The slacker kids Beavis and Butt-Head are coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone in Season 4 Reloaded. They are known for goofy antics and for being fans of MTV rock videos. Gamer nostalgia is in full effect with the news that Mike Judge’s 90s cartoon mainstays Beavis and Butt-Head are switching the couch for combat gear.
A Surprising MilSim Makeover
Call of Duty has been known to feature nostalgic collaborations previously, including the likes of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and a bacon operator. The sight of Beavis and Butt-Head in military-style apparel has surprised many people. The cartoonish look of this character with tactical vests and gear is a mix many players find interesting. In fact, some players think this is more realistic than many other skins in the game. A fan on social media said their army look doesn’t feel fake as other crazy cosmetics do. A different gamer jokingly suggested they might laugh about how they say the word ‘duty’.
Gamer Reactions and In-Game Humor
The community is already having fun with it, thinking of funny Beavis and Butt-Head quotes the two would say during a fight, like laughing over crude puns or making fun of an enemy strategy. There is an ongoing debate whether Call of Duty has gotten a little too silly with these skins, especially a series steeped in warfare and serious soldiering. Even with complaints about realism, the sales of quirky skins do not seem to slow down. Activision keeps releasing new bundles that are inspired by pop culture and are bold in aesthetics.
Pricing Concerns and Monetization
We don’t yet know how much the Beavis and Butt-Head bundle will cost, but players are skeptical about it as Activision seems to be charging higher for in-game purchases than what they do for Call of Duty. Critics have attacked Black Ops 6, a premium 70 dollar title, and Warzone due to ‘high’ bundles and event passes and the battle pass also increasing in price. Some gamers also reacted to in-game ads that appeared briefly in loadout menus. Subsequently, Activision called it an accidental test. With Black Ops 7 priced at $80, fans hope these skins will carry over to the next game so they can get their money’s worth.
Season 4 Reloaded Release Window
An actual release date has not been confirmed for Season 4 Reloaded. However, players expect the update to drop around June 26, due to the time now remaining in the Season 4 battle pass. Gamers are having a field day with these skins. There have been some funny jokes that the cartoonish heads will make it easier to target them. Will this bundle be fun but risky to use competitively?
A Playful Addition to Call of Duty’s Roster
Beavis and Butt-Head’s arrival in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone has added yet another layer to the franchise’s cosmetic collection.
