Call of Duty Apparel
Call of Duty has been around enough to amass a large amount of clothing options. There are tons of t-shirts, hoodies, jackets, etc. to choose from for a big Call of Duty fan. A good place to start would be the Call of Duty shop itself which has plenty of apparel to choose from at prices that don’t seem too unreasonable. Also jewelry such as dog tags and bullet pendants are a good accessory to keep an eye out for.
Your next best bet would be searching something like Amazon or eBay. Both have a ton of Call of Duty apparel listed on there. If you want a whole outfit though, might I suggest Ghost’s threads from Modern Warfare 2? This site has a complete outfit that you can purchase which is pretty sweet especially if you’re into cosplay.
For The Zombies Fan
The Call of Duty franchise alongside the Zombies sub-franchise, has plenty of iconic weapons and item replicas that you could gift to a big fan. There’s this adorable crocheted Ray Gun on Etsy; or if you want to go all out, there’s this full combo that includes a Ray Gun, two Perk-a-Cola bottles, and a display case for it all. However on that one there’s a note that any orders may not make it in time for Christmas if you’re shopping for that. So keep that in mind if that’s the one you want.
Finally, although the Juggernog edition of Black Ops 3 is pretty much all sold out, you could still get the Juggernog Mini-Fridge on eBay if you’re willing to a pay a price.
Real Life Zombie Simulation
OK so maybe you did the whole Zombie collectible thing already from the page before, but you really want to take your perfect Zombies fan gift to the next level. Then what you’re going to want to do is take your friend/loved one to a real life zombie apocalypse simulation event so they can put everything they have learned to the test.
There are plenty of different groups that do this all around the country, especially around major cities. Do some digging around the internet and see if you can pick up tickets for an event near you. One such company to keep an eye on for 2016 events would be Zombie Apocalypse Live, as they seem to have events fairly consistently and across the country in different locales. That one is more “family friendly” though as teens can participate. If you’re looking for something more hardcore, look for places like Zombie Town Asheville, NC. These events come and go though, so stay vigilant in finding the latest and greatest near you and pick up tickets ASAP.
Peripherals
Both of the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One have excellent peripherals that you could gift a Call of Duty fan to make their CoD experience that much more erm.. CoD-y? There’s the Black Ops III edition PlayStation 4 controller, which sports a sleek grey and orange design. On the Xbox side, you can go with the ole’ Advanced Warfare controller, which is impressive looking in its own right. Keep in mind that availability is going to vary, so be on the look out on places such as Amazon and eBay if other physical retailers don’t have it.
Although Call of Duty: Ghosts isn’t as popular as other games in the series, its headset via the Microsoft Store is very sleek looking, although a bit pricey. You could always opt for the less expensive Advanced Warfare version instead. A headset in general if your friend/loved one doesn’t have one, is a great gift as it helps pick up on subtle movements such as someone sneaking up behind you much easier in multiplayer. Finally, the ultimate CoD peripheral isn’t a peripheral at all, but a console. If you can find it, getting someone the Call of Duty Black Ops III Edition PlayStation 4 would make you the real MVP to any CoD fan.
Make Them Play The Classics
Believe it or not, Call of Duty used to be known for its excellent campaign modes and not the annual multiplayer event that it is now. In fact, the first four numbered Call of Duty games are excellent games too and could be packaged together as a neat gift for a big Call of Duty fan that has yet to get in touch with their roots.
Just make sure they are into the World War II era of games. The first three Call of Duty games all take place during World War II, but all do an excellent job of putting you in the shoes of an allied soldier. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, is the game that laid the foundation for what Call of Duty has become today and really can be attributed the kick starting the present day warfare fad in games. There’s no question, though, that the original Modern Warfare did it before it was cool.
That does it for our gift guide! Let us know in the comments if you end up getting in any of these or have any suggestions of your own!
