How to get Messi in MW2 and Warzone 2.0

With Argentina’s World Cup 2022 victory, Lionel Messi is now available as an operator in Call of Duty Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0. Not only is his face in play now, but also some Argentine weapons, a weapon charm and more.

The introduction of famous footballers comes as a courtesy of the larger partnership between Call of Duty and FIFA, and it brings Neymar Jr. and Paul Pogba to the game alongside Messi as Operators. If you are wondering how to unlock the popular soccer players in the games, you have come to the right place!

The World Championship winner in Call of Duty

Messi is giving himself a double early Christmas present as not only is he immortalized in the World Cup history books, but also in the Call of Duty games. A dream for some of his fans who also play the popular shooter. However, the operator skin does not come for free.

You can get the Messi operator bundle in the in-game store for 2400 COD points, which equals something under $20. As you can see in the video announcement, there is a lot of Messi-related content in the bundle. But of course, there’s more. 

What else is in the bundle

Additionally, there are two weapon blueprints: the Atomic Flea Vaznev-9k and the Blue Thunder FSS Hurricane. Both are decorated in the Argentinian colors of blue and white. 

In addition to the blueprints, you also get the unique finishing move “No Firearms Needed”. Depending on how you start the finisher, you’ll use a series of kicks to take out your opponents, as befits a legendary football player.

But that’s not all! Also included in the bundle is The Treble vehicle skin, which consists of a bright shell with blue and red stripes. Next to it is Messi’s shirt number 10 and “GOAT art” on the side, which honors him as one of the greatest footballers of all time.

Last but not least, Messi’s bundle is rounded off with a weapon tag showing only his name and number, a sticker showing the world champion in battle and a Messi player emblem. Here you have summarized everything from the bundle again:

• Lionel Messi Operator for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0
• No Firearms Needed Finishing Move
• Atomic Flea – Vaznev-9K
• Blue Thunder – FSS Hurricane
• The Treble Panzer Skin
• The Flea 10 trailer
• Battle Messi Sticker
• Target Acquired Emblem

While no one expected the soccer player to find his way onto the war battlefield, you are now guaranteed to see him sprint toward you in-game.
