Is the Gladiator good in MW3 Warzone?
Although most melee weapons require players to get up close and personal with the opposition, some possess different characteristics from others.
In the case of the Gladiator, Sledgehammer Games has made comparisons to the Karambit, a small knife capable of eliminating nearby players with ease. In a recent blog post, the devs say: “Close combat was never so quick and painful, with the Gladiator rivalling the Karambit for supreme mobility, handling, and damage potential."
