Activision has announced that it is bringing Call of Duty Points to Call of Duty: Black Ops III.
This new optional virtual currency is purchased with real money, and allows players to secure additional Supply Drops in multiplayer or Vials of Liquid Divinium in Zombies Mode. The currency will only be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Black Ops III's Black Market has been updated with three new melee weapons, the Butterfly Knife, Wrench, and Brass Knuckles. There are also new taunts, body and head variants for each Specialist, Epic rarity camo, and calling cards.
Activision says that "the entire range of new items can be obtained by simply playing the game and trading the Cryptokeys you earn for Supply Drops in the Black Market."
For a limited time, while supplies last, simply playing the game on PS4, Xbox One, or PC will grant you a one-time gift of 200 Call of Duty Points.
Purchasing Points costs $2 for 200, $10 for 1,000 (+100 bonus), $20 for 2,000 (+400 bonus), and $40 for 4,000 (+1,000 bonus).
In IGN's review of Call of Duty: Black Ops III, we said that "it's the biggest and most feature-packed game we've seen out of the series yet." Earlier today, we caught wind of paid character level boosts for Destiny, another Activision game.
