If Elon or Jeff wanted it, I'm sure they would not notice their millisecond drop in their Net Worth. And, gotta admit, the Glove is Kewl! (picked up one once...)
I really don't hope this not being in the battle pass is a way for Activision to slowly start doing this with guns or other weapons too to sell more battle passes. If there's a way to unlock it after the season, I don't really mind it because it's just a melee weapon, but even for guns this method would suck so much.
At first you say you hope Activision releases weapons like this in the paid version of the battle pass, and then you say you it sucks that you have to pay for it. I’m assuming that’s what you mean and I agree that they need to avoid doing this. At the same time though, the paid version of the battle pass isn’t really even “paid” because you earn your money back if you play enough. It’s more like wagering your points to get a reward that you will in fact get for free if you play enough
I'd only be against this weapon not being included in the free pass if it was crazy broken, and if there was no alternative way of unlocking it. Me myself I unlocked the soulrender in MWZ by just finding it while looting, didn't even have to complete the challenges. Worse was the M13B when it was a DMZ Boss exclusive reward. I didn't get that bad boy until way later when I looted from a dead player. THAT was a pain, having in mind that the M13B is until now the best overall performing MW2 weapon, competing hard with the MW3 weapons too (losing cuz of visual recoil but they're catching up to speed.
Thanks for being price conscious. I kinda pick and choose my battle passes and since we're having a baby soon I prob wont have time to complete this season. I'll just wait for next season and grind it or skip it all together.
Congratz on the baby! As a gift, I could drop it for you on the MWZ whenever we both have availability, if you put down your discord username I'll send you a PM to set it up if you are okay with that
Hey xclusive ace, big fan here. Just thought I should mention that that I've done some testing of my own and noticed that the beast glove does have a statistical advantage to some extent. The only thing i was able to test was its weapon swap speed. Using both the gladiator and beast glove with a riot shield and timing the swap, the beast glove seems to swap a bit faster. Lunge also seems further than the gladiator, but i can't confirm that yet.
@TearsOfHeroin I'm guessing this is sarcasm, but ace clearly hasn't done any testing with the glove as he never bought it and just assumed that it was purely cosmetic just as I did when first buying it. I tested in 120fps and the weapon swap speed difference was noticeable so..
Thank you for this video! I had some concerns with the gladiator v karambit, but you went into deep detail and answered questions I didn’t know I had! Awesome work, keep it up!
Hey ace recently when i get stuck with a EMP tracker, it gives me prompt to remove tracker, i execute the prompt but the text on my screen never leaves even after death....? Does this mean the tracker is bugged and staying on me permanently after stuck? Or is it gone, i just still have the text for the rest of the match? I wanted to specifically ask you, because out of all the creators out there, your the best when it comes to this type of stuff.
Ace can you please talk about the deplorable state of gunfight right now? They haven’t updated the loadouts since launch and it’s my friends and I’s favorite mode. I’ve run split screen gunfight with them since its inception in 2019. So sad to see it has been forgotten :(
In shipment I’ve gotten 5 kills in a row with the gladiator where they were stacked on top of each other and it was quick as hell. Just threw a couple smokes into their spawn
What would you think of a Vest addition that works similar to the "Focus Sash" and maybe "study", both from the Pokémon game series. It might do a bit more but I'm more interested in the protection against OHK if the player is at full health; leaving the player with 1 HP. I thought it could provide some counter play in certain situations like against melee and snipers. Would it be too strong? Would it completely nerf snipers? Maybe something on a cooldown?
Where do you get the mobility stats at 4:00? I looked at symGG and it said the karambit, gutter knife and gladiator all had identical sprint/tac sprint speeds 🤔
Personally I am seriously concerned that it isn't in a free tier. What I think they are doing is trying to boost battle pass sales, and if they achieve that what else will they be willing to put behind a pay wall in the future?
Did it get nerfed? It seems pretty bad now. That attack delay is super noticeable. Edit: found out it had been buffed and now has a light and heavy attack. The light attack L2 on PS is fast. The default R2 seems slower and heavy but with longer lunge.
Been playing with the soulrender lately, that thing is awesome. Idk feels much better than the normal knifes. You do feel a little bit slower but in genersl i find it the best melee
Can’t believe kodachis suck so much I always wanna use them but damn :( should be just like the sword but quicker 2nd hit because I have two of them but sadly it doesn’t work like that
Between this weapon not being in the free tiers and collections costing a whopping $80, I feel like CoD is getting greedier again. I'm definitely concerned for this getting even worse in future games
Sledgehammer truly hates melee players lol they nerfed the play style so much this year. Only bone they threw us is the soul render. At least some creativity went into it
Ace after watching you since MW 2019 my Head Canon about you is that you’re a Anti-SBMM Dev who is just so good at your job they allow you to make your content despite you constantly talking down on their BIGGEST Revenue Stream but because you don’t put out damaging content they just let you do your thing. Sounds wild but your content is too in depth and consistent for me to believe anything else
man i wished there were like brass knuckles in the game that requires you to punch with both hands to get a really good ttk, or something different like the sword.
the Soulrender is still my favorite because I have the Warhammer 40k chainsword skin and its the most hilariously euphoric feeling possible to shred people with it
Does anyone else experience an issue where if you pick a gun and if you switch it with the gunsmith mid-match but it will still go back to the original gun that you came into the match with?
Have you considered the nerfs they do to the other melee weapens frim time to time you have to re check the other melee again before add them with the new weapen ( just reminder )
If you are within a the lunge range (as shown in this video) and you are aiming within 30 degrees of an enemy when you swing the melee, you will auto lock on and be forcibly moved to the victim for the stab.
Hey Ace, the CS15 Scarlet Box Laser is currently bugged to reduce Hipfire Minimum by 90-100% depending on the gun, and I haven't seen anyone talk about this. I've been getting cross map hipfire kills with this laser on the Bas-B conversion kit.
Hey Xclusive, some months ago you posted a video about thr best MWII weapons against Killstreaks, could you do a same video but for MWIII to know wich weapon is now a Killstreak Killer? (Pulemyot 762 with Conversion + incendiary feels good but i want to know if there is something much better)
He might just buy the pass outright rather than using CoD points you get from the pass. If that's the way he's been doing it for at minimum just two games, rather than spending the 1,100 you get from each pass, that's not a hard amount to come buy in the end.
@@Meravokas I dont know why he would do that though since the only thing that CP are really used for are Bundles/Cosmetic items, and to use real money for COD points you have to go to a separate menu for payment, which is a hassle when you already have the points for it. Battle pass tokens are essentially worthless with how frequent 2XP weekends are. I think he has the CP for possible bundles/skins that he may like in the future.
Hey ace does ur own bouncing Betty deal more damage to urself? I been dying when enemy activities it and runs at me with knife (dealing no damage) and I die while using EOD . Maybe bc it was self inflicted wound ?
Ik its dumb to make the same mistake but I hear it go off and switch from my usual sniper to a knife and run towards enemy and have died to my own Betty plenty of times, while the enemy did no damage sometimes. Which seems like a bug
yeah it's fine for melee weapons but I hope guns don't end up being like this. I say this as somebody who bought the S6 MW2 battlepass and used those Cod Points to buy the MW3 S1-3 battlepasses. It sets a bad precedent, for sure.
Who would’ve thought a small stabby boy shares the same lunge range with a proper sword 😅
It’s all in the wrist
@@vitzel33lmao this made me spit my drink
Considering it’s much smaller, the weirder can move much faster. But the range should be different
Well yeah but it takes longer to cover that distance. Hence the prehit delay.
Its a butt plug
Dropping $80 to get a blueprint is CRAZY
If Elon or Jeff wanted it, I'm sure they would not notice their millisecond drop in their Net Worth. And, gotta admit, the Glove is Kewl! (picked up one once...)
They literraly make more than $80 a millisecond it's nothing
Love the fact that you always post around this time. Perfect videos to pair with my lunch 👌

@@emwols ow shit yeah I meant "I really DON'T hope". I'll edit it.
You can always unlock them after, its just daily challenges. I got bp50 and ram9 that way
That's what I fear
You really don't hope?
I didn't even realize it wasn't free, I already bought the battle pass and maxed it from playing rebirth so much
PLEASE Activision.... Bring back the baseball bat from cold war. Hands down my favorite cod melee of all time. Instant rage inducer 😂
YES YES YES
Yeah, this is how I feel when my team doesn't play the OBJ: ruclips.net/video/QHH9EYZHoVU/видео.html
They are apparently adding a shovel melee! Which was in ww2
First time I used the gladiator, I got a 7 man kill chain while trying out the new gunslinger vest. It's a good little butt plug

I think you're right, Ace's fps is capped at 120 while you might have 540 so you can do more percised tests.

I swear in warzone, you are slightly faster with the beast glove.
@@poordude21 Nah I'm serious, the highest fps monitor I know is 540

I've always used the tonfa 408 kills and counting
Side note I love your content

It’s a push dagger and those never get love in games so I’m just happy it’s there
The push dagger from Vanguard i wish it was a different weapon, but I don't mind it returning
In shipment I’ve gotten 5 kills in a row with the gladiator where they were stacked on top of each other and it was quick as hell. Just threw a couple smokes into their spawn
The tonfas are 3 hit in warzone 2 for the armor plates and 1 for the kill
Don’t forget the fist variant is over 100$
284 ms, I was wondering why I kept dying more with the gladiator on paper it’s not negligible, but when in use those 34ms can be life or death

I completed the battlepass and the Gladiator is still locked for me. Not sure why.
Been waiting on this one 🙌🏾

great stuff , as always
why no thermobaric in depth review?
5:41 gutter knife. Also I'm sure it's a bug. The blog says it's in free battlepass
Been playing with the soulrender lately, that thing is awesome. Idk feels much better than the normal knifes. You do feel a little bit slower but in genersl i find it the best melee
Agreed Soulrender and Karambit are my faves.
Not having to deal with front (or back) riot shields with the Soulrender alone makes it my go to melee.
Can’t believe kodachis suck so much I always wanna use them but damn :( should be just like the sword but quicker 2nd hit because I have two of them but sadly it doesn’t work like that
bro someone talk about the throwing knife melee !!
It was balastic knife in warzone caldera
Between this weapon not being in the free tiers and collections costing a whopping $80, I feel like CoD is getting greedier again. I'm definitely concerned for this getting even worse in future games
Sledgehammer truly hates melee players lol they nerfed the play style so much this year.

Infantry Vest, Lightweight Boots, Stim and Dead Silence. Team Gutter Knife 🔪
not in the free tiers thing is WILD, must be a mistake right?
You have to pay for melee knife what a joke that is.

We don't need another melee weapon.
They literally almost identical
Black Ops 4 had like 11 melee weapons
🎯
I don't know why they put these filler things. Melee weapons are all the same.
Only if it’s the Gorilla Glove
@GrapeApe55 not everyone's broke Lil bro
@GrapeApe55Lol this made me laugh, factual reply.
@@SuperDarkHalo facts lol I bought the Shimu and Godzilla ones only because I LOVE Godzilla. but am in gonna go complete the set? fuck no lol.
Is anyone even bothered about melee weapons? 💀
First
man i wished there were like brass knuckles in the game that requires you to punch with both hands to get a really good ttk, or something different like the sword.
"Spend your money however you want to spend it" is the biggest problem with this franchise right now.
One side says it’s a sex toy…..the other side says it’s a hidden blade like a assassin
The first i thought of when I saw it was a butplug 😂
The first time I seen it in the kill feed I thought it was a butt plug lmao
the Soulrender is still my favorite because I have the Warhammer 40k chainsword skin and its the most hilariously euphoric feeling possible to shred people with it
The soulrender is my favorite because it counters the riot shield. It’s almost a necessity for S&D
The gladiator knife is the best in Warzone tho it hits the fastest other then the tonfa but it 2 hits in Warzone and the movement speed is insane
It’s a melee weapon
And?
*Video ends*
No way, i would never had guessed that
😮
Wow I thought it was a gun… I need to watch the video
Does anyone else experience an issue where if you pick a gun and if you switch it with the gunsmith mid-match but it will still go back to the original gun that you came into the match with?
Why the hell is it a swipe animation and not a stab, considering its literally a PUNCH KNIFE 😂
greetings from switzerland 👋🏼
And if they are sticking permanently, than thats obviously not good. And definitely seems broken af.
I hate shooting people in the chest and they still can just knife me back while running through bullets.
I like it because "it was initially used by gamblers and politicians" ---- what's not to like?
Have you considered the nerfs they do to the other melee weapens frim time to time you have to re check the other melee again before add them with the new weapen ( just reminder )
Another combat knife skin basically lmfao
Bro forget this worked to death game we need you over on helldivers
Is the gladiator faster than the karambit?
In my opinion, the melee weapons are a waste of development time.
I think it's bs this is hidden behind the battle pass.
wow since when did you become a mele guy?
I was playing CTF using the Gladiator with infantry vest and the lightweight boots - movement speed is insane. very fun way to play
Was talking to a friend and he called this "the butt-plug-looking knife" and now I cant unsee it
Oh my god I see it now 😭
Same😂 I told lego unlock it's a an*l plug😂😂😂
CSGO players been calling them that for years 😂
How to melee lunge?? My first Multiplayer experience in CoD…Can anyone elaborate
If you are within a the lunge range (as shown in this video) and you are aiming within 30 degrees of an enemy when you swing the melee, you will auto lock on and be forcibly moved to the victim for the stab.
Melee weapons are so dumb. The best weapon in the game which is based on modern warfare. 🙄
ok

I bet they made the Gladiator a part of the paid pass because it would make the BEAST glove more "desirable" for some reason
I've used the Sword ALOT on its release. They definitely nerfed the Lunge if feels different
Such a missed opportunity to not have it dual wield, would’ve been cool for the long gloves too…
Yoooo lol I made it into one of Ace's videos as a dude he murdered in Invasion. I killed him once, he killed me twice lol
It’s really expensive: flexing his 12k cod points

@@TheXclusiveAce that makes sense, thank you man!
The only reason why I'm not too upset by it not being free is because it's a melee weapon. Hopefully it's not a trend

Sad you didnt include fists, was looking forward to see how much faster you can run without weapon at all
