In the newest blog post from Activision, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is 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 pack called 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 of Call 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. This watch 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 Warfare is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
