“Three (3) winners will receive: One (1) Call of Duty x Beavis & Butt-Head Xbox Controller (ARV $1,500). Total approximate retail value of all prizes: $4,500 USD.”

If you’re curious about why they are randomly giving away this Beavis & Butt-Head Xbox controller, it’s due to the duo’s appearance in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone this month, as showcased in the trailer below.
The choice has faced some backlash – with gamers suggesting the crossover makes little sense – but others seem to be relishing the absurdity of it so far.
