Call of Duty Riley Returns in Modern Warfare

Call of Duty's favorite dog Riley is back in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Making his first appearance in Call of Duty: Ghosts, the entire player base fell in love with him and Activision has decided to bring him back in the most recent major Season 3 update that landed on systems April 10.

In Call of Duty: Ghosts, Riley was only playable in the single-player campaign making multiple appearances in the beginning. During moments, he was able to be controlled by the user to roam on his own and scout enemy locations. The game creators mentioned multiple times they were surprised Riley received such a warm reception and took a lot of criticism for not having Riley play more of a central role in the game, as well as disappointment when Riley disappears for most of the second half of the campaign.

Luckily for us, he's back, taking the tally of four legged friends in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare from one to two. Here, he will be featured as a finishing move players can use when melee attacking enemies from behind as shown below.

Riley is available through the Season 3 Battle Pass. The beloved pup is unlockable at tier 20, so he will require just a bit of grinding to unlock, but I'd be shocked to hear someone say that isn't worth it. After all, the Battle Pass bundle is available which gives you 20 free tier skips giving you Riley immediately, but unless you're buying on the last day and worried you won't get enough experience in time, it doesn't seem quite worth it.
