Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 BlackCell season 5 adds a wearable dog

Among the many myriad additions coming to Name of Responsibility: Fashionable Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.Zero in season 5, one particularly stands out as good-looking and good: Merlin the canine.

In response to right this moment’s Name of Responsibility weblog put up, which particulars the 5 new operators, two new weapons, eight new skins, and extra included with BlackCell (a premium model of the traditional Battle Move), the operator Arthur will be capable to strap a canine to his belt, offering “the unparalleled good thing about companionship.” The canine in query, named Merlin, is a really good-looking good boy. Observe:

When you fireplace a lot as a single spherical in Merlin’s course, I’ll discover you

Not solely does Merlin have a glossy coat of black fur, a candy Secret Service earpiece, and piercing brown eyes, he’s additionally sporting an outfit that wouldn’t look misplaced in Dying Stranding. I can’t even get my cat to put on a bowtie. And she or he’s a tuxedo!

Merlin has his personal ending transfer, which you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of on the 0:25 mark within the BlackCell season 5 trailer. Apparently, this little man (learn: debonair killing machine) received’t be the one pet coming to Fashionable Warfare 2. The weblog put up mentions “different tactical pets,” and I’m holding out hope that cats, regardless of their indifference to the affairs of people, would possibly play a bigger position within the shooter’s future. This man is extra uncanny than cute:

Not less than Activision will get how bizarre orange cats might be

(OK, he’s fairly cute, too, and he’s rocking the hell out of that ballistic vest.)

It’s value noting that Merlin and his unannounced furry buddies can’t be harm on the battlefield. That’s all effectively and good, as a result of I completely don’t wish to see any hurt come to them. In actual fact, if I see Merlin hanging out in your uniform in Fashionable Warfare 2 multiplayer, DMZ, or Warzone 2.0, you might be assured that I can’t shoot at you, even should you’re on the opposite crew. I’ve ideas.

My query is: If these Tactical Companions can’t be harm, what occurs to them when their operator dies? Do they dash away to hold with the opposite animals? Do they sneak off to take a nap? Do they proceed operating rampant, enjoying their half as invincible killing machines that multiply with each respawn, all through the match? I’ve reached out to Activision for remark.

Name of Responsibility: Fashionable Warfare 2 season 5 launches on Aug. 2 throughout multiplayer, DMZ, and Warzone 2.0.
