Removal of Black Ops 6’s Controversial “Unicorn Fart” Finishing Move is Being Considered

Call of Duty fans have been getting increasingly frustrated by how silly crossovers have been getting in recent months, with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 continuing that trend. First, it was the addition of a skin that let you run around as a full-blown man shark that rankled some people, quickly followed up by one of the most ridiculous finishing moves Call of Duty has ever seen – a farting unicorn.

Unfortunately, the unicorn was the straw that broke the camel’s back, and many Call of Duty fans took to social media to complain about the addition, calling it “shameless capitalism” and mocking developer Treyarch for its lack of artistic integrity. You’d struggle to find many among the Call of Duty fanbase that actually loved the finishing move, and it now seems like Treyarch may have bowed down to the pressure.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 May Be Replacing The Unicorn Finishing Move

Shared by Call of Duty Twitter account CharlieIntel earlier today, it appears as though the preview for the Unicorn bundle’s finishing move has been changed. Instead of the player lifting the unicorn’s tail and blowing away a player with a blast of rainbow-colored fart vapors, the preview now plays a move that sees the unicorn kick an enemy into a player’s arm, before they’re thrown down onto the horn of the unicorn for the kill.

At the time of writing, it still seems as though the finishing move for the Unicorn bundle is the farting one, as it’s still being used in Black Ops 6 games, but the preview is completely different. We don’t know what this means right now, but it seems fairly likely that this is Treyarch preparing to replace the finishing move with something a little less ridiculous. A unicorn might still be used, but at least bodily gases aren’t.

Of course, this makes things fairly tricky for those that have already purchased the bundle, as they’re having their product altered after the fact. If it is replaced, chances are that Activision will offer refunds to those that want them, as it would be pretty difficult to justify not giving them out. In any case, we’ve yet to see if this is a sign it’s getting replaced, but if it is, then that’s one point on the board for all the Call of Duty fans out there worried about the direction of the game.

Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.

The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.

In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.

Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
