What you need to know

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 brought back the fan-favorite character, The Replacer (portrayed by Peter Stormare), as part of the marketing push leading up to the game’s release.
  • The character has been in a series of video shorts and ads in which he ‘replaces’ people, from everyday citizens to firefighters to the Pope so that they can spend more time playing Call of Duty.
  • The character is now a playable operator in Black Ops 6, replacing your Operators so they can work on their own prestige master grind.
  • The operator bundle includes a bonus skin for players who hold the BlackCell battle pass upgrade, two weapon blueprints, a calling card, and an emblem for 2400 COD points.

As a seasoned Call of Duty player with countless hours spent on the battlefield, I must say that the return of The Replacer in Black Ops 6 is like a long-lost friend coming home. Peter Stormare’s character has been a staple of my gaming experience since Black Ops 2, and to see him back as a playable operator is a dream come true.

In an exciting turn of events, Treyarch has reintroduced a beloved character from the Black Ops series into Black Ops 6 as a playable operator. The Replacer, a key figure in Call of Duty’s promotional campaign for Black Oops 6, is now available for players to control – and that’s right, you can bring Peter Stormare’s character onto the battlefield!

In promotional material for Black Ops 2, a character named “The Replacer,” portrayed by Peter Stormare, was introduced. This character has appeared in every subsequent Black Ops series release except Cold War. The concept revolves around The Replacer assuming everyday roles of people, celebrities, and politicians to allow them more time for playing Call of Duty. For amusement, Stormare’s Replacer even commandeered the Call of Duty social media accounts in the days preceding the game launch.

The character was last controlled as an operator when it was introduced to Black Ops 4’s “Black Market” in 2019. Now, in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the Replacer is available again, allowing players to purchase a bundle so that their operators can take a break from the battlefield and spend more time playing Call of Duty.

As a fan, if you’re considering swapping out your current Operator with The Replacer, you’ll need to fork over 2400 Call of Duty Points. You can acquire these points by purchasing them on your preferred platform or gradually earning them through progress in the battle pass. However, the journey to amassing 2400 points might be a lengthy one due to the slow rate at which they accumulate naturally.

In the game Call of Duty, the points you acquire are tied to the specific platform where you originally bought them. However, operator bundles, weapon blueprints, and other items that can be obtained with Call of Duty points are accessible across different platforms. When you purchase The Replacer once, you’re able to utilize him on any platform associated with your Activision account in Black Ops 6 or Call of Duty: Warzone.

Besides the default Replacer operator skin, this package comes with an additional operator skin for those who have advanced their Season 1 battle pass to the BlackCell version. Moreover, it features two unique weapon designs as well. The AS VAL assault rifle is adorned with a stylish “Quick Wit” blueprint featuring captivating “Badassery tracers,” while the PU-21 LMG receives a corresponding design labeled “Ramifications.” To maximize your new weapons’ potential, consider these 5 adjustable controller settings to help you compete with mouse and keyboard players.

Apart from two Operator styles and two weapon designs, this collection also offers a fresh finishing move. This maneuver can be employed by any Operator. When triggered, The Replacer shoves aside the active player’s Operator, performing an elimination animation that is both amusing (and embarrassing, of course) in its execution. To complete the package, there’s also an animated Calling Card and emblem included.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is currently accessible on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC through Steam, Battle.net, and the Microsoft Store, as well as PlayStation 4 and 5 systems. Season 1 has begun, and we’re rapidly approaching CODmas, so grab $20 worth of COD Points from Walmart to become The Replacer today!
