Support Veterans with Call of Duty Endowment Warrior Pack
In a powerful union of gaming and gratitude, the Call of Duty franchise is once again honoring military service members this Veterans Day with the launch of a special cosmetic bundle. The new Call of Duty Endowment (C.O.D.E.) Warrior Pack is now available in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone, offering players a direct way to support veterans in their transition back to civilian life.
This initiative continues a long-standing tradition for the franchise, leveraging its massive global community to make a tangible difference. One hundred percent of the net proceeds from the sale of the Warrior Pack will be donated to the Call of Duty Endowment, a non-profit organization dedicated to placing unemployed and underemployed veterans in the United States and the United Kingdom into high-quality jobs. It’s a purchase with a purpose, allowing players to acquire unique in-game items while contributing to a noble and vital cause.
What's Inside the C.O.D.E. Warrior Pack?
The Warrior Pack for 2023 is more than just a collection of digital items; it’s a tribute designed with authentic input from a decorated veteran. Players who purchase the pack will unlock a suite of exclusive content that can be used across multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone.
The pack was created in direct partnership with U.S. Army Retired Sergeant First Class Benjamin F., a former Green Beret whose story of service and transition is at the heart of this year’s campaign. The items reflect a warrior's spirit and heritage.
The C.O.D.E. Warrior Pack includes:
- “Koa King” Operator Skin: A brand-new skin for the Operator Hutch, inspired by Benjamin’s own heritage and service.
- “The Reaper” SMG Weapon Blueprint: A versatile and formidable blueprint designed for close-quarters engagements.
- “A-Frame” Sniper Rifle Weapon Blueprint: A powerful, long-range blueprint for players who prefer to control the battlefield from a distance.
- “Framer” Weapon Charm: A cosmetic charm to personalize your favorite weapon.
- “Rolling Commander” Animated Calling Card: A dynamic calling card to showcase your support for the Endowment.
- “Sticker Ops” Weapon Sticker: A unique sticker to add flair to your arsenal.
- “Bone Shaka” Animated Emblem: A distinctive emblem to display on your player profile.
Each element has been crafted to be both visually appealing and meaningful, offering players a way to stand out in the game while championing the Endowment's mission.
The Mission Behind the Pack: The Call of Duty Endowment
Founded in 2009, the Call of Duty Endowment was established with a clear and ambitious goal: to identify and fund the most effective and efficient organizations dedicated to helping veterans find meaningful employment. Over the past decade, the Endowment has become one of the most successful veteran-focused charities, having funded the placement of over 125,000 veterans into new careers.
The organization operates on a simple but powerful model. It rigorously vets non-profits that assist veterans, providing grants to only the highest-performing groups. This ensures that every dollar contributed makes the maximum possible impact. The results speak for themselves: in 2022, the average cost to place a veteran in a job through an Endowment-supported grantee was just $618, a fraction of the cost of government efforts.
Crucially, the Endowment focuses on "high-quality" placements, meaning jobs that offer living wages, benefits, and long-term career potential. This commitment ensures that veterans are not just finding a job, but are building a sustainable and successful civilian life after their service. The purchase of in-game packs like the Warrior Pack is the primary driver of these incredible results, turning the community's passion for the game into life-changing opportunities.
Honoring a Real-Life Warrior: The Story of Benjamin F.
This year’s pack carries a special significance, as it was designed with the direct involvement of retired U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Benjamin F. After a distinguished military career as a Green Beret, Benjamin faced the same daunting transition that millions of veterans navigate. He found support through an Endowment grantee, which helped him translate his unique military skills into a thriving civilian career in the private security sector.
His story is one of resilience and reinvention. As part of the collaboration, Benjamin provided input on the design of the "Koa King" Operator skin, infusing it with elements of his own personal and military heritage. This direct connection adds a layer of authenticity and respect to the content, transforming it from a simple cosmetic into a genuine tribute.
By featuring Benjamin’s story, the Endowment not only raises funds but also raises awareness about the challenges veterans face and the immense potential they bring to the civilian workforce. His journey from the battlefield to a new career is a testament to the effectiveness of the Endowment's work and an inspiration to service members currently making that same transition.
