The trailer shows the pair stealthily take down a group of Zakhaev’s soldiers in a dimly lit metro station that is reminiscent oflast month’sWarzoneleak. Nikolai silently kills his enemies with a trusty throwing knife, while Farah sets up a fiery trap for one of Zakhaev’s henchmen. The way the duo hunts down their enemies in the trailer may hint at how they will play as Operators in the upcoming season.
Farah is the founder and commander ofCall of Duty’s fictional Urzikstani Liberation Force. After a daring escape from a forced labor camp where she was imprisoned as a teenager, Farah made a name for herself as an exceptional soldier and passionate defender of her people. AfterModern Warfare’s campaign, Farah joined Chimera of the Allegiance.

Players can unlock two additional skins in addition to her base skins by completing her operator missions.Fans have wanted Farah as a playable Operatorin online modes for a while now, so her prominent role in Season 6 is sure to make players happy.
Nikolai is a longtime friend of Captain Price and the leader of the Chimera.
