Many Black Ops 4 players have been calling out Treyarch for being frauds. This is because they have added loot boxes to the Black Market for a price of $2. Moreover, a season pass costs $50 (battle pass equivalent), and the price as well as the quality of these loot boxes has outraged players.
Players on Reddit stated: “after literal months of little to no support and content, they have the boldness to add f*****g supply drops for 2$ dollars.” As the game alone was $60 at release, you can see why Treyarch have angered a fair share of their fan base.

Loot boxes returned to Black Ops 4 as part of Operation Grand Heist.Furthermore, the contents of these supply drops are mainly cosmetic items, as well as players also complaining of the quality. Although this may only be a small part of the game, Treyarch may have just taken a large step in the wrong direction as fans already felt they weren’t getting enough before this release.
Players have also compared Black Ops 4 to Apex Legends, showing how a free to play game may have better loot boxes than the rather expensive Black Ops 4. See more details on Black Ops 4 loot boxes compared to Apex Legends loot boxes below…
