How to unlock Executioner’s Duet in Black Ops 7 and Warzone

The Executioner’s Duet is a new dual-axe melee weapon arriving in Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded. You can unlock it through the free track of the Nick Cage Event Pass by earning XP and progressing through event tiers.

No Call of Duty Points (CP) are required to obtain the new melee weapon. Here’s how you can get the Executioner’s Duet fast, along with how it compares to other melee weapons and its Prestige Camos.

How to unlock Executioner’s Duet fast in BO7 and Warzone

The quickest way to unlock the Executioner’s Duet is by earning as much XP as possible during the Nick Cage Event in Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded. In BO7, I’d recommend focusing on objective-focused Multiplayer modes such as Domination and Hardpoint since they reward both eliminations and objective play. Warzone players can speed up progression by completing Contracts and playing Resurgence matches, which consistently generate large amounts of XP.

Daily and weekly challenges give major boost and become even more effective when paired with Double XP Tokens. If you prefer to skip the grind, you may see an Executioner’s Duet blueprint appear in a store bundle after the mid-season update, which would instantly unlock the weapon. If you miss the event, the melee weapon is expected to become available later through Armory Challenges.

Along with the Executioner’s Duet, the Nick Cage Event Pass Free Track also features the returning AN-94 assault rifle, XP Tokens, and cosmetic rewards, while the Premium Track includes the Nick Cage operator and his skin, weapon blueprints, and additional cosmetics.

How does the Executioner’s Duet compare to other melee weapons in BO7 & Warzone?

The Executioner’s Duet focuses on mobility and aggressive close-range combat in Black Ops 7 and Warzone. Wielding an axe in each hand, you can chain together rapid slashing attacks to eliminate enemies quickly.

While it has the shortest attack range among current melee weapons, it compensates with the highest mobility rating. So, it’s ideal for players who excel at closing the gap and staying mobile during engagements.

The Executioner’s Duet includes exclusive camos that you can obtain through Weapon Prestige progression:

All Prestige Camos are universal unlocks, allowing them to be equipped on other weapons once earned.
