Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Season 4 Reloaded update has introduced a new melee weapon, Sledgehammer, to the game that can send enemies flying on impact in Zombies mode. The mid-season update went live on June 26 and brought an array of new content to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and other Call of Duty titles.

As a first-person shooter, Call of Duty is mostly about guns, grenades, and ammunition. But, the newly added Sledgehammer in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's arsenal, which can be unlocked by completing certain challenges, has an amusing hidden trait that may push players to use it more often. This particular trait comes into play in Zombies mode and makes the melee weapon a treat to use against the undead.

Sniper Rifles have incredible power for those who have the skill to use them, and Modern Warfare 3 unlocks great potential for those who enjoy them.

In a rising Reddit post, user vonlist has showcased an effective way to deploy the Sledgehammer in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Zombies mode. The video shows the player striking enemies with the hammer and launching them far away in the process. It's worth noting that a single hit seems to put down the zombies for good, with certain well-placed strikes even causing them to turn into pulp. Moreover, this unique Sledgehammer attribute ensures that the weapon not only deals high damage, but also helps clear the player's perimeter by sending the immediate enemy flying. The over-the-top effect also fits perfectly into the surreal Zombies mode.

Players can use three different ways to attack with the Sledgehammer, which include overhead attack, normal swings, and pole-butting attack. They can also claim the Dubs Dubs Dubs weapon skin for it by doing Sledgehammer-related challenges. Once Season 4 bows out, the melee weapon will move into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Armory Unlock system.

The funny compilation of zombies getting Sledgehammer-ed has attracted the interest of some Call of Duty players on Reddit, who chipped in with their own remarks. While one of the users called the clip "beautiful" to watch, another declared, "Amazing…[sic] I can’t look away." Another user wished for a "goofy yell" to be added for when the zombies are launched into the distance by the Sledgehammer.

Apart from the zombie-crushing Sledgehammer, Call of Duty's Season 4 Reloaded update also added Reclaimer 18 Shotgun to the FPS game. There is also a range of different packs to purchase, which offer operator skins, weapon blueprints, XP boosts, and the like. Additionally, there are a number of limited-time events and weekly challenges taking place in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 throughout the season.
