Following the release of the hit Netflix show's second season, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is collaborating with Squid Game to bring new skins, blueprints, and limited-time modes to the game. Since its release in 2021, Squid Game has captured the imaginations of gamers, leading many to make their custom versions in games like Fortnite and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Soon, players can get their hands on Squid Game content being released for Call of Duty.
Although Call of Duty players are excited to get their hands on the Squid Game skins, they're not thrilled about the distribution method of some. The excitement for this collaboration has been somewhat dampened by the introduction of a premium add-on that players will need to pay for in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 or Warzone, on top of its usual Battle Pass and launch price tag. For any players who don’t mind the cost, here's the important info needed to grab the new skins.
Squid Game x Black Ops 6 Release Date
Black Ops 6’s Squid Game Event Arrives During Season 1
According to the official trailer, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s collaboration with Squid Game will be released on January 3, 2025. An official Call of Duty blog has also revealed that Squid Game will be receiving its own Event Pass with a Free and Premium Track, so players who want the best chance at unlocking all the new items will likely want to hop on the day it launches.

All Black Ops 6 x Squid Game Skins
New Squid Game Skins Are Up For Grabs
Call of Duty will introduce new Operator skins for its Black Ops 6 x Squid Game collaboration. Some of these are entirely new Operators, while others are just skins for existing ones. The collection of skins is pretty comprehensive and includes many of the iconic looks from Squid Game.
The skins include contestants in tracksuits, as well as the colorful masked guards. There's also one for Front Man, the game’s masked overseer, and the animal-mask-wearing VIPs who attend the titular games as audience members. The final skin for Call of Duty x Squid Game makes the player look like Young-hee, the Red Light, Green Light robot. Check out how to get each new Operator or skin below.
Player 006 & Player 115 Operator Skins
Both the Player 006 Operator skin for Niran and the Player 115 Operator skin for Maya are free rewards included in the Call of Duty x Squid Game 2 Event Pass. The skins are part of the rewards from the Free Track available to all players.
While Player 006 is an instant unlock, players will need to earn enough XP to unlock Player 115. Playing Black Ops 6 Multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone will contribute to XP gained for the Free Track.
How To Get Front Man Operator
Purchasing the Premium Track of the Event Pass will lead to players getting the Front Man Operator, if they amass enough XP during the event. The Premium Track is confirmed to cost 1,100 CoD Points, which is available for $9.99.
Much like the rewards in the Free Track, players must simply rack up enough XP to get their desired reward. Keep in mind that the Front Man Operator is the Mastery Reward for the Premium Track, meaning completing the entire track is a requirement to unlock the new Operator.
Masked Operators In Pink Guards Tracer Pack
The Pink Guards Tracer Pack bundle comes with three Operators: Masked Manager, Masked Solider, and Masked Worker. It's quite a rare occurrence for a bundle to include three Operators, but it seems like the only variation between the three will be the shape displayed on their masks.
The new Operators will place you in the shoes of the infamous Squid Game guards with their instantly recognizable outfits. The bundle also comes with Assault Rifle and SMG weapon blueprints, among other cosmetics. There's currently no telling how much the bundle will cost.
The VIPs Tracer Pack Masked Operators
The VIPs Tracer Pack bundle brings two Operators to Call of Duty: Panther Mask VIP and Lion Mask VIP. The devs have yet to reveal the official price for the bundle, but much like the Pink Guards bundle, it's unique in that it includes more than one Operator.
Gold trimmings can be seen on the Operators as well as the weapon blueprints included, as the bundle provides an air of luxury that is symbolic of the characters' wealth. The Pinky Up Finishing Move keeps things classy even when dishing out a brutal beating to your opponents.
Young-hee Operator Tracker Pack Bundle
The Young-hee Operator is the main attraction of the Tracer Pack of the same name. It provides an eerily accurate depiction of the robot that takes center stage during Red Light, Green Light.
The bundle comes with an Assault Rifle and Marksman Rifle weapon blueprint, but there's no confirmed cost for it yet. This new Operator is sure to strike fear into your opponents during every Black Ops 6 or Warzone match.
The highly anticipated collaboration between Call of Duty and Squid Game isn't holding back, with new Operators, LTMs, and weapon blueprints up for grabs. Whether you prefer Black Ops 6 multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone, shared progression of your Event Pass will occur as you rack up XP, so get to grinding!
