Call of Duty: How to Equip and Use the Knife in Black Ops 6

Unlike previous Call of Duty games, Black Ops 6 doesn't require you to pick up a combat knife or other melee weapon in a secondary slot. Instead, Black Ops 6 allows you to remove your knife from the designated melee category. It helps you run faster, allows you to get melee kills, and just looks cool. But the game doesn't actually tell you how to equip it until you dig. So, we did the digging for you.

• Using the knife in Black Ops 6 is actually pretty simple. When you press the melee button, you swing your weapon. Just don't press it.
• Hold down the melee button. In our case, it's the right-stick since we're using a PlayStation 5 controller. If you're on PC, check what your keybinds are set to.
• When you take it out, you'll notice a boost in speed and of course, the ability to cut down your enemies with it. It's not the most useful method unless you're sneaking up behind someone, but there's nothing more satisfying than a melee kill in Call of Duty.

Are there other melee weapons in Black Ops 6?

At the time of writing, the knife is the only melee weapon you can equip and take out in Black Ops 6. This is because it's currently in its Open Beta period.

Once the full game arrives, we should know more about any other melee weapons. If you go into a custom loadout, you can select the melee category and even add aesthetics to the knife. So, expect other melee weapons to be added, with their own speed and attack stats.
