MW2 & Warzone fans mock “lame” BlackCell smoke grenade skins
Following Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2’s Season 6 BlackCell Battle Pass reveal, players noticed a new item that led them to slam the “lame” decision to include skins for smoke grenades.
Below CharlieIntel’s X (formerly Twitter) post sharing the news, players swiftly dubbed this addition as “useless,” while others sarcastically chimed in with comments like “True innovation” as they poked fun at the inclusion of smoke grenade skins.
Additionally, other players expressed their frustration, saying, “I’m done buying cod battlepasses. They fill them with so many random filler items that no one cares for or even sees.”
However, many players have noted that this practice is common in the mobile version of the franchise, Call of Duty: Mobile, where such items have been present since its launch four years ago.
“This game is becoming more like cod mobile and not in a good way,” one user expressed, in response to various comments pointing out the similarities in Season 6’s BlackCell content. Another player added: “Nothing new. Cod Mobile has literally put skins on everything in that game… every gun, equipment, vehicle, etc.”
ActivisionWhile reactions have been notably negative, the BlackCell Battle Pass has proven to be a more than profitable addition for Activision, standing out amongst the best-selling items on Steam in previous seasons.
