A couple of skilled prop-masters have created an almost exact replica of ‘Wraith Fire’, a lethal grenade from Call of Duty(COD): Black Ops 4. The replica was so realistic that fans wanted to drink it! The blue cylindrical vial-like equipment is a notable tool that is featured in the Zombies and Blackout modes.
Edible Equipment?
You may remember the “Is this cake?” challenge that went viral on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Very realistic cakes were made of random items like a basketball, burgers, books, and even taps! Yet, this time it’s not the same. COD fans want to actually consume an inedible prop, regardless of the consequences.
The Reddit handle “The Apopalypse” are a couple who make props and cosplay items. They shared their replica of ‘Wraith Fire’ on their account on Reddit. Fans were quick to notice how realistic it looked.
The cylindrical vails looks captivating with the rusty exterior protection bars and the sea blue liquid. Despite the fact that it was a prop, probably meant to be sold, fans conveyed their desire to actually consume the liquid. One Reddit user openly commented, “I wanna drink em”, under the OP’s post. Another adds, “Like the other comments said, it looks like that blue liquid at barbershops that I want to drink.”
COD and Cosplaying
Cosplaying and prop-making is a huge part of the gaming world. Gamers show their love and appreciation for their favorite games by creating such beautiful pieces of art. Call Of Duty is a globally popular game with a humongous fanbase. Their equipment are equally popular. That being said, COD dupes are sold online for a good sum of money. Etsy sites are full of them and people are really into it.
‘Wraith Fire’ is a lethal grenade made of a cylindrical glass chamber that holds ‘blue alchemical flame’.
“Blue alchemical flame that burns unnatural terrors, but not people.
-Description”
Zombies is one of the most popular gaming modes in COD. This lethal weapon is basically like a Molotov that doesn’t hurt living beings and is really good for crowd control. It is a tactical equipment that is thrown at zombies to burn them. People really enjoy using it in between revivals or for a quick escape.
COD has a variety of weapons that players love. The weapons are a sort of reminder of how far the franchise has come. The new Season 4 Reloaded brought two new weapons, namely the Reclaimer 18 Shotgun and the Sledgehammer Melee. To be able to make life-like props of these weapons is pure talent and the OP deserves all the praise. Although it was pretty obvious that those wraith fires were inedible, redditors still praised the makers for making it look so “tasty”. “I must drink the forbidden blue raspberry soda”, one player joked.

Honestly, the autumn release of Bo6 may be a little positive nod towards its birth month. The first Call of Duty game was released in October 2003. As a matter of fact, it has had consistent releases since then. Due to this, it is now a massive franchise with blockbuster editions every year.
More than 400 million COD videogames that have been sold over the years. Despite having the brooding backdrop of World War 2, the game does not need mental grinds. You can just switch off your brain and enter into a whole new world. You can even just watch things explode if you’d like.
COD remains the best-selling videogame franchise of the US and rightfully so. It has also garnered a loyal fanbase regardless of changing times. In 2023, Microsoft took over Activision Blizzard, the parent company of Call Of Duty, making them its official owner. It was a $68.7 billion acquisition and the biggest in the gaming world. That being said, Activision was allowed to act as a separate business. They will continue their role of publishing games made in their own studio.
As fans gear up for the new releases, we’ll be sure to see even better COD replicas that people may or may not want to eat!
