Mike Judge’s iconic ’90s duo, Beavis and Butthead, are grunting and giggling their way into Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone as a part of the game’s upcoming mid-season update.
The announcement was shared via a post on the official Call of Duty Twitter (formerly X) page, featuring an image of the skins players will be able to purchase. Beavis and Butthead stand in the foreground sporting military gear while Coach Buzzcut and Todd Ianuzzi linger in the background, dressed in their standard outfits from the TV show.
The skins use cel-shading to give the characters a cartoonified look that remains true to the show’s two-dimensional aesthetic while still allowing the skins to function in the 3D world of Call of Duty.
But reactions from players have been mixed. Some have pointed out that despite the fact that the Beavis and Butthead skins feature them wearing tactical gear, these skins will surely be easier to see compared to other Operator skins that blend in with the game’s environment a bit better.
“I love Beavis & Butthead, but this is one of the last places I thought I’d see them,” one player wrote. “Plus, won’t they be easier to spot versus other operators?”
Others bemoaned the Fortnite-ification of Call of Duty‘s Operator skins.
“They are trying so hard to be Fortnite,” another player replied.
But some players — especially those who grew up watching the show — can’t wait to open their wallets.
“I speak for everyone when I say we will all be buying,” wrote one big-time Beavis and Butthead fan.
The skins will become available in-game when the Season 4 Reloaded mid-season update goes live. Activision has yet to announce a specific date, but players have around two more days to finish their Season 4 battle pass, so Season 4 Reloaded (and the Beavis and Butthead skins) should become available on or shortly after June 26.
