In an unexpected collaboration, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has introduced a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) crossover, allowing players to embody their favorite heroes in a half shell. However, the excitement has been tempered by the realization that unlocking all related content comes with a hefty price tag of approximately $90 USD .
Breaking Down the Costs
Each of the four turtles— Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo —is available as a separate operator bundle, priced at 2,400 COD Points each. Given that 2,400 COD Points equate to $19.99 USD , acquiring all four turtles totals $79.96 USD . Additionally, there’s a premium TMNT event pass, offering exclusive rewards, priced at 1,100 COD Points (approximately $10 USD ). Collectively, players are looking at an expenditure of $89.96 USD to access all TMNT content.
Community Reactions
The pricing strategy has sparked significant discussion within the gaming community. On platforms like Reddit, players have expressed their dissatisfaction, with one user commenting, “Activision casually glossing over the fact that they want you to pay $80+ if you want the 4 Turtles, plus another $10+ if you want the TMNT event pass rewards. Call of Duty’s gross greed strikes again… despicable!”
Comparisons have also been drawn to other games’ crossover events. For instance, Fortnite offered a TMNT bundle where all four turtles were available together for approximately $32 USD , making Black Ops 6 ‘s pricing appear steep in comparison.
Optional Content
It’s important to note that the TMNT skins and associated content are purely cosmetic and do not affect gameplay mechanics. Players are not obliged to purchase these items to enjoy the full game experience. However, the high cost for cosmetic additions has raised questions about the value proposition being offered to the player base.
