Exciting Event Overview
Mark your calendars for January 3, because an enthralling event inspired by the hit Netflix series, Squid Game, is coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
Activision has rolled out an announcement detailing this intriguing collaboration, showcasing fresh game modes and operator bundles available for a limited time.
This Squid Game event offers an array of rewards, both free and premium, allowing players to earn items by simply engaging in gameplay and accumulating experience points (XP).
Each reward track features ten distinct items inspired by the Squid Game series.
Free and Premium Rewards
For those taking the free route, there’s much to be excited about.
Players can unlock two operator skins and a new melee weapon—the cleaver.
Specifically, the Niran operator gets the Player 006 skin, while Maya dons the Player 115 skin.
You’ll also earn additional goodies, including a loading screen, calling card, emblem, and stickers.
Those looking to invest a bit more can dive into the premium reward track, which boasts exclusive items such as the Front Man operator unlock and four unique weapon blueprints.
Smaller bonuses await, including an emote, a fresh finishing move, and a themed gun screen.
Accessing this premium content will set you back 1,100 CoD Points, around $10—on par with the usual seasonal battle pass pricing.
Gameplay Features and Modes
A standout feature of this event is the chance to participate in Red Light, Green Light, the infamous challenge from Squid Game, integrated into the new Red Card multiplayer map.
As players navigate this game, they will face off against each other—and the Young-hee character—across three rounds.
The first round is particularly challenging with no weapons allowed, but players can equip themselves in the latter rounds to eliminate others and make it safely to the finish line using their melee attacks.
- Piggy Bank Team Deathmatch: Every elimination adds to a Mega Piggy Bank that spawns on the map.
- Roulette mode: Players wield a specialized handgun that allows for one-hit kills.
- Squid Game Moshpit playlist: Showcases Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Hardpoint enhanced with elements inspired by the show.
In addition, the event includes a selection of themed operator bundles for purchase, such as the Squid Game 2: Pink Guards Tracer Pack and Squid Game 2: The VIPs Tracer Pack, among others, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
