Activision has announced that the Squid Game crossover in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will feature certain rewards that players can only access through a paid Premium Battle Pass. Since the announcement of this crossover, fans have been excited, but this particular detail hasn’t been received positively by the community.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 enjoyed a strong launch, but it appears that the excitement has fizzled out. Recently, the player count on Steam has seen a significant decline, highlighting the community’s concerns about the game. Issues like a shortage of engaging maps and events, along with persistent anti-cheat problems, have likely contributed to many players leaving. As a result, the game is once again facing criticism.
In a recent blog update, Activision has shared all the exciting details about the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Squid Game crossover. Players can look forward to a variety of exclusive rewards during this event. However, the blog also mentions a premium reward track that players can access for 1,100 COD points, which is about $9.99. This premium track features several thrilling rewards, including a new Operator named “Front Man,” along with various blueprints, a finishing move, and additional surprises that many players might have hoped would be free.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Squid Game Premium Battle Pass Rewards
- AR Blueprint with Tracers “High Authority”
- Knife Blueprint “Etched”
- Finishing Move “Roped In”
- Pistol Blueprint with Tracers “Custodian”
- Emblem “Enigma”
- SMG Blueprint with Tracers “Boss Orders”
- Equipment Skin “Don’t Look”
- Emote “Throwdown”
- Gun Screen “Who’s Left?”
- New Operator “Front Man”
It’s no surprise that this news hasn’t been well-received in the community. Fans had already voiced their worries about the collaboration after the leak of the premium battle pass for the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Squid Game crossover. Many believed that the negative feedback would prompt Activision to reconsider their approach, but that hasn’t happened. Some players have even mentioned that they will no longer spend money on the game in the future.
The main point of contention has been that the crossover serves as a marketing tool for the new season of Squid Game, and the addition of microtransactions has not been well-received by the community. Although games like Fortnite have successfully introduced similar features before, fans feel that since Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 isn’t free-to-play, there’s less justification for the numerous microtransactions. The recent crossover for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has sparked quite a bit of debate, and it seems unlikely that any adjustments to the battle pass will occur.
