The Black Ops 6 community has responded negatively to the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) collaboration, criticizing both its price point and departure from the game's military aesthetic.

Players on Reddit have particularly criticized the cosmetics' pricing, which approaches $100, with many stating they wouldn't purchase the skins even at a fraction of the cost. One player expressed frustration at seeing "leonardo run around with a shotgun," while others noted how it breaks the game's immersive military atmosphere.

Some community members have resigned themselves to these collaborations, noting that Call of Duty has featured non-military cosmetics since Advanced Warfare. The trend accelerated during Modern Warfare (2019)'s sixth season, leading some to compare the game to Fortnite's crossover-heavy approach.

The TMNT collaboration joins an existing array of unconventional elements in Black Ops 6, including:

  • Laser-shooting weapons
  • Electrical wave guns
  • Zombie-themed weapon skins
  • Various franchise crossovers

Despite vocal criticism, Activision appears likely to continue this strategy of incorporating popular franchises into the Call of Duty universe.
