Summary
-
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 could replace the infamous unicorn finishing move that irked players last month.
-
The preview of the unicorn pack for the final move shows a completely different one, as the unicorn slams an enemy into a player's arms, who is then thrown onto the unicorn's horn.

The finisher is still being used in the game right now, though this may be a sign that Treyarch is getting ready to replace it with something less controversial.
Call of Duty fans have become increasingly frustrated with how stupid crossovers have become in recent months, with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 continuing that trend. First, it was the addition of a skin that allows you to run as a full-on human shark, which pissed some people off, quickly followed by one of the most ridiculous finishing moves Call of Duty has ever seen – a farting unicorn.
Unfortunately, the unicorn was the straw that broke the camel's back, and many Call of Duty fans took to social media to complain about the addition, calling it “shameless capitalism” and mocking developer Treyarch for its lack of artistic integrity. You'd be hard-pressed to find many Call of Duty fans who actually liked the final move, and now it looks like Treyarch may have bowed to the pressure.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 could replace the Unicorn finishing move
Shared today by the Call of Duty Twitter account CharlieIntel, it looks like the preview for the Unicorn pack's final move has been changed. Instead of the player raising the unicorn's tail and blasting a player with a burst of rainbow-colored fart vapor, the preview now plays a move that sees the unicorn punch an enemy in a player's arm before being thrown onto the horn. of the unicorn for the kill.

Necroclaus is just one example of Activision Blizzard apparently using technology to cut corners.
At the time of writing, it still looks like the final move for the Unicorn pack is the one to find as it is still used in the Black Ops 6 games, but the preview is completely different. We don't know what that means right now, but it seems pretty likely that this is Treyarch preparing to replace the final move with something a little less ridiculous. A unicorn might still be used, but at least body gases aren't.
Of course, this makes things quite complicated for those who have already purchased the bundle, as their product is modified after the fact. If it is replaced, chances are Activision will offer refunds to those who want them, as it would be pretty difficult to justify not giving them. In any case, we have yet to see if this is a sign that it will be replaced, but if it is, then this is a point on the board for all Call of Duty fans concerned about the direction of the game.
Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is an action espionage thriller set in the early 1990s, a time of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a compelling narrative and unbound by rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 campaign offers dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that features a variety of game spaces, with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger espionage.
In a premium multiplayer experience, players will test their skills on 16 new maps at launch, including 12 base 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will defeat hordes of undead across two brand new maps at launch. After launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and innovative experiences in both Multiplayer and Zombies.
