Recently, Activision confirmed the addition of a Nicki Minaj skin in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 after the launch of the Season 5 update. The introduction of the brand-new operator is a part of Call of Duty’s in-game celebrations of 50 years of hip hop, which also includes the release of skins for iconic artists like Snoop Dogg and 21 Savage. All three operators will be available for a limited period after their respective releases.
The Nicki Minaj skin in Call of Duty MW2 Season 5 will also be the FPS franchise’s “first-ever self-named female Operator.” Players might not see Nicki Minaj’s operator bundle immediately after the launch of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Season 5, as it is expected to have an in-season release, which might happen after August 2, 2023, and before the end of September 2023 (end of Season 5).
Nicki Minaj Skin In Call of Duty MW2: How To Unlock the Operator In Season 5
The Nicki Minaj skin in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 will be a part of the in-game store’s unlockable operator bundle. The operator bundle will become available for a specific period in Season 5, during which players will be able to purchase it with COD Points (obtainable with real-world money).
Here’s what Activision stated about the Nicki Minaj skin in Call of Duty MW2 and Warzone Season 5 blog post:
“Now in Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone, she’s ready to make all rival Operators pound the alarm, as Nicki Minaj has her own Store Bundle, perfect for those who think they have good form across Battle Royale, DMZ, Multiplayer, and Special Ops.”
Update: The Nicki Minaj operator bundle was made available in the in-game store of MW2 and Warzone on August 24, 2023. Players can exclusively acquire the “Tracer Pack Nicki Minaj Operator Bundle” in Modern Warfare 2 for 2,400 COD Points via the store. For the uninitiated, here’s a look at the content featured in the operator bundle (including the Nicki Minaj skin in Call of Duty MW2 & WZ):
- Nicki Minaj Operator Skin
- Get bodied Finishing Move
- The Baddest Cronen Squall Blueprint (Pink / Splat Tracers & Pinkfetti Death Effect)
- Super Freaky MX Guardian Blueprint (Pink / Splat Tracers & Pinkfetti Death Effect)
- Nicki Whip LTV Skin
- That’s my Ice Cream Sticker
- Nice and Nicki Loading screen
- Ice Cream Nicki Emblem
The operator pack has been labeled with “Carry Forward MWIII,” which implies that players who have or are thinking of purchasing the Nick Minaj Skin in Call of Duty MW2 will get to carry forward it and other items of the operator in MW3 (after purchasing the upcoming COD title and using the same Activision-linked account on the same platform as MW2).
