PSA New melee weapons don't count towards backstabber calling card

Discussion

I did a search and couldn't find anything about this but I just realised that the "backstabber" calling card(stab an enemy in the back with your knife)doesn't seem to count if you have one of the new melee weapons equipped. There is another calling card called "sneaky,sneaky" (knife an enemy in the back) and they do count with the new melee weapons.

Just wanted to let anyone know that wasn't already aware. I don't use my knife often so I'd rather get both challenges done at once when I do get a backstabber medal.

Well you cant really "stab" with a hammer can you? ;) But for real: that sucks.

Idk how new this is, but it has to be. I got all my sneaky sneaky, backstabber, and winter crash knives all on the 24/7 playlist using the cqb bayonet.

This must have changed. I used the shovel and the Icepick on Winter Crash and got them all done in a couple games. I haven't played since Christmas Day so idk how long it's been differenf

My CQB worked fine towards the challenges. It may be something to do with the other ones?

Good. As they shouldn't exist in the first place.

I don't enjoy being salty. I just can't stand what COD has become.

True I that, I feel you. But they should fix that though.

Nobody ever uses them in pubs anyway so just stop fucking whinging.
