Cosmetics have always been a big point of contention in AAA shooters, but Call of Duty has a pretty rough history with them.
Sadly, the franchise has failed to pin down the slick goofiness that made Fortnite the cultural phenomenon it is, and many of their skins are simply… broken. Fans hated the "pay-to-win" Roze skin, and a recent skin glitched and stuttered its way across the map keeping players from actually being able to see.
And now, there's more controversy - as a new operator is coming to the game, but with a very expensive caveat.
Snoop Dogg's COD Mobile Skin Is Insanely Expensive
The methods for acquiring the new Snoop Dogg skin in both Call of Duty Warzone and Call of Duty Mobile are completely different, and fans are upset not only by their difference in price but in substance too.
The skin and a whopping bundle of 10 Snoop Dogg items can be bagged in Warzone and Vanguard for one lump sum of around $20, whereas you can only secure the skin in Call of Duty Mobile via a Lucky Draw system, that sees players gamble for their chance to bag it.
It's a deeply unfair double standard, especially as the Mobile version only comes with an SMG blueprint rather than the huge goody bag of content that console players are getting.
Fans React To Snoop Dogg Bundle Unfairness
Players are upset that they could be spending upwards of four times more for the skin, even though there's much less content to bag from the bundle.
In the comments of a Reddit post sharing the Lucky Draw news, fans are losing their rag at Call of Duty Mobile for rinsing their fans.
"This is a clear picture of the future of CODM collabs," says one commenter. "Either we don't get the content at all, or are charged an insane price."
"They don't care about mobile players," says another. "Just catering to hackers."
It's clear that fans are peeved, and reasonably so. It's frustrating that the two games have such intense differences when it comes to cosmetics, especially as they're both meant to come under the same Call of Duty banner. It's a big kick in the teeth, especially as Snoop Dogg's Ghosts cosmetics only came in at around $3 - but mobile players have always suffered when it comes to monetisation, a fact that doesn't look like changing any time soon.
