Outrage over 80 Euro DLC Weapon in Call of Duty: Publisher Faces Backlash from Players

A glove that costs an arm in the latest Call of Duty collaboration

The latest news, news around the franchise Call of Duty is somewhat hectic. Yes, during the weeks that have recently passed, there was a lot of unrest. First of all, what made the headlines, this is the launch of Call of Duty Warzone: Mobile. We know how popular this battle royale was and is, to a lesser extent. In certain countries, it still causes as much excitement but the observation is there: results are below expectationseven if he succeeded the feat of generating 1.6 million dollars in five days. In reality, where the comparison hurts is that the exit of Call of Duty: Mobile had brought in $4.2 million in four days.

With this comparison, we understand that Activision's cash flow is not the same, and we come to wonder if the publisher is not studying a few diverse and varied strategies to make up for this deficit. On the players' side, we also wonder since a recent collaboration between Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and the movie Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire had the gift of awakening their anger. What greatly contributed to annoying them to the highest degree was seeing that this collaboration was an excuse to introduce one of the most expensive weapons ever into a game Call of Duty.

Call of Duty takes no gloves: this item costs as much as the game… and is useless

The weapon of discord is nothing other than… a glove ! Well, not just any glove since it is the BEAST glove, an acronym for Bio-Enhanced Anatomech Seismic Thunder. In a more succinct and less barbaric way, it is nothing more and nothing less than the glove wielded by Kong in the film mentioned above. Thanks to the power of it, players of Call of Duty have the possibility of “ hit as hard as Kong “. That being said, they had to bang their fists on the table rather than give in to its purchase since its prohibitive price was… 80 dollars. In reality, it is through an accumulation of purchases that you can obtain this glove, as explained by a player who was kind enough to sacrifice himself for the rest of the group.

While the exaggerated price of this glove set fire to the social network Reddit, one player wanted to see if the investment was worth it: the answer was very clearly, in more flowery language, “no, not at all”. After purchasing the four packs at $20 each, necessary to acquire this famous glove, Reddit user xGrimaulOnXboxx simply explained that the glove in question did not allow “anything special” and that it was, on top of that, not even a good melee weapon capable of sending enemies flying. If this was a test on Activision's part, the players' reaction couldn't be clearer: they didn't like it at all!
