Name of Obligation gamers are up in arms {that a} new beauty merchandise impressed by the brand new movie Godzilla X Kong: New Empire prices $80, in one more instance of the monstrous prices of in-game cosmetics.
The “B.E.A.S.T Glove” is a brand new melee weapon that was lately added to Name of Obligation Warzone and Trendy Warfare III as a part of a bigger crossover with the lately launched Godzilla X Kong: New Empire. The glove is modeled to appear to be King Kong’s robo-arm as seen within the movie, however scaled down so a typical human-sized soldier in Warzone can use it to wack enemies round.
It’s a bit bizarre to see a soldier operating round with a monkey’s arm coated in yellow metallic, however I’m outdated. I don’t know what’s cool anymore. Anyway, if you would like this bizarre melee weapon all it’s good to do is purchase 4 totally different $20 DLC packs.
Nope, you don’t earn this new Kong-inspired weapon by getting kills or successful matches. As a substitute, you’ll must spend roughly $80 on 4 totally different premium, limited-time DLC packs to “earn” this new melee weapon. It’s difficult, however not in the identical means that “get 20 headshots” is. As a substitute, the B.E.A.S.T Glove is difficult to unlock as a result of we stay in a horrible capitalist wasteland and if you happen to make minimal wage, it would take you the financial equal of over a day of labor to really be capable of purchase the rattling factor.
To be truthful, the 4 DLC packs include their personal cosmetics and weapons. So that you aren’t simply spending $80 on this one melee weapon. You as a substitute get this Kong merchandise as kind of a reward for purchasing all the opposite Godzilla X Kong DLC added to each video games throughout the newest occasion.
Every pack prices 2400 COD Factors, which is the equal of $20 in actual cash. The 4 packs are themed across the film and comprise some new skins, beauty gadgets, animations, charms, and different trinkets. And if you happen to purchase all 4 of those, spending about $80 within the course of, you get a glove.
Dangerous information, the glove isn’t superb or cool based on the Name of Obligation group. It appears you possibly can’t customise it and punching folks doesn’t ship them flying or something enjoyable like that. Effectively, at the least you’ll have all the opposite stuff you spent $80 for.
It continues to be wild and unhappy that we’ve reached some extent the place $20 beauty packs and $80 gorilla-themed fists are simply… a factor now. Simply one thing corporations like Activision, Blizzard, and Epic can add to video games like Fortnite and Diablo with out a lot fuss. And lots of people purchase these items, too, which is perhaps the worst a part of all.
