An individual skin for your character is standard in many multiplayer games today – Call of Duty: Warzone is no exception. But how much does it actually cost to buy all the skin bundles in the Warzone database? Reddit has calculated it and MeinMMO shows you the results.
Simply choosing a game character in an online game is no longer enough for many players today. At least a stylish skin for your character is a must. Especially in games that can accompany you for a long time like Call of Duty: Warzone. It is almost mandatory not to be passed around as a noob “No-Skin” in the lobbies.
Skins are viewed as a significant source of revenue. Therefore, the selection of skins continues to grow unabated – this also applies to Warzone. Currently, there are 707 skin bundles in the Warzone database, many of which are available in the shop on a rotating basis, pushing operator skins, weapon blueprints, talismans, and other nifty digital items into your inventory in exchange for CoD Points.
A user on Reddit has now calculated how much it would cost if you want to buy all the bundles. MeinMMO shows you the background and what problems some skins bring in Warzone.
Warzone: Skin bundles cost a total of 788,700 CoD Points
How much do all skin bundles from Warzone cost? According to the user’s calculation, you need 788,700 CoD Points to acquire all purchasable bundles in the Warzone database. This amounts to about €6,230 if you purchase the points through the PS Store without any offers. (As of: March 17, 2021)
How is the calculation made up? The Reddit user “LackingAGoodName” published his diligent work on Reddit along with a graphic of the different price levels of the bundles:
The graphic shows how many bundles are available for a specific price. You can check the data basis on cod.tracker.gg. The tracker accesses the Warzone database directly and lists all bundles with purchase price and contents. LackingAGoodName noted all prices, summed them up, and arrived at 788,700 CoD Points for 707 bundles that deliver you 3,431 items.
If we assume the total price of €6,230, the following average prices result:
- Average bundle price: approx. €8.80
- Average item price: approx. €1.81
However, experience has shown that not all bundles are available for purchase in the database. For example, the World Champion bundle of CoD MW was already in the database before its release. Therefore, the data only roughly reflects the actual value of the skin bundles in the game.
Skins bring visual variety, but sometimes also problems
In the history of Call of Duty, skins play a special role. Initially just nice rewards for gameplay challenges, over time a loot box system developed that likely peaked with Black Ops 4, the CoD from 2018. There were plenty of different boxes that you could unlock, but also buy for real money.
Here you “won” skins through the loot boxes, some of which were really crazy. However, you could not use them if the base item had not been drawn yet. So if you had a really good skin for a strong weapon but not the cosmetic base item, the reward was useless.
With the release of Modern Warfare Black Ops 4 made the loot system clearly fairer and in CoD MW the developers completely dispensed with it. Instead, there is now a “Battle Pass” system and purchasable skin bundles that show you exactly what you get.
However, there are still occasional problems with skins in CoD MW and Warzone. Currently, for example, an operator skin is considered pay-to-win because the character is almost completely black. This can provide advantages in gameplay as players with the skin are harder to see than without it. Broken weapon skins have even led to shifts in the meta in the battle royale.
Cosmetics are not just bad. They bring color and variety to the game, provide motivation when you can unlock some, and allow you to give your characters a personal touch. With the absence of loot boxes, Call of Duty has become significantly fairer in this regard and even offers a Battle Pass that allows you to earn some CoD Points if you play enough.
Skins may not be the salt in the soup of every video game. But the eye also eats, and some cosmetics are just so good that it is hard to argue against them. But what do you think? Participate in our poll and tell us your opinion on skins in Call of Duty in the comments.
