For the first time in the series’ history, players will need to pay to unlock the most sought-after rewards from a limited-time event. The new passe premium will cost 1.100 COD Pointsor equivalent to R$ 50and will bring exclusive items, such as “The Leader” skin by Round 6, which promises to be one of the biggest attractions of this collaboration.

“While all players can progress and unlock items on the free reward track, a second Premium reward track in the Event Pass offers even more. Purchase the Premium Track to gain access to the ability to unlock additional themed rewards, including the instant-reward XM4 “High Authority” assault rifle blueprint, as well as the Knife, GS45 Pistol, and Saug Machine Gun blueprints, as well as a concussion grenade equipment, a finishing move, the “Throwdown” gesture, the “Who’s Left” talking weapon screen, and more!

Player Reactions and Expectations

This addition generated a mixed reaction among the community. Some players are excited about the new skins and the possibility of participating in an event that mixes two iconic worlds of entertainment: the tactical universe of Call of Duty and the electrifying plot of Squid Game. On the other hand, there are those who criticize the Activision for forcing a paid model to access featured items in an event, especially when it comes to limited rewards that have traditionally been achievable at no additional cost.

This move marks a new chapter for the series, which has already experienced highly successful temporary events, but never with a paid model for the best rewards. THE Activision has increasingly ventured into partnerships and collaborations with other popular franchises, as we have seen in other events with characters from Rick and Morty, Attack on Titanand even Snoop Dogg.
