Warzone x The Boys Crossover Will Add Various Superpowers As Field Upgrades

A recent Call of Duty press release broke down the various bits of new content and features that will be dropping into Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone following the launch of Season 4, Reloaded, this July 12, and among the numerous details was the confirmation of a crossover with the hit TV show The Boys, which will include Operators skins and new “Temp V” Field Upgrades.

The hit Amazon Prime show first released in 2019 and has been wildly popular ever since, due to its shockingly dark and brutal subversion of the superhero genre. The official The Boys Twitter account promoted the crossover with the video below, showing one of its featured characters, Black Noir, being interviewed about it, and, appropriately so, only answering in gestures.

The crossover will feature three limited-time store bundles (each costing 2,400 COD points) that will allow the player to fill the shoes of one of three iconic The Boys characters, Starlight, Homelander, and Black Noir. The bundles also come with weapon blueprints, tracer rounds, finishing moves, loading screens, and more.

However, if you’re not the type to spend on skins, the The Boys crossover will also include a gameplay feature usable by all players. A new brand of Field Upgrade called “Temp V” will let players live out their superhero fantasies, at least temporarily. The Temp V will be available in all Warzone playlists, except for Ranked play.

Upon activation, Temp V will award players one of four possible superpower abilities at random. Unlike regular Field Upgrades though, once the Temp V is consumed, you can use the power as many times as you want. It is still lost upon death, however, and picking up a traditional Field Upgrade like Dead Silence will replace the upgrade slot causing the player to lose the Temp V power.

The four superpowers are as follows:

• Charge Jump: Modeled after Queen Maeve, players can jump large distances and, rather than taking fall damage, players deal damage to anyone near their landing zone.
• Electric Shockwave: The shockwave damages anyone around and destroys vehicles and equipment. The press release further describes it as a “super-EMP.”
• Laser Vision: The player levitates and fires a deadly laser beam just by aiming their camera, but it will apparently “leave the user open to backfire.”
• Teleport: The Teleport ability will allow players to blink forward an undefined amount.
