There are always fresh bundles on rotation in the game\u2019s store. Whether it\u2019s Operator skins, Weapon Blueprints, or even rare crossover packs, there\u2019s plenty to spend your money on. One recent addition to the store, however, has drawn the attention of pros, streamers, and casual players alike for all the wrong reasons. While the new Bioluminescence Blueprint appears to give the MP40 SMG a glowing blue look, its actual effect in-game doesn\u2019t quite match the preview. Thus, an immense wave of backlash has quickly followed, with many feeling \u2018ripped off\u2019 by the premium item. The Legendary Blueprint is included as part of the Blue Thunder bundle in Vanguard\u2019s latest update. Not only does it come with a unique look for the MP40, but it\u2019s also supposed to have Cyan-colored Tracer Rounds as well. After buying the bundle, many exposed how the preview looks \u201cnothing\u201d like the actual Blueprint. Rather than a vibrant effect, one brighter than just about any other skin in Vanguard, the finished product is a dull shade of blue. The effect is even less noticeable when extra attachments come into play. \u201cJust got scammed,\u201d FaZe\u2019s Testyment said in a now-viral tweet. Pro CDL player Standy took issue with the Blueprint as well, comparing the recent Valorant Champions skin line with the MP40\u2019s blue tinge. \u201cIt practically glows in the store and in pre-game lobbies,\u201d one particularly agitated player said on Reddit. \u201cBut [it] looks like this in-game? Tracers are also non-existent.\u201d Given the hefty price tag of the Blue Thunder bundle, many were left relieved they\u2019d saved their money. \u201cThis post saved me from buying the pack. We need to boycott buying stuff from the store,\u201d players chimed in. There\u2019s currently no telling if the bundle will see any changes in the days to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CoD Vanguard players lash out at Bioluminescence Blueprint \u201cscam\u201d ActivisionCall of Duty: Vanguard players have lashed out at the new Bioluminescence MP40 Blueprint for its deceiving preview in the CoD store, even going as far as to label it a \u201cscam.\u201d With each new CoD Vanguard update, one thing is a given.
