Call Of Duty: WWII Bravery Pack Cosmetics Help Vets Find Good Jobs

Call Of Duty: WWII microtransactions have been in place for a while now, and, if you care about vets, this one might be worth the purchase. The Call Of Duty Endowment Bravery Pack costs $4.99 and offers 100 percent of the proceeds to the Call Of Duty Endowment charity. Through personalization packs like this one, the organization has placed nearly 5,000 veterans across the U.K. and U.S. in high-quality positions.

The pack was first introduced with the Call Of Duty: WWII Pro Edition and is now available for all users across PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. For the first time ever, redemption cards are also available in GameStop stores and online at Best Buy and Amazon. The Bravery Pack set includes a helmet, calling card and emblem with the Call Of Duty Endowment logo.

“Through Activision’s previous calling card and personalization pack programs, we have raised more than $2.8 million towards helping veterans beat unemployment and underemployment as they transition back into civilian life,” said Dan Goldenberg, executive director of the Call of Duty Endowment. “We want to thank the studio team at Sledgehammer Games for their dedication in creating the Bravery Pack, and their continued devotion to the Endowment’s mission of supporting those who served in uniform. We’d also like to thank our partners Activision, Sony, Microsoft, GameStop, Amazon and Best Buy for their invaluable support of our ongoing mission.”

The Call Of Duty Endowment began in 2009 after a conversation between Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick and former Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson. Nicholson told Kotick that he wished veterans received more support in healthcare and job placement, and Kotick formed the organization to get the job done. Its initial goal was to place 25,000 veterans in careers by the end of next year, but that milestone was met two years early.

Packs like the Endowment Bravery Pack in Call Of Duty: WWII are a great way to make that mission even more successful for our brave soldiers in the U.S. and abroad. Gamers may still feel a little salty amid recent microtransaction controversies in this fall’s triple-A games, but here’s a case where spending a few extra dollars has the potential to help accomplish something remarkable.

Call Of Duty: WWII is available now on PS4, Xbox One and PC. The Endowment Bravery Pack is available across all platforms.
