What You Need to Know
In the world of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, there’s a familiar face making waves once again. Peter Stormare reprises his celebrated role as The Replacer, adding a unique blend of action and humor to the game’s promotional efforts. The Replacer’s essence revolves around amusingly stepping in for everyday people and even high-profile personalities so they can sneak off for more game time. And now, this iconic character isn’t just a part of the campaign; he’s a playable operator ready for action.
Fans of The Replacer will be thrilled, as he’s bringing with him a bundle of treats. For 2400 COD Points, you can unlock The Replacer bundle, offering a bonus skin for those who have upgraded to the BlackCell battle pass, alongside two stylish weapon blueprints, a calling card, and an emblem. As Peter Stormare steps into these virtual shoes, you can now take him onto the battlefield for a master grind of your own.
Treyarch decided to bring back The Replacer for Black Ops 6, turning the spotlight once more onto this entertaining character. Initially introduced in the ads for Black Ops 2 and maintaining popularity through most subsequent titles, The Replacer has always brought a comedic touch to the intense gameplay. From stepping into the shoes of regular citizens to the pope, he’s now taking over Call of Duty’s social media channels, adding his quirky flair to the game’s launch sequences.
The return of The Replacer as a playable operator is a nostalgia trip for many, especially after his last playable appearance in Black Ops 4’s Black Market back in 2019. With the bundle now available, players can give their operators a break and let The Replacer step up in style on the virtual battlefield.
To make The Replacer yours, it costs around $20 — that’s the price of the 2400 Call of Duty Points needed. Be forewarned: these points don’t go on sale, even during major shopping events like Black Friday. However, if you’re an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, you can snag a sweet 20% off when purchasing through the Xbox or Microsoft Store.
Keep in mind, Call of Duty Points are specific to whichever platform they’re purchased on. But fear not, once you buy The Replacer, you can switch between platforms like Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Warzone, thanks to your Activision account.
As part of the bundle, players who upgrade their battle pass to the BlackCell version also unlock an additional operator skin for The Replacer. Moreover, weapon enthusiasts will appreciate a unique AS VAL assault rifle blueprint, “Quick Wit,” complete with new “Badassery tracers,” and for LMG lovers, there’s the “Ramifications” blueprint for the PU-21. Of course, to really excel with your new gear, tweak your controller settings for optimal performance against mouse and keyboard rivals.
Alongside the two operator skins and weapons, the bundle also includes a fresh finishing move. This feature lets The Replacer humorously shoulder in to take over an operator’s elimination animation. Adding more flair, new animated calling cards and emblems cap off this irresistible package.
With Black Ops 6 out now on multiple platforms including Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC (via Steam and Battle.net), and PlayStation consoles, the first season is live and CODmas is upon us. Time to grab those points from Walmart and dive in as The Replacer, sprinkling a little chaos and fun into your gameplay.
