Players of the FPS game, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, will be happy to note that its developer, Sledgehammer Games, has dropped a new Advanced Supply Drop that will leave them tingled with excitement.
It will be offering players some new costumes that will be outlandish in nature, something rarely seen in Call of Duty game franchise.
The new Advanced Supply Drops will include Samurai, Arachnid, Deep Sea Diver, Luchadora and Clown costumes. These skins will first be hitting Xbox consoles.
It was reported that these skins have got many players excited at the possible variety it will offer in-game, but many have not shown any interest to have them.
These items will be part of the microtransactions in the game, where players can pay cash to earn a chest full of items.
This will be the first time, according to reports, that the developer has levelled up on the "earnable" Advanced Supple Drops. It will allow players to "bolster their Armory and customise their Operator even further." These can be used to "upgrade the loadouts and personalise the an Operator or redeemed for XP," according to Activision.
The new gears will be rolled out on PlayStation and PC platforms soon.
