Legendary Call of Duty Character Becomes Playable Operator in Black Ops 6

In the gaming world, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has revived a beloved character, The Replacer, played by Peter Stormare, as a key part of its promotional campaign. Known for his quirky ability to ‘replace’ people—from everyday workers to the Pope himself—so they can enjoy more Call of Duty time, The Replacer now steps into the game itself as a playable operator. This addition comes as part of an operator bundle, offering players a bonus skin with the BlackCell battle pass upgrade, two weapon blueprints, a calling card, and an emblem for 2400 COD Points.

Treyarch didn’t just bring The Replacer back for fun; they made him a central piece of the Black Ops 6 experience. For those who’ve followed his antics since Black Ops 2, this is an opportunity to bring Peter Stormare’s character right into the action. This isn’t just a cameo—players can now guide him through the battlefield themselves.

The character, first adored in Call of Duty’s Black Ops 2 commercials, has appeared again in every Black Ops game save for Cold War. In these ads, The Replacer hilariously takes over the duties of various people, ensuring they have more time for gaming. His return is celebrated, with Stormare even taking over Call of Duty’s social media ahead of the game’s launch.

Previously available as an operator in Black Ops 4’s “Black Market,” The Replacer now makes a grand return in Black Ops 6. Players can snag the operator bundle, giving their operators some respite while they dive into Call of Duty action. Check out a preview of his antics online—you’ll see just how much fun he’s bringing to the game.

Purchasing The Replacer will set you back 2400 Call of Duty Points, which you can acquire on your chosen platform. These can be bought outright, or painfully slowly earned throughout the battle pass. While usually around $20, don’t expect COD Points to go on sale, not even during the Black Friday rush. However, Xbox Game Pass subscribers enjoy a nice perk with a 20% discount through Microsoft or Xbox stores.

Once bought, anything obtained using COD Points, such as operator bundles and weapon blueprints, are usable across platforms, thanks to cross-platform functionality tied to your Activision account. This means you can enjoy The Replacer, whether you’re playing on Black Ops 6 or Warzone, regardless of the console or PC.

The bundle doesn’t stop at operator skins and weapon blueprints. You also get a special finishing move where The Replacer humorously ushers your current operator aside, taking down foes with a comedic flair. Plus, an animated Calling Card and emblem are thrown in to complete the set.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is out now across various platforms including Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation consoles. With Season 1 launching and holiday events on the horizon, there’s no better time to dive in and grab those COD Points for a chance to play as The Replacer. Whether you’re in for the thrilling gameplay or the comedic charm of Peter Stormare’s character, this is one update you won’t want to miss.
