How to equip and use the Knife in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 — the long-awaited new installment of the famous shooter, which this time takes players into the exciting world of Middle Eastern conflicts. As in previous games in the series, you can expect an engaging Zombies mode and various multiplayer modes that will provide a lot of adrenaline and unforgettable moments.

However, despite the return of many familiar elements, the developers did not stop there and tried to introduce fresh ideas and innovations. One of these innovations is the full use of the knife in combat — now it is not just an auxiliary weapon, but a powerful tool capable of changing the course of the battle.

Let's take a closer look at how to properly equip the knife and use it with maximum efficiency. From precise strikes to stealth attacks — learn all the intricacies of wielding this deadly weapon and become a master of close combat in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

To use the knife in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, you will first need to level up your profile to level four, which can be done at the very beginning of the game. Once this is done, you can activate the knife by pressing and holding the melee attack button for a few seconds. The knife will appear in your hands, ready for use.

According to the standard control settings, the buttons for melee attack are assigned to the following values:

If you want your character to take the main weapon back in hand, you will either need to hold the melee attack button again or press the key responsible for the firearm attack. This way, you can quickly switch between the knife and the weapon, adapting to different combat situations and effectively responding to threats.

If you have equipped the knife, your character will move slightly faster, giving you a significant advantage in combat. Now you can suddenly jump out at the enemy while running and strike him with the knife, catching the enemy by surprise.

To strike the enemy, simply press the corresponding standard button. In most cases, it will take only one precise hit to neutralize the enemy. This makes the knife an excellent replacement for a firearm, especially when you run out of ammo.

The knife is also ideal for maintaining camouflage when using the Sleeper Agent perk. Using standard weapons reduces the chance of being exposed as an enemy, allowing you to remain unnoticed and effectively eliminate targets. Thus, the knife becomes not only a powerful melee weapon but also an important element of stealth movement tactics.
