There’s something uniquely intimidating about charging at an enemy with a curved blade that looks like it was ripped straight from a horror movie. The Sickle has always had that kind of presence in Call of Duty Mobile, and five years after its initial debut, it’s back to haunt loadouts once again. Originally the star of a 2021 seasonal challenge, this one-hit-kill melee weapon has aged like fine wine, retaining its lightning-fast lunge and that satisfying thwack on contact. Let’s be real—no matter how many futuristic blades or energy swords get added, nothing beats the raw, old-school menace of a sharpened farming tool. Players who missed out the first time now have a fresh opportunity to unlock it through the all-new Razor Sharp Legacy Challenge, a nod to the original event but with a few modern twists.

This limited-time challenge is part of Season 4: Reforged Steel, and like its predecessor, it demands a mix of multiplayer finesse and Battle Royale guts. The Sickle isn’t just handed out for showing up—you’ll need to grind through seven sequential tasks, each unlocking a new reward while pushing you closer to the main prize. Below is the complete breakdown of what’s required. Tip: double-check your perk selections before diving in; nothing stings worse than completing a match only to realize you forgot Dead Silence.

Task Reward
Play 3 MP Matches 200 Credits, 1000 Battle Pass XP
Kill 15 Enemies in MP Matches with Dead Silence Perk Equipped 10 Weapon XP Cards, 2000 Battle Pass XP
Kill 20 Enemies in MP Matches with Quick Fix Perk Equipped FHJ-18 – Carrion, 3000 Battle Pass XP
Kill 5 Enemies with Melee Weapons S36 – Carrion, 4000 Battle Pass XP
Earn the Melee Master Medal once in BR Matches (Excluding Warfare) Punk Skull Spray, 4000 Battle Pass XP
Kill the Same Player 3 Times in MP Matches Twice Sickle, 1000 Battle Pass XP
Earn the Relentless Medal once in MP Matches Moon Mesas Calling Card, 6000 Battle Pass XP

The sixth step is where the sickle finally drops, but the seventh task – a bonus round – rewards a rare animated calling card featuring the Moon Mesas design. Keep in mind the objectives must be tackled in order; you can’t skip ahead. It’s a classic “last hit wins” setup that rewards patience. Once you’ve checked off that Relentless Medal, the weapon permanently joins your inventory.

Now for the fun part—equipping your new toy. In Multiplayer, it’s straightforward. Head to your loadout screen, select a custom class, and tap the secondary weapon slot. Melee weapons now live in their own category, so scroll down past the pistols and launchers until you spot the sickle’s icon. Give it a tap, and you’re ready to carve. For Battle Royale, the process is slightly different. From the main menu, jump into the BR lobby and open the loadout menu at the bottom of the screen. You’ll find the melee slot right next to your class pick—swipe left or right until the sickle appears, then confirm. Just be warned: running into a gunfight with only a blade takes guts, and the sickle makes a statement. You know the drill—one swing and it’s a wrap.

Whether you’re a veteran who remembers the 2021 Razor Sharp grind or a newcomer wondering what all the hype is about, the sickle remains a lethal equalizer. It doesn’t care about meta shifts or balance patches—it’s always a one-tap menace. So, has the sickle earned a spot in your loadout? Pop your thoughts in the comments below, and happy hunting.
