Kevin Durant, the 13-time NBA All-Star and also two-time NBA Finals MVP, is the following star skin concerning Call of Duty’s 3 tastes of multiplayer — Modern Warfare 2, Warzone 2.0, and also Call of Duty Mobile. Durant is likewise 6-foot-10 IRL, which offers us a couple of situations right here, both of them wonderful.

Will KD be reduced to the dimension of a typical human or are they gonna place a 6’11” man in a capturing game due to the fact that regardless that’s amusing https://t.co/ShzS3YQ699

Scenario 1: (Very not likely.) Call of Duty programmers have actually left Durant at his real dimension, about various other drivers with a matching hit box, making him, like, the anti-Oddjob for this certain first-person shooter. Even much more not likely, he’s 6-10 with a 6-0 or 6-1 hitbox, implying whatever from his collarbone up is a miss out on. Dome-fired that, chump!

Scenario 2: More plausibly, Durant was positioned in the shrinkalizer and also shed regarding a foot or two. This is due to the fact that Call of Duty utilizes typical hitboxes, which implies no person obtains a benefit (or negative aspect) based upon dimension, at the price of some partially appropriate or wrong trial and error.

We connected to an Activision representative the other day to ask which it was, yet we haven’t listened to back yet. In my e-mail, I recommended a 3rd method, which is that, yes, this Operator is the requirement Call of Duty dimension, yet he’s Durant’s change vanity, “Easy Money Sniper,” (which occurs to be Durant’s Instagram handle). Now, he might appearance specifically like Durant, and also Durant and also Easy Money Sniper might never ever remain in the exact same area with each other, yet hey, totally different guy over in Call of Duty land.

Apparently, however, Activision and also Durant won’t be opting for that course. A Facebook post Wednesday mid-day verified that EMS and also KD#35 are identical. Anyway, the Easy Money Sniper skin will certainly be readily available as a restricted time package from the Call of Duty Store throughout period 3 Reloaded, which starts May 10.
