Since appearing with the launch of 2019's Modern Warfare, Operators have become a staple of the Call of Duty franchise. Each with their own backstory, players can choose from a wide roster of characters in Warzone and Vanguard.

Thanks to regular updates to the battle royale and multiplayer, new Operators appear on a regular basis. As part of the Season 4 Reloaded update, a new Operator known as Ikenna joins the list alongside the Vargo S assault rifle and the Rebirth of the Dead LTM which sees zombies return to Warzone.

With the launch of a new Operator, there're plenty of new Operator skins to collect by completing challenges and through various bundles that appear within the in-game store. With that said, find out how to unlock Ikenna in Warzone and Vanguard in this guide containing all there is to know about the newest addition to the Pacific era.

How to Unlock Ikenna Operator

Unlike some Operators in Season 4, Ikenna doesn't appear within the Battle Pass. This means you will have to part ways with some hard-earned COD Points in order to get your hands on the new character.

To unlock the Operator, simply purchase the bundle once it appears in the store.

As the bundle contains a new Operator, there's a high chance of it costing 2400 COD Points (£17/$20) so be prepared to fork out.

Ikenna Operator Bundle Contents

In addition to Ikenna, those that purchase the bundle will obtain plenty of other content to use in Vanguard and Warzone. As the Operator's favourite weapon is the Vargo S, there's a high chance of an exclusive weapon blueprint appearing alongside a wealth of Calling Cards, Weapon Charms, and More.

Once we find out more intel on the bundle, we will update the article with everything included.

Ikenna Operator Release Date

With the start of Season 4 Reloaded on the horizon, Ikenna could arrive as early as July 26, 2022. However, as a standalone cosmetics bundle, there's always a chance of the Operator making an appearance further down the line.

There's a guarantee they will appear in Warzone and Vanguard before the launch of Season 5 which is rumoured to be the final post-launch season of the Pacific era.

Is the Ikenna Operator Worth Buying?

If you're a fan of collecting all the Vanguard Operators, then Ikenna is definitely worth purchasing.

On the other hand, if character collection doesn't float your boat, you can always save your COD Points and cash for other pieces of content that will appear over the second half of Season 4.
