Netflix's "Squid Game" and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 plus Warzone collaboration has officially gone live. The unique event offers a blend of Squid Games’ intense challenges within the Call of Duty universe. The event runs from January 3rd to January 24th, 2025, aligning with the release of "Squid Game" Season 2. I’ve got all the details below, along with how to jump into the limited-time event, let's dive in.

Squid Game x Call of Duty Event Overview

Players can hop into a series of "Squid Game"-themed Limited Time Modes (LTMs) across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone. You can progress through the free Squid Game Event Pass by participating in these modes and earning XP, unlocking rewards such as the "Player 006" Operator Skin, the Cleaver Melee Weapon, and other themed items. For those seeking additional content, a Premium Track is available for 1,100 COD Points, offering exclusive rewards like the "Front Man" Operator Skin and specialized weapon blueprints. 

Squid Game x Call of Duty Limited Time Modes

The event introduces several LTMs inspired by iconic challenges from the "Squid Game" series:

Red Light, Green Light: This mode tests players' reflexes and precision, echoing the deadly game from the series. In the Red Light, Green Light mode, you’ll face a series of three rounds, each lasting two minutes, set in the Red Card stadium. During Round 1, players are unarmed, emphasizing stealth and timing. In Rounds 2 and 3, weapons become available on the field, allowing melee attacks and Finishing Moves against opponents. The primary rule is straightforward: when Young-hee signals "Green Light," you can move and engage; upon hearing "Red Light," any movement and you are done for.

In the Pentathlon playlist, you can engage in a series of Multiplayer modes, including Domination, Kill Confirmed, and Hardpoint, along with two new mode variants:


Piggy Bank Team Deathmatch: In this mode, each elimination contributes to the Mega Piggy Bank's score. Midway through the match, the Mega Piggy Bank drops, prompting players to battle for its big payout. 


Roulette: Here, one-shot eliminations with the Roulette Handgun earn double points. However, each shot fired risks the weapon exploding in the player's hands. 


Premium Operator Bundles for Squid Game x Call of Duty

Three exclusive Operator Bundles are available for purchase, offering skins from key figures from the "Squid Game" universe:

How to Participate in the Squid Game x Call of Duty Event

Players should ensure their game is updated to the latest version to engage in the event. Upon launching Black Ops 6 or Warzone, the Squid Game Event Pass will be accessible, allowing you to track your progress and claim rewards. The LTMs can be found in the multiplayer and Warzone playlists, providing varied gameplay experiences throughout the event. This collaboration not only celebrates the release of "Squid Game" Season 2 but also offers a fresh and engaging experience for Call of Duty players, merging the series's suspenseful elements with the franchise's dynamic gameplay.
