A recently leaked Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 video showcases a rather unusual and humorous new finisher: a unicorn that fires a laser beam from its rear end. This outlandish cosmetic item is the latest in a series of increasingly extravagant additions to the game.
Since Black Ops 6's launch, developer Treyarch has steadily introduced a wide array of cosmetic operator skins and finisher animations. These range from collaborative efforts with other franchises, like the upcoming Squid Game 2 crossover, to unique and sometimes absurd creations like the aforementioned unicorn. While these cosmetics don't impact gameplay, they offer players diverse options for self-expression.
A Twitter user, HeyImAlaix, shared the leaked video of the unicorn finisher. The animation depicts a player grabbing the unicorn's tail, aiming it at an opponent, and obliterating them with the surprising laser beam. While Black Ops 6 finishers have become progressively more imaginative, this one stands out for its sheer absurdity. The release date for this unique finisher remains unknown, but it's bound to generate buzz within the community.
This latest addition to Black Ops 6's cosmetic lineup may disappoint players hoping for a more grounded aesthetic. While some initial optimism existed, it quickly faded as Treyarch continued to unveil increasingly unrealistic operator skins. This trend aligns with the direction the series has taken in recent years. The developers face a difficult balancing act: catering to players who enjoy these outlandish items while acknowledging the preferences of those who prefer a more realistic approach. The continued popularity of these cosmetics suggests their presence is unlikely to change soon.
Beyond the peculiar unicorn finisher, Black Ops 6 has more content planned for 2025. Details are scarce, but a developer recently hinted at additional classic map remasters. This news will likely excite players who have expressed dissatisfaction with the current map selection. Hopefully, Treyarch will provide more information about upcoming content as the new year approaches.
