A recently released finishing move, 'Roped In,' included in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Squid Game Event Pass, is reportedly not functioning as expected. Players are finding that the move fails to eliminate opponents, rendering it useless despite being a paid feature of the premium Event Pass.
The collaboration between Activision and Netflix for the Squid Game Season 2 celebration brought a limited-time event to Call of Duty featuring iconic characters, games, and an Event Pass mirroring the structure of the seasonal Battle Pass. This includes a free track and a premium track offering cosmetic items, weapon blueprints, and the Front Man operator skin.
The 'Roped In' finishing move, part of the premium Event Pass, has become a source of frustration. Videos circulating online clearly show the animation completing without eliminating the targeted opponent.
This issue follows previous community backlash against the inclusion of another paid Battle Pass within the game. While a free version exists, many players are expressing discontent with the premium version's 1,100 COD point price tag, citing it as 'unacceptable' and another example of excessive microtransactions.
Despite these controversies, the Squid Game crossover event offers several additions, including new operator skins, weapon blueprints, and limited-time modes. Black Ops 6 players can experience the 'Red Light, Green Light' mode, while Warzone players have access to a dedicated Squid Game playlist featuring rotating challenges on Urzikstan and random 'Red Light, Green Light' triggers.
