Call of Duty’s Bong Gun Sparks Outrage

WTF?! Call of Duty’s Black Ops 6 DLC includes a bong-shaped gun you can actually smoke in-game. This “Bongshot” Mastercraft Blueprint for the KSV SMG is part of the Dank Days Tracer Pack, which features various weed-themed items. The weapon’s visual effects intensify with successful kills.

Controversy and Hypocrisy

Activision’s decision to include such content has sparked controversy, given the game’s strict communication bans for offensive language. Many online are calling out the apparent hypocrisy of banning players for swearing while seemingly promoting drug use. The Dank Days Tracer Pack also includes a “Blunty” operator skin, a Weed Wacker scorestreak, and other cannabis-themed items.

A History of Drug References in Call of Duty

This isn’t the first time marijuana-themed content has appeared in Call of Duty. Cheech and Chong appeared in a 2023 event, and earlier games featured cannabis-related emblems and calling cards. These references contributed to the M rating given to Modern Warfare 2 in 2009.

Black Ops 6’s Success

Despite the controversy, Black Ops 6 is receiving high praise and is considered one of the best Call of Duty games in years.
