Call Of Duty 4/20 Event Brings Cheech And Chong, A Stoned Sloth, And Weed-Themed Bundles

Celebrate the stoner holiday in Call of Duty with Cheech and Chong operators, a Blaze Up mode, and more.

10 Comments

Call of Duty's upcoming Season 3 update will have a variety of 4/20-themed content, it's been announced, including Cheech and Chong operators and an event called Blaze Up.

The legendary stoners Cheech and Chong are coming to Call of Duty: Warzone, Modern Warfare III, and Warzone Mobile in a DLC bundle, and they're voiced by Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong themselves. The stoner-comedy legends will be available to buy in a tracer pack that also comes with three weapon blueprints, a sticker, a large decal, a loading screen, and the "Secondhand Smoke" finishing move.

Given that the bundle has two operators and its own dedicated finishing move, this will likely be one of the more expensive DLC bundles yet, though official pricing was not announced in Activision's blog post.

Continuing the stoner theme, Modern Warfare III will have a new event called "Blaze Up" that promises "exclusively dank rewards." Activision warned fans that this event "may cause the munchies." In Warzone, players can try out a mode called High Trip. This is a limited-time event that has players collecting gummies to "sharpen" their senses and "smoke out" the competition.

There is also a bundle called "Stoney Sloth" coming to Call of Duty in Season 3. A teaser image shows a sloth with bloodshot eyes and marijuana leaves covering his body.

There is also a "new" map coming to Modern Warfare III called Growhouse. This is an updated version of the Sphere map from Call of Duty: Vanguard that morphed from an experimental test site to a "backwoods narcotics den nestled in remote foothills."

Specific release dates were not announced for any of the weed-themed content, but it's reasonable to assume Activision would want to release this content close to the stoner holiday on 4/20.

The Call of Duty franchise has a long history of loving marijuana and smoking grass in general, so it's no surprise to see these latest announcements.

The Cheech and Chong DLC was first revealed via a datamining effort that also suggested Snoop Dogg, another fan of smoking weed, is returning to Call of Duty. This was confirmed in Activision's blog post for Season 3, but a release date was not announced.

I was about to make a comment about current marijuana use and the increased potency of modern marijuana leading to increased ER visits and a 3 fold increase in MJ induced psychosis.....but COD is also a game about killing people with guns...soooo...

I guess as a society we are good with all of it.

Sigh. Aren't we past this? Didn't this stop being funny a long, long time ago? This kind of Beavis and Butthead giggling at weed is just silly. It doesn't come across as funny or edgy, but more like grown adults acting like three thirteen year olds who have stolen a can of Busch Light and think they're so cool when they're sharing it because "I think I can feel the buzz, dude!"

You want to say to such kids "Kids, you are not cool. The fact you think you are is silly."

I mean, a sloth covered in leaves? Umm....

This is about as edgy or as funny as DLC of David Lee Roth doing a keg stand. And it will be expensive and people will buy it. Likely thirteen year olds who will laugh at it all night after splitting a supercool beer. Right after they "feel the buzz, dude!"

@olddadgamer: Ah yes, the first thing I think about when buying DLC; is this edgy and counter-culture?

@mcnichoj: It doesn't have to be edgy or counterculture, it just has to be not stupid.

This, you can almost hear Butthead all "Huh huh...huh huh....weed." Only it's not Butthead, it's the developers.

OK this is getting out of hand hahaha.

Though tbh I'm kind of surprised they didn't go with Harold and Kumar; seems like Cheech and Chong appeals more to boomers and gen x, less to the younger generations that play more COD.

@Ohaidere: to be fair, Cod is rated mature. Kids play it because their parents don't care. Also, weed is legal in my state

@restatbonfire: Nah I get there are nuances. Still illegal federally and in many states, but I just deleted because I just can't bring myself to wade into it since I doubt a single person would change their mind one way or another lol

@mcnichoj: Depends which weed you're talking about. That stuff in Cheech's era was pretty chill. Mellow high.

Some of the new stuff coming out of the dispensaries is so highly potent its pretty much a completely different drug. Its wreaking havoc in the ERs across the legalized states right now. Pervert the minds? No but it sure is increasing the instances of MJ induced psychosis.
