Name of Responsibility 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 not too long ago added to Name of Responsibility Warzone and Trendy Warfare III as a part of a bigger crossover with the not too long ago launched Godzilla X Kong: New Empire. The glove is modeled to seem like King Kong’s robo-arm as seen within the movie, however scaled down so a regular human-sized soldier in Warzone can use it to wack enemies round.
It’s a bit bizarre to see a soldier working round with a monkey’s arm coated in yellow steel, however I’m previous. I don’t know what’s cool anymore. Anyway, if you need this bizarre melee weapon all it’s good to do is purchase 4 completely 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 have to spend roughly $80 on 4 completely different premium, limited-time DLC packs to “earn” this new melee weapon. It’s difficult, however not in the identical manner that “get 20 headshots” is. As a substitute, the B.E.A.S.T Glove is difficult to unlock as a result of we dwell in a horrible capitalist wasteland and should you make minimal wage, it can take you the financial equal of over a day of labor to really be capable to 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 an alternative get this Kong merchandise as type of a reward for getting 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 include some new skins, beauty objects, animations, charms, and different trinkets. And should you purchase all 4 of those, spending about $80 within the course of, you get a glove.
Unhealthy information, the glove isn’t excellent or cool in line with the Name of Responsibility group. It appears you possibly can’t customise it and punching individuals doesn’t ship them flying or something enjoyable like that. Nicely, 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 a degree 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 could be the worst a part of all.
