After the premiere of the second season of the popular Netflix series Squid Game, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has teamed up with the show to introduce fresh skins, weapon blueprints, and limited-time game modes. Since its debut in 2021, Squid Game has intrigued gamers around the world, sparking the creation of custom content within games like Fortnite and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Players will soon access Squid Game themed content in Call of Duty.
While the Call of Duty community is buzzing with excitement over the Squid Game skins, there’s some hesitation regarding how they will be distributed. The enthusiasm for this collaboration has been slightly overshadowed by the announcement of a premium add-on that players will need to purchase in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 or Warzone, in addition to the standard Battle Pass and initial game purchase. For those not deterred by the extra expense, here’s all the information you’ll need to grab the new skins.
Squid Game x Black Ops 6 Release Date
According to the official trailer, the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 x Squid Game collaboration will launch on January 3, 2025. An official blog post from Call of Duty has confirmed that Squid Game will feature its own Event Pass, which includes both Free and Premium Tracks. Players eager to unlock all the new items will want to dive in on launch day.
The Premium Track of the Event Pass, a fairly new feature in Call of Duty, has not generated much enthusiasm among players. The Premium Event Pass will be available for 1,100 CoD Points, which translates to approximately $9.99.
All Black Ops 6 x Squid Game Skins
New Squid Game Skins Available
Call of Duty will roll out new Operator skins as part of its Black Ops 6 x Squid Game partnership. Some of these skins will be for entirely new Operators, while others will be variations for existing characters. The selection of skins is extensive and will encompass many iconic designs from the show.
Players can expect to see contestant skins in tracksuits, alongside the vibrant masked guards. Additionally, there will be a skin for the Front Man, the enigmatic overseer of the games, and skins for the VIPs, who are known for their unique animal masks. The final skin recreates Young-hee, the eerie robot from the Red Light, Green Light game. Below you’ll find details on how to obtain each new Operator or skin.
Player 006 & Player 115 Operator Skins
Both the Player 006 skin for Niran and the Player 115 skin for Maya are free rewards included in the Call of Duty x Squid Game 2 Event Pass. These skins can be earned through the Free Track available to all players.
Player 006 is immediately available upon joining, while Player 115 requires players to earn enough XP to unlock it. Engaging in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone will contribute to XP needed for the Free Track rewards.
How to Obtain the Front Man Operator
Purchasing the Premium Track of the Event Pass unlocks the Front Man Operator for those who accumulate enough XP throughout the event. The Premium Track is set to cost 1,100 CoD Points, which is around $9.99.
Similar to the Free Track rewards, players will need to gather enough XP to acquire their desired rewards. Keep in mind that the Front Man Operator will be the Mastery Reward for the Premium Track, which requires completing the entire track to unlock this new Operator.
Masked Operators in Pink Guards Tracer Pack
The Pink Guards Tracer Pack features three Operators: the Masked Manager, Masked Soldier, and Masked Worker. It’s unusual for a bundle to include multiple Operators; however, the primary difference among them lies in the design of their masks.
These new Operators will resonate with fans of Squid Game, allowing players to embody the notorious guards in their recognizable outfits. The bundle also includes weapon blueprints for both Assault Rifles and SMGs, among other cosmetic items. Pricing for the bundle remains unannounced.
The VIPs Tracer Pack Masked Operators
The VIPs Tracer Pack introduces two new Operators to Call of Duty: the Panther Mask VIP and Lion Mask VIP. While the official price for this bundle is still unknown, it is noted for including more than one character, similar to the Pink Guards bundle.
These Operators showcase luxurious gold detailing and include themed weapon blueprints, reflecting the characters’ wealth. The Pinky Up Finishing Move adds a classy touch, even in intense encounters.
Young-hee Operator Tracker Pack Bundle
The Young-hee Operator, a central figure in the Young-hee Tracer Pack, accurately depicts the robot that plays a key role in the Red Light, Green Light game.
This bundle includes an Assault Rifle and Marksman Rifle blueprint, though its price remains unconfirmed. This compelling Operator is sure to unnerve competitors in any Black Ops 6 or Warzone match.
The highly anticipated partnership between Call of Duty and Squid Game is set to offer a range of Operators, limited-time modes, and exclusive weapon blueprints. Whether you’re a fan of Black Ops 6 multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone, you’ll earn shared progression from your Event Pass as you gather XP, so be prepared to level up!
