Call of Duty Now Has a Rubber Ducky Skin

Call of Duty added the rubber ducky-themed Bath Time skin, which is part of a larger bundle. This continues Call of Duty's trend of occasionally releasing fantastical, unrealistic skins.

Like many multiplayer games, skins have become a central part of Call of Duty's player experience. Skins are also a somewhat controversial matter for some Call of Duty fans, with some wishing for the series to stick to mil-sim skins while others enjoy the brighter and more exciting outfits.

Call of Duty added the Wildlife Wanted: Rubber Duck bundle to its Store section. The bundle costs 1800 CoD Points (about $18) and includes the Bath Time skin, the Rubber Rampage Pulemyot 762 blueprint, The Ducky DM56 blueprint, a What the Duck weapon sticker, the Duck This calling card, the Quackin' Up weapon charm, and the Bath Time emblem. The Bath Time skin is the headliner of the bundle, which sports a yellow and black outfit topped with a rubber duck head. The skin stirred up some controversy after it was revealed last week.

This will probably come as a relief to some Call of Duty fans after a tracer-less bundle was released in December for 2400 CoD Points. Despite the new bundle's lack of tracer weapons, it offers pretty good value for 1800 CoD Points and will likely become popular due to its fantastical
