Specialized close-range armaments remain a staple in Call of Duty, with the Pickaxe joining the arsenal in Black Ops 6 and Warzone. While slower than typical weapons, its extended reach offers tactical advantages. Acquiring this tool requires minimal effort—here’s the method.

Acquiring the Pickaxe melee weapon in Black Ops 6 and Warzone

During Season 04’s debut, the mining tool ranks as the penultimate prize in the limited-time Beavis and Butthead collaboration event. With nine progression tiers, advancement occurs through XP accumulation across any game mode. Reaching the eighth tier demands roughly 220,000-250,000 XP through standard gameplay. Efficient farming strategies exist to expedite this process.

Warzone’s Plunder mode emerges as the optimal XP source due to its respawn mechanics and open-ended structure. Focusing on resource gathering rather than elimination minimizes risks while maximizing earnings. Successful matches typically yield up to 30,000-50,000 XP, potentially unlocking the tool within five sessions.

Multiplayer enthusiasts can prioritize Face Off matches on Strike maps for rapid progression. While individual match XP gains appear lower (8,000-12,000), condensed match durations enable comparable efficiency to Warzone’s methods. Completing this challenge grants access to the iconic Olympia shotgun in subsequent tiers.
