Skins and cosmetics have especially become big moneymakers for the Call of Duty franchise in the last few years as microtransactions have taken off in the video game world. Now that the COD series has made its way to the mobile platform, it should come as no surprise that the developer are finding new and interesting ways to make skins for the iOS and Android versions of the game. In fact, there are more than a few players who believe there is a bit more attention being paid to the mobile version when compared to what’s on offer on the PlayStation and Xbox consoles.

Recently, one Reddit user in Alpha_Marine showed off one of the most impressive gun skins to ever pop up in any Call of Duty game. In a short video showing off what is known as the Mythic Peacekeeper gun skin, the footage showed a player holding the glowing blue and gold gun when it suddenly started separating into several pieces. Once everything seemed to fall away but a small blue gemstone, that gem started to shake a bit and then all the pieces of the gun came back together.
It’s not clear if this particular weapon might be considered “pay to win” as other Call of Duty skins have been accused of over the last few years, but it certainly looks like an impressive weapon. As other Reddit users quickly pointed out, its appearance isn’t the only thing that stands out.
Several other users on the social media site pointed out that in order to get this particular skin, it doesn’t matter if it’s considered one of the Call of Duty pay to lose or pay to win skins, what is clear is that people need to pay quite a bit. According to several Redditors, that gun skin costs $150 and can even cost $200 more in order to upgrade it.
Several users used the post to lament just how much money COD developers are perceived to be trying to make off the microtransactions surrounding the games. It’s possible that if the rumored Call of Duty skin sharing does come to pass, it could blunt the anger some have towards the continued rolling out of microtransactions.
Call of Duty: Mobile is available now on iOS and Android devices.
