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 not too long ago added to Name of Obligation 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 appear to be 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It’s a bit bizarre to see a soldier working round with a monkey’s arm lined in yellow steel, however I’m outdated. I don’t know what’s cool anymore. Anyway, if you’d like this bizarre melee weapon all you want 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 an alternative, 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 approach that “get 20 headshots” is. As an alternative, the B.E.A.S.T Glove is difficult to unlock as a result of we dwell in a horrible capitalist wasteland and when you make minimal wage, it’s going to take you the financial equal of over a day of labor to truly have the ability to purchase the rattling factor.
To be honest, 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 through 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 when you 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 in line with the Name of Obligation neighborhood. It appears you possibly can’t customise it and punching individuals doesn’t ship them flying or something enjoyable like that. Properly, a minimum of 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.
