Controversy Surrounds Call of Duty Warzone's Pay-to-Win Content

Call of Duty: Warzone players are unhappy with the introduction of a new cosmetic bundle that provides significant advantages in the game's DMZ mode. The $12 Bomb Squad bundle gives players a skin for Fender, a SAKIN MG38 LMG blueprint, an active duty slot, a sticker, and an emblem. Equipping Fender's skin gives players a medium backpack, and the LMG has a shorter cooldown compared to free guns. Fans are taking to Twitter to express their disappointment with the game becoming "pay-to-win." More bundles that provide DMZ advantages could be on their way, according to a datamine on Reddit.

The DMZ community is not happy about this, and inserting literal opportunities for folks to buy their way into greater power in a niche mode like DMZ probably isn’t the best way to keep folks eager to continue playing.
