In a growing movement, they\u2019re returning to one of the game\u2019s launch skins: Yegor. There are a number of flag Calling Cards you can use to show national pride in Warzone, but some countries are left off of that list. Ukraine is one such country, which has disappointed players who want to show solidarity with its people. So, politically inspired gamers have found a different way to show support. They\u2019ve gone all the way back to a Modern Warfare 2019 Operator, Yegor, who\u2019s described as a Ukrainian national in-game. In a Reddit post that\u2019s gotten over 1,500 upvotes and hundreds of comments in less than a day, \u2018stefbeukers\u2019 told players about the skin: \u201cSince there is no Ukrainian calling card: you can run an Ukrainian operator to show a little support.\u201d Warzone players use Ukrainian Operator to show solidarity While you might not be able to tell Yegor is Ukrainian just from his shirtless presence, the in-game files confirm his nationality. As the game details, Yegor Novak was born in Ukraine in 1986, decades before joining forces with Captain John Price and Kyle \u201cGaz\u201d Garrick in 2019. Since joining the game as a playable Operator with MW19, he has received over 22 skins \u2013 giving players options if they don\u2019t want to go shirtless. In the comments, many were quick to appreciate stefbeukers\u2019 intentions. One user replied \u201cthanks comrade,\u201d while another said they \u201cwould love to see lobbies full of shirtless Yegor.\u201d Of course, some have also lashed out at the idea \u2013 sarcastically laughing at these \u201creal activists\u201d and saying that they \u201cunderstand the sentiment, but this seems highly useless.\u201d Regardless of how you feel about performative activism, using the skin simply accomplishes what beukers mentioned: it\u2019s \u201cto show a little support.\u201d If you want to do so and don\u2019t already have Yegor unlocked, you can likely buy one of his skins from the in-game Operator menu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone players now using Ukrainian Operator to show solidarity in-game ActivisionWhile Call of Duty: Warzone doesn\u2019t have a Ukrainian flag Calling Card, players have found a different way to show in-game solidarity.
