The Boys Are Ready to Take Over Call of Duty

For those unfamiliar with Vought International, The Boys is a TV show on everybody’s watch list. Superheroes coexist alongside non-superpowered human beings in their world, and the community recognizes their work, both in good and bad ways and even in downright ugly situations.

All stemming from one mutagenic super serum known as “Temp V.”

The Temp V Filed Upgrade

Introducing the Temp V Field Upgrade: an exclusive concoction developed by Vought International, designed to fulfill the desires of those yearning to become Superheros (Supes).

This remarkable blend, although not flawless, bestows one of four randomized superpowers upon consumption, occupying your Field Upgrade slot. However, it diverges from the typical Field Upgrade functionality. Once Temp V is utilized, you gain the freedom to activate the acquired power at your discretion. Yet, if you are eliminated before activating it, the power dissipates just like a standard Field Upgrade, leaving you empty-handed.

Additionally, it appears that traditional Field Upgrades negate the effects of Temp V. Any Operator test subjects who come across a Munitions Box, Dead Silence, or any other Field Upgrade inadvertently relinquish their acquired power or the Temp V shot.

Here are the four distinctive superpowers that can potentially arise from Temp V:

  • Charge Jump – Operators who love fast movement techniques — or maybe remember a Haunting or two —know how much a Charge Jump propels them across the map in leaps and bounds. Just like Queen Maeve, an Operator doesn’t suffer any fall damage when they land from a Charge Jump; in fact, they deal splash damage to anyone or anything within a short radius of the Operator’s landing spot.
  • Electric Shockwave – To put it simply, “electricity goes in, blast comes out.” This shockwave sends a powerful electrical explosion that injures Operators and AI Combatants, as well as destroys vehicles and equipment. Think of this as a super-EMP that – like the other abilities – can help turn the tide of team fights.
  • Laser Vision: Upon activation, an Operator levitates and fires a laser beam that sears through enemy targets in whatever direction they are looking. It’s just like one of many powers that Homelander has, but it does leave the user open to backfire.
  • Teleport: Forget normal on-foot navigation throughout Vondel; Teleport warps an Operator upward, which is extremely helpful when trying to escape a fight or move to higher ground. And unlike when Hughie Campbell does it, your Operator Skin isn’t affected in any way – no lost clothing, in other words – whenever this happens.

Temp V is accessible to all Warzone playlists, including DMZ, except Ranked Play. The very best Ranked Warzone players don’t need a Temp V injection and should heed Starlight’s advice on their road to the Top 250. Otherwise, expect Temp V to be a lot rarer in DMZ compared to Battle Royale modes.

Diabolical Camo Challenges

Diabolical Camo Challenges is the third installment of the new mid-season tradition: a set of challenges for every weapon class to prove your total arsenal mastery.

Here are all the Diabolical Camo Challenges:

  • Assault Rifles: Get 50 Operator headshots
  • Battle Rifles: Get 25 Operator kills from behind
  • SMGs: Get 250 Operator kills
  • Shotguns: Get 30 Operator kills while prone
  • LMGs: Get 30 Operator kills while using a suppressor
  • Marksman Rifles: Get 30 Operator kills while mounted
  • Sniper Rifles: Get 3 kills without dying 10 times
  • Sidearms: Get 50 enemy longshot kills
  • Launcher: Get 40 Operator kills
  • Melee: Get 30 enemy kills

Complete all ten to unlock a superbly diabolical (and extremely red) universal camouflage, which can be used on all weapons once unlocked, and a Weapon Charm, proving mastery of this event.

Operators Vs. Superheroes | Limited Edition of Warzone

Throughout the locales of Vondel and Al Mazrah, the superheroes from The Boys have effectively captured attention through vibrant murals and eye-catching billboard advertisements. However, for those eagerly anticipating the arrival of new characters in Season 04 Reloaded, here is valuable information concerning The Boys Operator Bundles:

Starlight | The Boys Take over Call of Duty | Available on July 12

The Boys: StarlightBundle, priced at 2,400 COD Points, features Starlight — the ever-burning bright doer of good — as an Operator.

Starlight trades in her powers for three Tracer Weapon Blueprints with Dismemberment built for short- to midrange combat — the “Des Moines Defender” Assault Rifle, the Pro-Tuned “World Saver” SMG, and the “Blinding Light” Sidearm — unless it’s a Finishing Move. In that case, it would be time for some “Necessary Evil,” which is perfect to put an exclamation point on a successful close-range engagement.

The Bundle also includes a Weapon Charm, Loading Screen, Weapon Sticker, and Emblem.

Homelander | The Boys Take over Call of Duty | Available on July 16

The Boys: Homelander Bundle, priced at 2,400 COD Points, includes “the only man in the sky,” Homelander. He comes with an absolutely wicked “Laser Everyone” Finishing Move, as well as three Tracer Weapon Blueprints with Dismemberment:

The first is the “Bravado” Assault Rifle, the second is the Pro-Tuned “Vought Issue” Assault Rifle, and the third is the Pro-Tuned “Superiority Complex” SMG. With those powers combined, any Operator can be super-scary anywhere from close to medium range and look the part of Homelander by playing as him.

This Bundle also includes a Weapon Decal, Emblem, Loading Screen, and Weapon Charm.

Black Noir | The Boys Take over Call of Duty | Available on July 20

The Boys: Black Noir Bundle, priced at 2,400 COD Points, includes the Operator that was once Homelander’s best friend. Now Black Noir is ready to silence anyone standing in his path to victory.

He achieves this with two Tracer Weapon Blueprints with Dismemberment, the “Unspoken Word” Sniper Rifle Blueprint and the “Quiet Rage” Assault Rifle Blueprint. Additionally included are “Noir’s Blades,” a melee tool that completes a stealth loadout with either of those two Primary Weapons. Once he gets too close to Operators, Black Noir can perform the “Shhh” Finishing Move included in this Bundle, a devastating yet silent attack that puts Operators to sleep permanent rest. All of these tools are at your disposal with this Bundle, custom-built for stealth situations across all modes.

There is also a Weapon Charm, Loading Screen, Weapon Sticker, and Emblem included in this Bundle.
