Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 BlackCell season 5 adds a wearable dog

There are many new additions that will be coming to Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 The following are some examples of how to get started: Warzone 2.0 Merlin, the dog is a handsome and good-looking character in Season 5.

According to today’s Call of Duty blog post, which details the five new operators, two new weapons, eight new skins, and more included with BlackCell (a premium version of the normal Battle Pass), the operator Arthur will be able to strap a dog to his belt, providing “the unparalleled benefit of companionship.” The dog in question, named Merlin, is a very handsome good boy.

Not only does Merlin have a sleek coat of black fur, a sweet Secret Service earpiece, and piercing brown eyes, he’s also sporting an outfit that wouldn’t look out of place in Death Stranding. I can’t even get my cat to wear a bowtie. And she’s a tuxedo!

Merlin’s own finisher can be seen at the 0;25 mark of the BlackCell Season 5 Trailer. Apparently, this little guy (read: debonair killing machine) won’t be the only pet coming to Modern Warfare 2 The blog post mentions “other tactical pets,” and I’m holding out hope that cats, despite their indifference to the affairs of humans, might play a larger role in the shooter’s future. The guy in the picture is less cute than uncanny:

(OK, he’s pretty cute, too, and he’s rocking the hell out of that ballistic vest.)

It’s worth noting that Merlin and his unannounced furry friends can’t be hurt on the battlefield. That’s all well and good, because I absolutely do not want to see any harm come to them. Merlin will be hanging on to your uniform if you see him. Modern Warfare 2, DMZ, a multi-player game, You can also find out more about Warzone 2.0, you can be assured that I will not shoot at you, even if you’re on the other team. I’m a man of principle.

My question is: If these Tactical Companions can’t be hurt, what happens to them when their operator dies? They run away and hang out with other animals. They sneak away to nap. They continue to run rampant and play their role as invincible killer machines, multiplying with each respawn for the entire match. I’ve reached out to Activision for comment.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 The launch of season 5 is set for August 2, across all multiplayer modes, DMZ, Warzone 2.0.
