Overview of Criticism Over Squid Game Skin Pricing in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
- The pricing for Squid Game-themed skins in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has sparked backlash from players.
- Frustration is mounting over the developer’s pricing decisions, particularly regarding the Tracer Pack.
- Players express disappointment about the overall execution of the Squid Game event, hoping for better experiences in the future.
Players engaged with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 are voicing significant dissatisfaction over the costs associated with Squid Game skins. This collaboration with the immensely popular Netflix series has introduced various game modes, blueprints, and skins as part of the ongoing Squid Game event, which is available in Warzone, Multiplayer, and Zombies modes until January 24, 1 PM EST / 10 AM PST / 6 PM GMT.
Since its release in October 2024, Black Ops 6 stands as the 21st main installment in the Call of Duty series and the seventh entry in the Black Ops saga. The current Squid Game event features an array of rewards, including exclusive cosmetic items such as the Squid Game Emblem, the Tic-Tac-Die background, and the Do, Not Move Calling Card, all inspired by the second season of the hit series.
A recent post on Reddit by user u/mrdounut101 brought attention to the pricing issues surrounding the Squid Game skins within the Black Ops 6 subreddit. The post emphasized that purchasing a single Operator from the same faction costs 2800 COD Points—a price many players deem excessive, particularly given the limitation of using only one Operator at a time. Players find the cost for the Squid Game 2: Pink Guards Tracer Pack, which includes the notable pink guard outfit and multiple shape variants, to be unreasonably high in relation to the available content.

Concerns have also arisen over the Front Man skin potentially being framed as pay-to-win, reminiscent of Modern Warfare’s controversial Roze skin. As discontent grows, players have openly expressed their views on the Tracer Pack’s pricing, noting it to be 800 to 1000 coins more expensive than other skins, which further amplifies their frustrations towards the developers.
Moreover, players are troubled by the apparent trend in zombies mode, where limited-time modes (LTMs) such as Dead Light and Green Light have not met expectations. Although the collaboration with the Netflix series was initially promising, player feedback indicates that the execution of this event has room for improvement, with hopes that future events will enhance the overall gaming experience.
