    You should get this without issue, but it didn't pop when I expected. I used the baseball bat and then tried the 'Guillotine' machete with no unlock.

    It popped for me when I got the long-handed hammer, dropped by an enemy and then killed them.

    thatNoseyParkerThanks for sharing. So far I've gotten a kill with the hammer and the bat, no pop.

    R3f1CuLGets 3 melee weapons, gets kills with all three... nothing... jfc typical modern gaming achievement.

    thatNoseyParkerPlenty of kills with all 3 melee weps, specials too. Nothing. Notably my coop friend who was host got both cheeves using the hammer.

    Edit: I think the issue was with Game sharing. My friend, the host, had the dummy account with the dlc ownership set as home. Once I set it to mine, the melee achievements unlocked the very next kills (using hammer)

    Pthe5Same here. Baseball bat and guillotine didn't do the job. After I found the "Stonebreaker" hammer in the first combat area (in a lootbox behind a breakable wall - u can't miss it) it popped.

    I think the baseball bat and guillotine don't count through a bug. I've got both before the hammer but the achievement for obtaining my first melee weapon popped right after I got the hammer first time.

    TimmayI sold my rock hammer that I found not knowing this was glitched.

    Now I can't find one. Have all other achievements done.

    TimmayHad to get it via NG+. Have to run through the entire campaign to get to the DLC again.

    WodanEyckI can confirm that this achievement only pops out when a melee kill is done with the "Rock Crusher" metal hammer.
    The associated achievement "First Melee Special Move Kill" also only pops if one's using the Rock Crusher hammer.
