasney Soldat.
