Call of Duty publisher Activision announced a new DLC to the franchise following a massive donation to help military veterans find new jobs.
In a press release on Monday, Activision announced that its non-profit service Call of Duty Endowment received a generous $2.5 million gift to help at least 4,000 retired soldiers.

The donator was named Kenneth C. Griffin, founder and CEO of hedge fund firm Citadel. Griffin's donation was the "largest single private donation" the non-profit group has ever received in its 15 years of operations.
To celebrate the huge donation, Activision is rolling out its newest DLC, "Call of Duty Endowment Knight Recon: Tracer Pack" for Modern Warfare III (2023), Warzone, and Warzone Mobile.
All proceeds from the DLC will be given to the Call of Duty Endowment to further help more veterans in finding "high-quality, high-paying jobs."
