The iconic Ninja Turtles have emerged from their underground lair and ventured into the ****** Ops 6 universe. For those who've longed to be part of this legendary squad, here's how to get TMNT Operator skins in BO6. How to unlock TMNT Operators in BO6 You can get TMNT Operator skins through the BO6 Event Pass or Store Bundles, which are all available now with the Season 2 Reloaded launch. Bundles will include characters like Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael Tracer Packs. Each TMNT pack costs 2,400 CP each, translating to $17.99. However, there's an exciting opportunity to snag some skins for free through the Call of Duty x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration event, kicking off on Feb. 27. The Free Track offers two ninja foot clans, among other TMNT-inspired rewards. While the Ninja Turtle Operators aren't part of these gifts, you can still unlock a Splinter Operator through the Premium Track. Image via Activision Based on past events, you must earn a large amount of XP to reach the final tiers in the Event Pass. That means you'll have to grind through modes in BO6 Multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone. If you have them, it's the perfect time to use Double XP Tokens. There is also a new limited-time mode, the TMNT Moshpit, which gives you robust Turtle powers. Anyone who equips the Splinter or Turtle Operators unlocks distinct skills through Scorestreaks. Raphael, for instance, harnesses the ability to have unlimited Shuriken, while Donatello can see enemies through the wall temporarily. In addition to the Multiplayer mode, Zombies has a TMNT feature of its own in Cowabunga Cranked. All maps, including Liberty Falls and The Tomb, will showcase a Cranked Timer where you'll need to defeat enemies before the timer runs out. It'll be challenging to achieve, but you can extend your duration through the Pizza Box and Slice-O-Pie perks.

I'm ashamed to say that I've become pretty numb to the world of videogame layoffs now - it doesn't mean that I don't care and feel deep sympathy for every dev that loses their job, it just fails to surprise me anymore. However, when I saw that NetEase has laid off developers working on Marvel Rivals - the scorching hot hero shooter that is one of the most popular live service titles around right now despite being less than three months old - my jaw hit the floor. While NetEase is yet to confirm this news, LinkedIn posts from two developers - including Marvel Rivals' game director - suggest that those at its Seattle studio are being let go.

If you know just one thing about FromSoft's recent history of so-called "Soulslike" games, you probably know that they have a well-earned reputation for absolutely brutal difficulty. But these titles apparently just weren't difficult enough for streamer dinossindgeil (aka Nico) who spent the weekend beating seven of FromSoft's most punishing titles without taking a single hit or leveling up even once. Nico's conquest of what he calls "The God Run 3" dates back to 2022, when he took down all three Dark Souls games as well as ******'s Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Elden Ring live on his Twitch stream without sustaining any damage from enemies. Back then, though, Nico relied at least a little bit on grinding leveled-up characters and high-end gear to make the game's most difficult bosses a bit more manageable. Even with that advantage, though, a successful God Run 3 completion took Nico 120 days of real-time effort due to frequent restarts whenever he took a single hit. This time around, Nico cranked up the difficulty even further by deciding not to level his characters even once (though he was able to increase his stats and abilities in some games with level 1-accessible items and weapons). After his first level 1 God Run attempt two months ago, Nico's efforts culminated in a roughly 11-hour multi-day marathon run over the weekend, which saw Nico break down in tears at the end of the ordeal.
