New operators in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare always warrants extra attention from the game's community. Most fans are now familiar with Lerch, the leader of Shadow Company, but the other operators are still relatively unknown. When Velikan debuted in the Modern Warfare Season 5's trailer fans immediately wanted to purchase him and his awesome stylized mask.

So far, there has been no official release date and very little information about Velikan available. Fans are left wondering about this Modern Warfare Season 5 operator counting the days until he finally makes a full appearance. Thankfully, fans have been in this position before and there is a good amount of precedent already in place to guess when Velikan will be available for purchase.

Although most of his past is hidden, Velikan is a member of Shadow Company and an operator of the Allegiance faction. His debut in Season 5 was matched with images of Lerch suggesting that he and Lerch work closely together on most operations. His in-game biography calls him "a shadow of a shadow" which has caused many fans to assume he specializes in infiltration and stealth operations.

There is almost a legendary status built around Velikan, giving many fans the impression that he does the impossible jobs, like a special operations operative within a special operation unit that gets called in to do very specific jobs. On a bonus note for lore, Velikan actually translates to Giant, Big, or Great Man in Russian and many other Slavic languages.

The one question on many fan's minds is when they can purchase Velikan as an operator. Due to the early release of the Season 5 Bundles list, fans know that Velikan is being released with his signature Megalith skin along with weapons that specialize in dismemberment.

The bundle includes a legendary blueprint for an LMG, a legendary blueprint for a Shotgun, an operator quip, a new vehicle horn, finishing move, vehicle skin, charm, calling card, and spray. This bundle will be sold for the standard 2,400 COD points like other operator bundles before it.

As for the release window, many fans believe that Velikan will enter the store during the next Modern Warfare mid-season update. Roze and several other cover-image operators were released during the middle of each season, setting a heavy precedence that Velikan will be entering the game around the same point in time.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
