Call of Duty WW2 PS4, Xbox One news: Pay-to-win hits new extremes with THIS update
CALL Of Duty WW2 gets a pay-to-win update, but this has nothing to do with Sledgehammer or Activision.
Call of Duty WW2 fans can pay professional players to rank up, unlock weapons or improve their kill/death ratio.
It's part of a new pay-to-win scheme set up by Bidvine, a website that lets people hire professionals to do their dirty work.
Fans can expect to pay roughly £15 an hour, although prices will vary based on player needs.
Once you hire a professional, you'll need to hand over your login information, which means the pro gamer can play on their device.
"If you do decide to give your console to the Call of Duty Player, we recommend requesting a copy of their ID or a piece of collateral," Bidvine suggests.
Likewise, it's worth using a temporary sign in to protect your privacy.
Even better, if you think your good enough, you can actually get paid to play Call of Duty WW2.
Bidvine is currently in the process of hiring Call of Duty professionals.
"To be eligible to work as a Pro Call of Duty Player you must provide proof of your level and ability," reads a Bidvine blog post.
"This proof can be a photo of your face and rank within the game side by side. You will also need to provide a photo ID, have a working PlayStation 4 or Xbox 1, and a strong wireless connection."
Players can set their own prices, although similar services tend to fetch around £15 an hour.

The news comes as Call of Duty WW2 launches its double XP event on PS4 and Xbox One.
The Call of Duty WW2 double XP Thanksgiving event runs until 6pm on Monday, November 27.
Sledgehammer describes it as a gesture of thanks following a troubled launch in which servers struggled and Headquarters was disabled.
"The development team has been working incredibly hard since launch to continue improving the online experience, and making in-game tuning adjustments based on the enormous amount of match data we’ve collected," Sledgehammer explained.
"We worked to redeploy our dedicated servers globally on all platforms last week, with stability and speed of connection (ping) being our top priorities.
"We were able to address a number of important things noted in previous blog posts, and we remain 100% committed to providing the best possible online game experience for the entire community."
