Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 released today, October 23, and the game’s first DLC pack is available now. In keeping with Call of Duty tradition, the day-one DLC is a Call of Duty Endowment (CODE) pack, with proceeds going to Activision’s charity that supports military veterans finding new jobs after they leave the service.
The CODE Valor Pack adds the real-life Medal of Honor recipient Kyle Carpenter to the game as a playable character.
Carpenter was in Marjah, Afghanistan, when, on November 21, 2010, he put himself in front of a grenade to help save the life of his fellow Marine, Nick Eufrazio. Carpenter sustained serious injuries from the grenade blast. He was unconscious for five weeks, had his teeth stripped from his mouth, and lost an eye. He sustained numerous other life-threatening injuries in the blast.
Carpenter received the Medal of Honor from President Barack Obama in 2014. At the ceremony, Obama said, “They found Kyle lying face down, directly over the blast area. His helmet was riddled with holes. His gear was melted. Part of his Kevlar vest was blown away. One of the doctors who treated him later said Kyle was, ‘Literally wounded from the top of his head to his feet.'”
Carpenter underwent brain surgery to remove shrapnel from his head. He had about 40 other surgeries to address his injuries, which included a collapsed lung, fractured fingers, and one arm that broke in more than 30 places. He had multiple skin grafts and now has a prosthetic eye, a new jaw, and new teeth.
The Valor Pack includes the Relentless and Valor skins, along with new weapon blueprints, a combat knife, and a weapon charm, among other things. All proceeds from the $20 DLC bundles will go to the CODE charity.
