Might wanna wipe down your gun after eating.

Think, for a moment, about howCall Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s guns must feel in your digital soldier’s hands. Cold, hard and metallic, even through the stiff tactical nylon of your combat gloves. Now imagine it all oozing in greasy nacho flavouring powder. That, perhaps unsurprisingly, is the inescapably tactile sensation that’s stricken me since finding out you can slide into Mountain Dew’s DMs to stick a Dorito chip on your Call Of Duty rifle.

A tasty snack for the war criminal on the go (thanks, PC Gamer)

A dorito hanging from a modern assault rifle.

Fortunately for my self-respect, PCG’s Morgan Parkbit the (nacho cheese-flavoured) bulletand asked Mountain Dew for a gun-mounted crisp - to which the Brand confirmed he’d need to reach into the company’s greasy DMs with the phrase “#DoritosDewDrop” before pulling out a tasty tortilla. On DM’ing, the Dew will give you a code to redeem over on theCall Of Duty website.

Okay, so yes, this is all just cross-promotional branding nonsense. Even so, I can’t help but howl at the abject absurdity of dangling a Dorito from your highly-detailed, period-appropriate killing stick. It looks so dinky there, dangling helplessly, indestructible even as grenades and gunshots ravage its owner. This chip has seen war and remained unflinchingly cheese-flavoured in the face of its horrors. In comparison, the animated Dew Nuke (Dew’k? Duke?) emblem is somewhat tame.

When they’re not strapping junk food to assault rifles, Treyarch are busy announcing the arrival ofNuketown ‘84, the latest iteration of the series’ suburban battlefield that’s set to arrive next Tuesday.

And pack a healthier lunch, too. Can’t be getting killstreaks while all bloated up on tortilla chips.
