ActivisionCoD players across Black Ops 6 and Warzone have been left furious with the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration for one big reason, what some are calling the “despicable” prices.
Much like any other live service game on the market, CoD is always pushing towards its next big collaboration. This time around, with the Season 2 Reloaded patch just around the corner, Activision has unveiled another batch of cosmetics in partnership with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brand.
After first crossing over in Modern Warfare 2 with the Shredder Operator, the four turtles themselves are now making their way into the game too. Leo, Mikey, Don, and Raph are all purchasable, as is Master Splinter, but they don’t exactly come cheap.
There’s no overall bundle packaging the iconic heroes in a half shell together. Instead, players have to buy each character individually, leaving many in the community frustrated given the collective price reaches around $80 USD.
ActivisionCoD players blast TMNT bundle prices
While you can grab a few cosmetics, including two Foot Clan Operator Skins without spending a dime, the only way to grab the turtle skins is by forking out your hard-earned cash.
Each turtle has their own bundle, though not just any cosmetic pack. They’re featured in a Tracer Pack bundle, the most expensive in the CoD Store at around $20 apiece. Thus, in order to grab them all, you’re looking at a fairly hefty sum. It’s this very fact some CoD players have lashed out against across social media.
“Activision casually glossing over the fact they want you to pay $80+ if you want the four turtles,” one player highlighted on Reddit, going as far as to call the collective price “despicable.”
Others began to question the structure of the collab in the first place, asking why the four turtles have been separated to begin with. “They could’ve simply put out an all-in-one bundle with four Operators and additional gear like they’ve done before,” another player chimed in.
“Clearly this is another money move from Activision.”
One such example of a four-in-one cosmetic bundle was shared in a reply on X (formerly Twitter), wherein, the Wubz and Friendz Tracer Pack was highlighted.
This unique pack cost 3,000 CoD Points (roughly $30), but came with four different colors of the same Operator skin, much like how the four turtles are similar in appearance, save for their unique eye masks and knee pads.
Meanwhile, others looked to draw a comparison to TMNT’s appearance in CoD with the collab in Fortnite. In the Epic Battle Royale, all four turtles can be acquired for $30 USD, as one player pointed out. Not to mention, “the game is free-to-play. Meanwhile [in CoD], you’ll lose all these skins by year’s end.”
