The in-game store for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the Warzone battle royale is always full of interesting cosmetics that players can purchase with COD Points (CP). Sometimes these cosmetics shoot for realism, and other times they are just bizarre, which is one way to describe the new Anime Express bundle that's currently available to purchase in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare store.
The Anime Express bundle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare comes with the J-Pop Pop submachine gun, the Cuteness Reload shotgun, and the Faithful Companion weapon charm, which is literally a body pillow with an anime character on it. Those that purchase the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Anime Express bundle will get more than just a waifu pillow, though; the bundle also includes a special anime-themed "Senpai" vehicle skin.
The Senpai vehicle skin and all the rest of the Anime Express bundle content is available to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players for 1600 CP. The main way players can get CP in the game is by purchasing it through microtransactions, but it's also possible to get some CP by leveling up the Battle Pass.
However, leveling up the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 3 Battle Pass is not really an effective way to get enough CP to purchase content from the store. Really the CP in the Battle Pass is so players can purchase the next season's Battle Pass without having to buy more microtransactions. This encourages players to keep playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare regularly, because if they don't, then they may fail to get enough CP to get the next Battle Pass for free.
Moving forward, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare fans can expect Activision to keep funneling new cosmetic bundles into the game. After all, Activision made almost $1 billion on microtransactions alone in the first quarter of 2020, so it wouldn't make sense for the company to stop pushing them now.
On the bright side, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare microtransactions are not nearly as offensive as they are in other games. Any new guns, like the recently released Bruen MK9 LMG, can be earned through normal gameplay, or are part of the free version of the Battle Pass. The cosmetics provide no in-game advantage and since Infinity Ward is releasing new content for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on a regular basis, many fans are OK with the game's use of microtransactions.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
