Summary

  • Call of Duty players aren't happy with the recently revealed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event due to the pricing.
  • Players have the option to upgrade the TMNT Event Pass to a premium edition for 1,100 COD Points to earn extra cosmetic items.
  • Some call the Event Pass price and store bundles "despicable."

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 publisher Activision has only just revealed the full details of the game's upcoming collaboration with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but players are already taking to social media to blast the studio for the overpriced cosmetics included in the event. The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event arrives with Season 2 Reloaded and will bring various new weapons, operator skins, modes, and more to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone.

On February 18, a lengthy new blog post confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone's highly anticipated Season 2 Reloaded update will be released on February 20. The mid-season refresh will once again bring new multiplayer maps, modes, weapons, cosmetic bundles, and more to the first-person shooter, but the same can't be said for its free-to-play counterpart. With Warzone in such a dire state right now, Activision has remained committed to rectifying the many bugs and glitches plaguing the Battle Royale title. As such, Season 2 Reloaded will only include one piece of Warzone content: the new Low Profile Perk, which improves movement speed when crouched, prone, or downed.

Call of Duty Fans Call New TMNT Event "Despicable"

Alongside details on Season 2 Reloaded, Activision also pulled back the curtain on its newest collaboration with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles​​​​​. Unfortunately, after fans got their first look at Call of Duty's latest Event Pass for the TMNT crossover, they took to Reddit to blast the publisher for the overall price of the event. In a new post on Reddit, one user called the many microtransactions "despicable." They explained that it would cost over $80 to acquire all of the Turtles from separate bundles, followed by another $10 for the premium version of the Event Pass, which also includes a Splinter operator skin alongside a handful of other cosmetic items.

The post in question has well over 1,000 upvotes, and most of the comments seem to agree. "[Call of Duty] has been wayyy too expensive for the last 5 years man, I’ve given up on it," Reddit user Walrus1460 said. Some users were even comparing Call of Duty's take on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event to Fortnite, which also collaborated with the popular characters back in 2024. Reddit user Against-The-Current pointed out that all four Turtle skins in Fortnite could be obtained for $30, while the Event Pass was only an additional $10. They also noted that Fortnite is completely free-to-play and "isn't going anywhere for many years," while Call of Duty players most likely won't be able to carry their skins forward into the next entry in the series.

This isn't the first time that Activision has sparked controversy with a new event. Earlier this year, Call of Duty collaborated with Squid Game, the hit Netflix show. While the event did see new modes and cosmetic items added to the game, it sparked a huge amount of controversy for adding an Event Pass on top of an existing Battle Pass and Blackcell Battle Pass. There was also anger at the price of the Squid Game bundles in the store, but fans were most annoyed over the fact that they needed to pay for yet another Pass if they wanted to make the most of the event. Similar to the Squid Game Event Pass, the premium TMNT Event Pass will be priced at 1,100 COD Points.
