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 yet 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 appear to be King Kong’s robo-arm as seen within the movie, however scaled down so an ordinary 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 metallic, however I’m previous. I don’t know what’s cool anymore. Anyway, if you would like this bizarre melee weapon all it is advisable to do is purchase 4 totally different $20 DLC packs.
Nope, you don’t earn this new Kong-inspired weapon by getting kills or profitable matches. As a substitute, you’ll have to spend roughly $80 on 4 totally 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 stay in a horrible capitalist wasteland and in the event you make minimal wage, it’ll take you the financial equal of over a day of labor to truly have the ability 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 form of a reward for getting all the opposite Godzilla X Kong DLC added to each video games in the course of 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 objects, animations, charms, and different trinkets. And in the event 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 Responsibility neighborhood. It appears you’ll be able to’t customise it and punching individuals doesn’t ship them flying or something enjoyable like that. Effectively, 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 things, too, which may be the worst a part of all.
