Season 4 Week 5’s Weekly Challenges will get your hands dirty with its Melee-based requirements. But it’s all worth it to get the new weapon, the deadly Sledgehammer. This powerful tool, with its 20-pound carbon steel head, can unleash a devastating attack. If you’re up for the task, here are all the MW3 and Warzone Season 4 Week 5 challenges.
All MW3 Season 4 Week 5 challenges
Almost all of Modern Warfare 3’s Season 4 Week 5 challenges require close-quarters-combat. That means you’ll have to rely more on the strength of your hands rather than weaponry. To succeed, consider using stealth to get close to your enemies or using the environment to your advantage.
| Challenges | How to complete them | Required Weapons | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Get 30 Operator Assists | Help out fellow teammates with a kill. | N/A | 2,500 XP |
| Get 15 Operator One Shot One Kills with Recommended Shotgun | Try to get up close and personal for an instant kill. | Reclaimer 18 or Riveter | 5,000 XP |
| Get 10 Operator Kills with the Gun-Butt of a Recommended Weapon | Perform a melee attack with a gun. | Any Recommended Weapon | 5,000 XP |
| Get 12 Operator Kills with Claymores, Proximity Mines, or C4 | Use one of the items from your Lethal equipment. | Use the designated equipment | 5,000 XP |
| Get three Operator Melee Double Kills | Get two consecutive kills using melee only. | N/A | 5,000 XP |
| Perform three Finishing Moves on Enemy Operators | Go behind an enemy and hit the melee button. | N/A | 7,500 XP |
| Get two Operator Fury Kills with a Recommended Weapon | A Fury Kill requires eliminating four opponents or more in a measly few seconds. You may want to use weapons with higher rounds, like LMGs and Assault Rifles. Or, equip attachments to increase it further. | Any Recommended Weapon | 10,000 XP |
All MW3 Zombies Season 4 Week 5 challenges
Adding to the challenge, MW3 Zombies will also join the melee combat tasks. The enemies, especially those with formidable armor, will be tougher to defeat here. But fear not; you can use the Low Threat Zone to make it more accessible.
| Challenges | How to complete them | Required Weapons | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complete 10 Contracts | To make things easier, you can achieve Contracts in the Low Threat Level zones. But, if you want better rewards, go for the ones in the Medium or High areas. | N/A | 2,500 XP |
| Get 75 Kills with the Gun-Butt of a Recommended Weapon | Use the melee button on an enemy while wielding a gun. | Any Recommended Weapon | 5,000 XP |
| Get 75 kills with Claymores, Proximity Mines, or C4 | Equip one of these items in your Lethal equipment. | Use the designated equipment | 5,000 XP |
| Get 250 1 Shot 1 Kill with a Pack-a-Punched Recommended Shotgun | Wielding a shotgun can be pretty difficult in MW3 Zombies due to the endless hordes. Best to do this task in the Low Threat Zone, taking them down easily with Pack-a-Punch. | Reclaimer 18 or Riveter | 5,000 XP |
| Perform five Finishing Moves on Mercs | Head over to Merc Camps or Strongholds and try to sneak up behind an enemy here. Then, hit the melee button to perform the move. | N/A | 7,500 XP |
| Get 10 Kills without being hit 20 times with a Recommended Melee Weapon | You can basically think of this objective as a Clean Kill, where you don’t take any damage. | Karambit or Gladiator (Sledgehammer also available if you’ve already completed five challenges) | 7,500 XP |
| Get five Rapid Kills 30 times with a Recommended Assault Rifle | Get two or three kills in a few seconds; it should be easy to do with the large zombie hordes. | Bal-27, MTZ-556, Holger 556, M4, Kastov 762, M16, or Kastov 545 | 10,000 XP |
All Warzone Season 4 Week 5 challenges
Warzone’s Season 4 Week 5 challenges have stepped away from the Urzikstan map. This time, we must head to Fortune’s Keep, taking down enemies in specific locations.

Complete any five challenges above in MW3, Zombies, and Warzone to earn the Sledgehammer Melee weapon. It holds a 20-pound carbon steel head, unleashing a brutal attack on anyone who stands in your way. Like most Melee tools, it excels in Damage, Mobility, and Handling stats, making it a formidable weapon in close-quarters combat.
The Sledgehammer also comes with multiple moves, such as an overhead, pole butt, and basic swing attack. Once you’ve unlocked this weapon, you can participate in Sledgehammer-specific challenges to earn the new Dubs Dubs Dubs weapon camo.
