Does it sound like he's ordering a pizza, pal? John McClane is coming to Call of Duty as a part of their 80s Action Heroes-themed Season 3 Reloaded update. We have everything you need to know about the Die Hard Operator Skin and the new Bundle.

First things first... It's not actually an Operator Skin! John McClane is going to fully be his own Legendary Operator! That means we'll be getting some Bruce Willis voice lines from the Die Hard movie to accompany our hard dying in Verdansk '84.

Here's everything we know about how you can unlock him...

John McClane Operator Bundle Details

John McClane is actually getting his own Operator Bundle! We know it was hopeful to see this as some sort of free challenge reward, but... Let's be honest, we were being hopeful thinking this was going to be a part of an in-game challenge, right? Call of Duty is the masters of monetization, nowadays.

" A hard-bitten cop on the streets of New York, John McClane has a talent for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now in the fight of his life, he’ll have to rely on his cocky attitude and level head to stay alive. "

The Die Hard Operator Bundle will be available from May 19th 21:00 PST / 00:00 EST / 05:00 BST (May 20th) until June 18th at 21:00 PST / 00:00 EST / 05:00 BST (June 19th). It's going to set you back 2,400 COD Points.

Season 3 Reloaded Release Date

Wait... Doesn't the season start on May 20th? Technically, it does! That means, according to the Call of Duty blog posts about the new Operators, the Die Hard Operator Bundle and the John McClane Operator Skin are going to be available a little bit before everything else goes live in-game.

Call of Duty Season 3 Reloaded is due to go live at around 10:00 PST / 13:00 EST / 18:00 BST on May 20th, just a few hours after the bundles get added to the Warzone store.

This new update isn't just adding new Operators, though. Warzone is getting a new Nakatomi Plaza POI, there's going to be several new "80s Action Heroes"-themed playlist updates for both this and Black Ops Cold War, and we're getting the Combat Bow in Warzone. Be prepared to explode from across the map.
