Call of Duty has been on a roll lately, signing deals and crossover events to keep the content train pumping; from Godzilla to Mobile Suit Gundam, there is no limit to the themed cosmetics Activision has and will continue to bring to the game. Fallout is one of the latest events, but despite the recent upward trend in the post-apocalyptic franchise, players are not happy about the upcoming skins.
Reddit user ZookeepergameProud30 jumped on the Modern Warfare 3 subreddit to air his annoyances with the upcoming Fallout cosmetic set. Their specific words label the package as “lazy” and it’s not hard to understand why.
User Riot_Shielder joined the conversation, saying, “They don’t want our money? These look hilariously bad and low effort. An NCR Veteran Ranger skin would sell 10x more than this crap.” Their words ring true as the four “suits” given to the main cast of Ghost, Price, Soap, and Gaz are simple Vault Suits.
Another voice (from user llamanatee) specifically called out the lack of content in the package, saying, “No veteran ranger armor, M16 service rifle or Power Armor Juggernaut? Of course not, because how would people know it’s Fallout if it’s not. blue and yellow?” It’s also pretty hard to disagree with the general sentiment of fans here. While the Vault Suits are iconic in their own right, there is so much more that could be done here. A Vault Boy mask to go with the costumes? The aforementioned Power Armor Juggernaut? As a Fallout fan myself, this is a bit of a bummer.
The sad reality here is that the Fallout universe is full of exciting and interesting characters and factions. I find myself wondering why we don’t get a Super Mutant skin or a set of Raider Armor for our heroes. I’d even take a Radscorpion cosplay over the basic blue and yellow onesies. Unfortunately, we have what we have and it’s probably going down as one of the more disappointing Call of Duty crossovers we’ve seen.
That’s all we have on the Fallout bundle debacle. If you’re looking for more Call of Duty content, then check out Casual CoD fan frustrations point to a bigger problem for the series, Warzone is sweatier than ever, and fathers are annoyed, and more on Pro Game Guides.
