A recent analysis has revealed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players would need to spend over $1,400 USD to purchase every single bundle released during the game’s first two seasons.
For years, the Call of Duty franchise has generated significant revenue through cosmetic items, but Black Ops 6 has taken this to new heights with an influx of collaborations, events, and store bundles. However, these bundles have often been the cause of outrage in the community due to their hefty price tags.
The staggering cost of acquiring all bundles in Black Ops 6 was recently uncovered by Twitter user Detonated (via Stockpile Bundle Tracker). According to their findings, players would need to spend 190,400 COD Points—equivalent to $1,400 USD—to purchase all 97 bundles released in Seasons 1 and 2.
Black Ops 6 Bundle Costs: A Hefty Sum
Season 1 alone featured 56 bundles totaling 108,100 COD Points, while Season 2 added 41 more bundles, costing an additional 82,300 COD Points. With more seasons on the horizon, this total is expected to rise significantly.
From the outset, players expressed dissatisfaction with Black Ops 6’s unrealistic operator skins. The game quickly introduced neon green dragons and fiery red operators, which many felt clashed with the traditional aesthetic of the Black Ops series.
Activision, however, seems to have disregarded these concerns, as recent updates have added crossover content like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Terminator, and other pop culture icons, further diversifying the game’s cosmetic offerings.
The high price of these bundles has frequently sparked controversy within the Call of Duty community. While much of the criticism has centered on the unrealistic and out-of-place operator skins, Activision has also faced backlash for the escalating costs of its in-game items.
For example, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration required players to spend nearly $100 to acquire all four turtle operators and the premium Event Pass, which included additional cosmetics like a Splinter operator.
Community Backlash Over Rising Bundle Prices
Fans have been vocal about their frustration with the increasing prices of Black Ops 6’s store bundles. One of the most notable examples is the Mastercraft: Radiant Blight bundle, which was initially listed at 3,300 COD Points in the game’s files.
Had it been released at this price, it would have been the most expensive bundle in Call of Duty history. However, upon its official launch, the cost was reduced to 3,000 COD Points (approximately $27), making it one of the priciest bundles in the game to date.
Despite the adjustment, the community remains critical of Activision’s pricing strategy. Many players feel that the cost of these bundles is excessive, especially when considering the sheer number of items being released.
As Black Ops 6 continues to introduce new seasons and collaborations, the debate over the game’s monetization practices shows no signs of slowing down. For now, the $1,400 price tag for Seasons 1 and 2 bundles serves as a stark reminder of the financial commitment required to fully experience the game’s cosmetic offerings.

I’ve spent about $1,200, myself. If you have the disposable income, why not?
Whales like you are the reason, these major companies keep pumping the prices.
I think It’s fair enough at the end of the day, If there’s a demand then there’s going to be a bit of supply.
That’s what I am saying. As long as these whales keep giving into the clear money-grab schemes of these major companies, they won’t see a reason not to pump up their prices even further. It just makes it really hard for the rest of us.
