The long-running Call of Duty is loving being a part of the club that Fortnite established right now. Goofy skins in live-service games are nothing new, with the originator wasting no time in bringing the likes of Goku, Superman, and even Kratos to the battle royale battlefield.

Call of Duty has played catchup with Saw,s Jigsaw and Nicki Minaj herself, making it clear than even if you want to be realistic in your approach to warfare, it won't stop 21 Savage from showing up. But now, some new superstars are about to step onto the battlefield - and they're fresh off Arrakis.

Dune: Part 2 skins are coming to Call of Duty

As revealed by a brand-new video featuring the stars of the upcoming Dune: Part Two, Timothee Chalamet and Austin Butler (Paul Atreides and Feyd-Rautha) are gearing up to touch down in Call of Duty.

The video reveals Timothee Chalamet getting his ass handed to him by Austin Butler (who has clearly gone knives-only on Rust before) before he finally claims victory as the pair take their characters for a spin at Brazil Comic-Con.

Timothee's character of Paul is available in the game right now, whereas if you want to play as his sworn rival, you'll have to wait until December 16 for the Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen Operator Bundle.

House Atreides took the victory in the match, pitting the pair together - though if he were using his modded controllers, he'd probably have taken the win sooner.

Timothee Chalamet confesses to using Trigger mods

Though his talents in combat are clear, on the red carpet of The Game Awards, Timothee Chalamet proved his knowledge of modded controllers by confessing that when playing Call of Duty, he'd use a trigger mod when using the single-round firing FAL in-game to fire bullets faster than the competition.

"I might be a little outdated now, but back in the day it was something with a trigger mod," he says. "Not to be a cheater, like, but if it was something like an FAL, you could unlock it with a mod." The rotter.

It's a pretty brilliant coincidence that Chalamet is coming to Call of Duty after being introduced at The Game Awards as his controller-modding alter-ego - or maybe it's not a coincidence at all. If you're killed by Paul Atreides on the battlefield, be aware they might be the actual Timothee Chalamet wiping the floor with you.
