The Black Ops 6 in-game store continues its regular updates with the introduction of the "Toxic Pawsitivity" Mastercraft Tracer Pack. This pack features a unique finisher called "Positivity!" that adds a touch of lightheartedness to the often intense gameplay.
The Call of Duty franchise has embraced the live-service model, offering a rotating selection of cosmetic bundles for purchase using COD Points. While some players appreciate the variety and unique designs, others express concerns about the increasing focus on microtransactions and the shift away from earning cosmetics through gameplay challenges.
This new pack is highlighted by the "Positivity!" finisher, showcased by CharlieIntel on Twitter. Available for 2400 COD Points, the "Toxic Pawsitivity" pack is specifically designed for the Black Ops 6 operator Bailey. However, the finisher itself can be equipped and used by any character in the game. Executing a finisher involves approaching an enemy from behind and initiating a melee attack, triggering the equipped animation as long as the process isn't interrupted.
The "Positivity!" finisher, true to its name, injects a surprising amount of whimsy into the game. The animation depicts the player lying down next to their downed opponent before delivering a final shot. This quirky action complements the overall theme of the "Toxic Pawsitivity" pack, which features a vibrant mix of cat-themed designs and cheerful aesthetics. The included Baseball Bat is particularly noteworthy, boasting a Mastercraft inspect animation that transforms it into a miniature DJ setup complete with a feline disc jockey.
While the "Positivity!" finisher has generally been well-received, the broader topic of cosmetic microtransactions in Call of Duty remains a point of contention within the community. Many players have voiced their preference for more realistic or grounded skins, expressing disappointment with the prevalence of more outlandish designs. With the store continuing to roll out bundles similar to "Toxic Pawsitivity," this debate is likely to persist. However, the game does offer a range of grittier cosmetic options for players seeking a more traditional aesthetic.
