In an unexpected crossover announcement, Activision revealed on June 23 that Mike Judge's legendary animated characters Beavis and Butt-Head will be joining Call of Duty as playable operator skins. The teenage troublemakers from the 1990s MTV series will debut in the Season 4 Reloaded update for both Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone.

Originally premiering in 1993, Beavis and Butt-Head became cultural icons through their absurd adventures in Highland, Texas, and their hilarious commentary on music videos. Beavis, the hyperactive blonde, and Butt-Head, his more laid-back companion with brown hair, were both voiced by creator Mike Judge, who also brought us King of the Hill. The series saw a revival on Paramount+ in 2022, with new episodes coming to Comedy Central in 2025.

The Season 4 Reloaded update, launching June 26 at Noon Eastern Time, will introduce these unconventional operators alongside new maps, weapons, and the return of Resurgence Ranked Play to Warzone. Activision's teaser showed the animated pair in military gear - Butt-Head sporting night-vision goggles and a cheese-stained rifle, while Beavis wore a helmet and dual-wielded weapons, all rendered in a distinctive cel-shaded style.
