Infinity Ward launched Season 1 forCall of Duty Modern Warfareearlier this month, adding a Battle Pass and new content for what it describes as thebiggest free content drop in the history of the franchise. The trailer also showcased two new characters as well including Mara and a masked soldier named Nikto. While many players have been wondering how to unlock this unique looking character, the answer has finally arrived and many players likely won’t be pleased.
In the newest blog post from Activision,Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis getting a second wave of brand new content including new game modes like Cranked, special Spec Ops experiences, and new maps for the multiplayer modes. For many fans though, the update also makes the former Russian FSB deep cover agent, Nikto available for players.

In order to unlock the character, fans will unfortunately need to shell out money for him.Nikto is included as part of a special store packcalled the Nikto Operator Bundle. The pack can be found inside the in-game store and includes the character, new weapon blueprints, a calling card, other personalization items, and a new watch called Father Time. The bundle also includes a single tier unlock, for those still trying to progress through the Battle Pass.
The bundle itself costs 2400 CoD points, which roughly translates to $19.99 USD and puts it well out of the range from what players can earn from the Battle Pass.
Bundles have started to become a major element to the game, likely due to Activision removing the season pass option that was standard in previous games. Inside ofCall of Duty Modern Warfare, players can instead spend their money on seasonal battle passes, cosmetic items, and these new bundles. One item in particular is causing an uproar with fans as a watch called Time to Die is only available inside of the 2000 CoD points Mother Russia bundle. Thiswatch displays a kill counter during a match, a feature that many fans have been asking for, but not likely to be placed behind a paywall.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
