Activision and Treyarch have revealed more Call of Duty crossover content in the form of a Terminator event and themed cosmetics for Black Ops 6 Season 2.
The developers behind the long-running first-person shooter franchise detailed its plans for the upcoming seasonal content drop in a blog post on its website. It comes with news about all the maps, modes, guns, and changes set to arrive when Season 2 starts next week. Included in the rundown is information about how The Terminator will make its Call of Duty debut with a special limited-time event that comes with unlockable rewards and in-game store skins that look like they were cooked up in a Skynet factory.
The Terminator Tracer Pack is the real headline here, as it comes with two skins modeled after the T-800 cyborg Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron made popular in the ‘80s. The Titanium Core skin is ripped straight out of the movie, featuring the machine’s iconic, cold facial features and glowing red eyes. The T-800 skin, meanwhile, aims to bring Schwarzenegger's appearance to the battlefield, though it doesn’t exactly look like the younger version of the action star it’s based on. Still, it’s no doubt a fun callback to a classic series that also comes with four Weapon Blueprints, a special finishing movie, the “Tracking…Tracking…” emote, “What Pain?” emblem, and “Lookin’ Fly” calling card.
The Terminator Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 crossover content doesn’t stop there. From February 6 to February 20, Warzone, Multiplayer, and Zombies players will enjoy The Terminator event, which sees players collecting skulls to unlock up to 13 rewards. This is in addition to two other events – Shadow Hunt and St. Patrick’s Day: Clover Craze – which will add even more unlockable upgrades in February and March, respectively. Activision and Treyarch tease more reveals for the upcoming Season 2 Reloaded patch set to arrive at a later date.
The Terminator collaboration follows Season 1’s popular Squid Game crossover event, which included more tie-in skins that coincided with the release of Netflix’s Squid Game 2. Although some players were upset to find its rewards locked behind a premium battle pass, many were quick to purchase bundles that included cosmetics like the Young-hee bundle and the Pink Guards bundle. We’ll have to wait to see everything included in The Terminator Call of Duty crossover, but in the meantime, Black Ops 6 Season 2 is set to launch January 28, 2025.
