Developer Treyarch revealed more of the premium skins coming during the first season of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The Black Ops 6 skin bundles will be offered on the in-game store, and include special effects and weapon blueprints.

With the game fresh off its global launch, Season 1 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is almost ready to drop on November 14, 2024. With it will come a new and redesigned Battle Pass, which will allow players to earn rewards on it by playing the game and spending tokens earned by completing matches and challenges. The rewards include in-game skins for existing characters, as well as Goliath, an entirely new playable Operator.

Alongside the Black Ops 6 Season 1 Battle Pass, Treyarch also published an official Call of Duty Blog post detailing the premium Tracer Packs and other skin bundles coming to the store for players to buy. Some of the bundles include special "Ultra" skins, which have enhanced effects and particularly striking visual themes.

Black Ops 6 Ultra Skins Include Shark, Vampire, and Steampunk Looks

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 1 Tracer Packs

  • The Replacer (Peter Stormare)
  • 2025 Call of Duty League Team Bundles
  • Cascade Failure Reactive (Marshall)
  • Cash Bandit Reactive (Niran)
  • Steer Clear (Caine)
  • Parasite Warrior Ultra Skin (Carver)
  • Eternal Hunter Ultra Skin (Rossi)
  • G'Day Bait Ultra Skin (Carver)
  • Kick Some Brass Mastercraft Ultra Skin (Nazir)

While new Black Ops 6 weapons and operators are included in the Battle Pass, Season 1 will add a total of 9 premium Tracer Packs to the in-game store. These packs will contain an operator skin and weapon blueprints, as well as accessories like cosmetic reticles, finishing moves, calling cards, and emblems. Four of the Tracer Packs will contain Ultra Skins: The Parasite Warrior, Eternal Hunter, G'Day Bait, and Kick Some Brass bundles. Each emphasizes a different "wild" theme, and their respective operator skins go for particularly over-the-top effects.

For example, the Eternal Hunter pack's "Volatile" Ultra Skin for Rossi turns the operator into a vampire with a bloodied mouth and glowing red eyes. The Kick Some Brass pack's "Merciless" Ultra Skin for Nazir turns the operator into a steam-powered trooper with brass armor and a stylized gas mask helmet. Kick Some Brass also includes a Mastercraft Melee blueprint for a "Chainblade" weapon with a custom weapon inspect and other effects.

The "wildest" Ultra Skins are designed for operator Carver. The Parasite Warrior pack's "Host," which turns Carver into the victim of a grotesque alien creature, covering him in bloody tentacles, and "Bloke Biter" from the G'Day Bait Tracer Pack turns Carver into a shark-person somewhat reminiscent of Suicide Squad character King Shark. The shark skin falls in line with other popular modern Call of Duty premium skins like the "CODasaurus" skin from the Modern Warfare 3 era that turned players into dinosaur-headed soldier.

Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.

The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.

In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.

Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
