Contents hide How to use the Knife in Black Ops 6 Can you upgrade your Knife in Black Ops 6?The Knife is a long-standing weapon in the Call of Duty franchise dating all the way back to 2007’s Modern Warfare. There hasn’t been a set standard as to when the Knife is unlocked, with some games such as Infinite Warfare requiring players to reach all the way to level 37 to be able to use the Combat Knife. Thankfully, that isn’t the case with Black Ops 6 as the Knife is already unlocked at level 1. The knife is a high-risk, high-reward melee weapon in Call of Duty Black Ops 6. If you can sneak up on your opponent, you can take them down instantly, but it does leave you exposed to gunfire without the means to defend yourself in time due to the relatively quick time-to-kill. The default melee button in Black Ops 6 uses the gun stock or fists to hit, so how to get the knife out and use it remains a mystery for some players. We’ll explain how it works.
How to use the Knife in Black Ops 6
The Knife can one hit kill your opponents. Image captured by VideoGamerTo use the Knife, you need to hold your Melee button, which is set as V by default on keyboard or R3/RS on your controller, this will then equip your Knife and you will carry it instead of your gun. Quick-tapping the button will instead use the default melee hit, without using the Knife. To use the Knife, press your fire button while you have it equipped in your hand, which is Mouse 1 and R2/RT by default. If you are able to get close enough to your opponent to land a strike, it will be a one-hit kill. You will also be able to perform a Finishing Move if you are behind your opponent too, which is a more flashy death animation.
You must equip your knife to use it, otherwise you will melee attack with the butt of your gun.
Can you upgrade your Knife in Black Ops 6?
You can only add Cosmetics to the Knife. Image captured by VideoGamerLike other weapons in Black Ops 6, you can use the Gunsmith option on the Knife. However, this only allows you to attach cosmetics such as casmos, charms, decals, and stickers to the knife. As the Knife is a one-hit kill there isn’t any way you could improve it (or add a scope to it for that matter).
