New heroes arrive
Call of Duty’s big new Season 5 update arrives on August 7, and with it comes a range of new operators.
These include the newest BlackCell operator, Solace, along with the latest licensed character, Fisherman from I Know What You Did Last Summer. Players can also get their hands on new skins for The Replacer, along with the Season 5 Battle Pass operator, Sims.
Scroll through the gallery below to see all the new operators coming to Call of Duty with the Season 5 update.
Solace
Solace is the new BlackCell operator, and he’s available right away when Season 5 launches on August 7 for people who buy the new BlackCell bundle.
“Clad in refined, golden armor with ethereal wisps and a glowing halo resplendent with shards of light, Solace remains calm in an increasingly chaotic storm,” reads a line from his description.
Sims
Lawrence Sims, a Vietnam War veteran who went on to work for the CIA, is another new operator for Call of Duty Season 5. He’s available as an instant unlock for people who buy the Season 5 battle pass.
“His time in the clandestine service eventually took its toll, and Sims returned to the Army. A few years later, he briefly reunited with his CIA teammates on a mission to capture a Pantheon scientist,” Activision said of Sims.
The Replacer variants
Peter Stormare’s The Replacer character was already available in Call of Duty but he’s getting a couple new variants in Season 5.
One of the new operator skins, Strike Force, turns The Replacer into a jungle warfare survivalist donning a sleeveless jacket and multiple tattoos. Then there’s a “horn-helmed barbarian” version of The Replacer, Replacement Warrior, coming.
“With bulging biceps, fur gauntlets, a loincloth that won’t quit, and a rather dashing tooth neckless,” Activision said.
Pricing was not announced, but both will be available sometime mid-season.
The Fisherman
A new I Know What You Did Last Summer is in theaters now, and Activision is helping to promote the movie with a new operator, The Fisherman. You can buy this character sometime mid-season for an undisclosed price.
More bundles
In addition, Activision is releasing at least three more store bundles in Season 5. These include Tracer Pack: IDEAD 2 Mastercraft bundle, Tracer Pack: Dogs of War bundle, and the Tracer Pack: Behemoth Ultra Skin bundle. Activision didn’t provide any information about these bundles beyond their names and the teaser images above, however.
