Call of Duty: Warzone has proved a very popular shakeup of the already-popular Call of Duty series. As players come and go, Call of Duty: Warzone continues to experiment with new events and options. A particularly exciting-looking one recently dropped: an event that brought King Kong and Godzilla into the game. This event, tied directly to the newest Godzilla cinematic universe, also brought several new skins, including one of Mechagodzilla. Here's how to get it.
First off, it should be clarified that the Mechagodzilla skin does not turn players into a tiny version of the robot; it just gives a mask, costume, and weapon highlights.
How to Get Mechagodzilla Skin in Warzone
Currently, the only way to get the entire Mechagodzilla bundle is to buy it from the Warzone store, and there is no way to unlock it in-game through play. This will likely be disappointing to some players, but at least the costume is not as bright and brazen as the "pay to lose" Godzilla skin.
This feels like a bit of a missed opportunity on Activision's part, since crazy quests for content have been a part of the Call of Duty series for a long time, and this event seems like the perfect opportunity for more of the same.
Still, even as paid-only content, Mechagodzilla caused problems for a while as its bundle was not available for individual purchase. While this has since been fixed, it was an odd bug all around. Dr. Disrespect has voiced their unahappiness with the event for various reasons, and this certainly doesn't help matters.
Dr. Disrespect is not alone in his vocal dislike of the Caldera event. Twitch streamer NICKMERCS criticized the Warzone event as well, citing the lack of interaction between the monsters and lack of impact on players.
It's a shame that the event has not had better reception, especially with such a promising premise as Godzilla directly impacting a Call of Duty map and with the promise of cool-looking costumes.
Sadly, neither part of the event has landed too well, contributing to a decreasing player count. One Warzone player thinks bots have been added to the game to compensate for low numbers, although there is no hard evidence for this as of writing.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
