Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Promo Lets Players Put a Dorito on Their In-Game Weapons

Much like with other games in the series,Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris no stranger to promotions. As was the case in previous years, one of theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warpromos is directly tied to Mountain Dew and Doritos, but this time, there is another layer to the campaign.

So far, thecurrent Dew and Doritos promotionforCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warhas worked like normal. Players can purchase specially marked packages of either product and receive double XP codes to use withinBlack Ops Cold War. While the codes vary in length, the promotion has been the same as normal — until now.

While Doritos has also included aPS5 giveaway in this year’s promotion, there is another aspect to theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Wardeal as well. By directly messaging the official Mountain Dew Twitter account with #DoritosDewDrop, Mountain Dew will reply back with a code to redeem in-game items. Rather than more double XP, however, players can unlock a Doritos weapon charm and Mountain Dew emblem by sending a message to the account.

Thanks to these items, the latest Mountain Dew and DoritosCall of Dutypromotion now has shades of theBlack Ops Cold WarTotino’s program. With that system, players could receive in-game items beyond XP as well, giving players a bit more variety in the rewards they get for purchasing one of the food packages. It seems like Mountain Dew and Doritos have followed suit, with the brands providing in-game rewards beyond XP codes for the first time sinceCall of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

The Doritos chip is quite the interesting weapon charm, and for huge fans of the snack food, sending a private message to the Mountain Dew Twitter account may be worthwhile. Like the Nuketown cosmetic pack, the Doritos charm leaked alongside otherBlack Ops Cold War’sseason 1 cosmeticsa few days back. With its inclusion, Treyarch has already shown a willingness to go a bit goofier than Infinity Ward with some of its customization options. With this only being “the first of three in-game item drops” as well, more Doritos and Dew cameos are on the way.

Love it or hate it,Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warfans can now share their love for the cheesy chip in multiplayer and Zombies alike. Before long, aCall of Dutyweapon with a Dorito dangling from its body may be shareable on social mediadue to an Activision patent, making this charm even more ridiculous.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
