"Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War" players need to perform two Finishing Moves in ten various matches. However, getting just one Finishing Move could be at times tricky, which means getting two in the same game might require preparation and strategy. Players must ensure that they try and do it on slower but larger maps in the game so they could wait and hide from enemies. Players could also try smaller maps like Nuketown; however, there is a chance that they could get shot while stuck in the Finishing Move animation.
As for loadout, "Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold war" players could equip perks like Ghost and Ninja. This way, they could sneak up on their targets. In this undertaking, the last thing players want is someone to be alerted of their presence because they heard the players' footsteps.

It is worth mentioning that the challenge required to unlock the Wakizashi sword is long and taxing. But, wielding a powerful weapon in the game is a good pay off.
