CODM x NieR Automata 2026: 2B Hitbox & Draw Cost Breakdown

The CODM x NieR: Automata collab 2026 is officially back in business, and if you missed the original Season 5 2025 window, now is your second chance at one of the most visually striking crossovers the game has ever shipped.

That’s the 2B, Commander White, a Legendary PP19 Bizon, a Legendary AK-47 and a completely free 9S skin that you can grind for without spending a single dime.

Nor is this a watered-down re-run. The full dual Lucky Draw is back, the YoRHa’s Counterattack free event is live and the NieR Exclusive Cards discount mechanic is back with it.

Be you a NieR fan who missed the first go around, or you just heard how clean the 2B skin looks in-lobby and want in, here’s everything you need to know before you spin.

CODM x NieR: Automata Crossover Collaboration Details and Date

The first CODM x NieR: Automata crossover event released on May 28, 2025, during Season 5: Primal Reckoning. The free event was held from 29 May to 18 June 2025, while the Lucky Draws were open from 31 May to 19 June 2025.

The re-run was announced on official CODM channels in early April 2026 and went live around April 3, 2026.

It returned as part of Season 5 2026 (Primal Reckoning), which puts it active right now as of June 2026. The collaboration is between Activision/TiMi Studio Group and Square Enix/PlatinumGames, bringing YoRHa android designs, machine lifeform weapon aesthetics, and NieR lore themes directly into CODM’s multiplayer and Battle Royale modes.

What made this collab land differently from the usual CODM crossovers was the lore integration. The free event was built around NieR’s central conflict: YoRHa androids counterattacking machine lifeforms.

There were no random anime splash screens here. The event structure, the weapon names, the skin designs, and even the calling cards all tied back to the source material in a way that felt intentional rather than cosmetic. The community consistently ranks it above collabs like Godzilla or The Boys for that reason.

Lucky Draw in CODM x NieR: Automata Explained

The collaboration uses a dual Lucky Draw format, which means two separate gacha pools running at the same time.

Each draw has its own featured operator skin and Legendary weapon blueprint. You spin independently from each, and costs climb progressively with each pull, same as standard CODM Lucky Draws.

Both draws use the standard 10-spin full-completion structure. Spin costs start low and escalate sharply toward the back half. The guaranteed milestone for the featured skin sits around spin 8 or 9, which is where most of your CP actually goes.

The key thing to know going in: these are Epic operator skins inside a Legendary weapon draw. The Legendary gun can drop in spins 1 through 7, but the operator skin is almost always the 8th or 9th item in the pool.

Your odds of hitting the 2B skin before spin 8 are under 1%. Going in expecting a lucky early pull on the operator is how players end up spending 70% of the full draw cost and stopping just short of the guarantee.

Draw A: Morph Symphony (The 2B Draw)

The Morph Symphony draw is headlined by the Legendary PP19 Bizon called Morph Symphony. The design runs white and black with a futuristic industrial look that matches NieR’s machine UI aesthetic.

It has reactive camo that glows brighter as your kill count climbs, which looks sharp in multiplayer but can actually work against you in Battle Royale night-mode areas since the glow makes you visible from distance.

The iron sights on the PP19 Bizon blueprint are clean enough that you can run an extra attachment in place of a sight.

That’s a real gameplay advantage for SMG build players who usually give up an attachment slot for optics. It’s up to you to decide whether that shifts it from cosmetic to pay-to-win territory, but the community doesn’t argue about it much.

The operator skin for this draw is Kestrel in YoRHa No. 2 Type B, the iconic 2B look. Black dress, blindfold, white hair, pod-inspired kill effects, and distinct lobby/inspection animations.

She uses Kestrel’s base hitbox and movement animations because she is a skin rather than a standalone operator, making her competitive for slide-canceling and aggressive plays.

One known community complaint: she does not have Yui Ishikawa or Kira Buckland’s voice work. She uses Kestrel’s filtered voice bank, which breaks immersion for hardcore NieR fans but does not affect gameplay.

Additional items in the Morph Symphony draw include the Katana Type-4O Blade melee, a Grimoire backpack, and the YoRHa Logo charm.

Draw B: Final Apocalypact (The Commander Draw)

The second draw centers on the Legendary AK-47 Final Apocalypact. Where the PP19 Bizon looks pristine and machine-crafted, the AK-47 here looks deliberately worn and battle-hardened, matching A2’s more aggressive and scarred aesthetic compared to 2B’s controlled precision. The design has custom camos and machine-lifeform effects that read well in kill feeds.

The operator skin is Fiona St. George wearing Commander White, an A2-inspired design with a long white and gold coat, tactical ponytail, and high-production android detailing.

Same deal as Draw A: Epic skin sitting on Fiona’s base hitbox, which keeps her functional for competitive play without the movement penalty you get from bulky skins like some of the larger armor-plated operators.

This draw also includes a helicopter skin and a tank skin, plus the calling card Glory to Mankind.

All Perks You Get in CODM x NieR: Automata 2026

Outside the main draws, this event is full of secondary rewards, split between the premium gacha pool and a very F2P-friendly grindable event.

Operator Skins

Across both draws, there are two operator skins available: Kestrel as YoRHa No. 2 Type B (2B) from the Morph Symphony draw, and Fiona St. George as Commander White from the Final Apocalypact draw. Both are Epic rarity, which means purple-tier.

Neither is a Mythic, so there are no Mythic-tier custom sounds or animations, though both skins come with their own victory poses, lobby animations, and visual effects tied to NieR’s YoRHa aesthetic.

Free Items

You do not need to spend CP to get the NieR collab’s main character. The free event, NieR: YoRHa’s Counterattack, is separate from the Lucky Draws and gives out Kui Ji wearing YoRHa No. 9 Type S, which is the 9S skin, at no cost.

The event works by earning Action Points through daily tasks including logins, match completions, and mission objectives.

You spend those points on a branching progression map built around counterattack routes and Skill Chip unlocks, similar in structure to NieR’s own level-up nodes.

The 9S skin unlocks after completing roughly four to five full laps of the progression board. It takes consistent daily play over the event window, but none of it requires a single CP.

Free event rewards also include the EM2 Atonement of the Ancients Epic blueprint, melee weapons with NieR motifs, camo crates (Cruel Blood Oath, Virtuous Treaty, and Bright Night are among the named ones), calling cards, and avatars.

Community feedback from the original run consistently called the free event generous by CODM standards. Streamers who covered it pushed the 9S skin as a must-grind just for the design quality and voice-over callbacks.

The event tip worth knowing: if the board uses a dice-rolling mechanic with Omni Converters (loaded dice that let you control movement), hold them until you are one or two tiles away from a Gold Crate tile. Using them blindly wastes the advantage.

NieR Exclusive Cards

This is the most important financial mechanic in the entire collab and the one most players skip past without reading.

CODM introduced a special currency called NieR Exclusive Cards specifically for this collaboration. One card equals one CP in value, but you can buy card bundles at a discount compared to buying raw CP.

Based on reports from the original run, the Low Spend Large Rewards event offered 100 cards for 50 CP, which is effectively 50% off. Larger bundles dropped even further per-card.

Community breakdowns estimated that smart card purchasing cuts total full-draw costs down to the 4,000 to 5,000 CP range per draw compared to the raw CP total.

How to actually use them: go to the Events or Store tab before you spin, find the NieR Card Bundles section, and buy every available bundle.

Then when you enter the Lucky Draw, toggle the payment method from CP to Cards. The cost per spin is the same numerically, but you paid less real money for each card than you would have for raw CP.

Across both draws, optimized card purchasing reportedly drops dual-draw completion from 18,000 to 25,000 raw CP down to around 8,000 to 10,000 effective CP. That is a meaningful difference for anyone planning to clear both pools.

Price & How to Draw

Spin costs follow CODM’s standard escalating structure. Here is the breakdown for a single draw based on community-tracked data, with regional variation between high-cost regions (NA/EU) and cheaper regions including India and Garena servers.

Spin	NA/EU Cost (CP)	India/Garena Cost (CP)
1	30	10
2	80	30
3	120	50 (approx)
4	300	120
5	500	200
6	800	320
7	1,300	520
8	2,000	800
9	2,800	1,100
10	4,700	1,800
Total	~12,630 CP	~5,000–5,800 CP

In USD, a full single draw runs approximately $115 to $130 in NA and EU regions. On cheap-region servers, that drops to around $50 to $60.

RNG can cut that dramatically if you hit the Legendary weapon early, but banking on a lucky pull before spin 8 for the operator skin is statistically how players get stuck spending 8,000 CP and walking away without 2B.

Dual draw full completion raw: 18,000 to 25,000 CP range depending on your region and luck. With NieR Exclusive Cards fully purchased and applied: estimated 8,000 to 10,000 effective CP for both.

How to Draw in CODM x NieR: Automata

1. Update your game and log in during the active collab window for Season 5 2026.
2. Head to the Store tab or the event landing page and locate the NieR Card Bundles section under Special Offers or Low Spend Large Rewards.
3. Buy every available NieR Exclusive Card bundle before you spin anything.
4. Go to the Lucky Draw section and select either Morph Symphony (2B draw) or Final Apocalypact (Commander draw).
5. Toggle the payment method to Cards instead of CP.
6. Start spinning. The draw costs increase with each pull regardless of whether you use Cards or raw CP, so the savings come from having bought cards at a discount, not from a lower listed cost.

If you are targeting both operator skins and do not care about piecemeal pulls, full completion on both draws with cards purchased first is the cleaner approach.

Stopping mid-draw on a budget usually means spending the high-cost spins without reaching the guaranteed operator.

The CODM x NieR: Automata collaboration 2026 return is still one of the highest-quality aesthetic drops we’ve seen in seasons.

The 2B skin’s slim profile and the Morph Symphony PP19 Bizon’s incredibly clean, pay-to-win iron sights provide significant tactical advantages in sweaty Ranked lobbys.

But the Lucky Draw RNG is still as brutal as it gets, and if you are fully committed to clearing the draw to make sure you get that exclusive 2B skin and her Legendary blueprint you need a heavy CP reserve.

The smartest way to fund that full draw is by securing fast, safe, and affordable top-up CP at Joytify before you even touch the spin button.

Don’t get caught stalling out on spin 9; prep your loadout, top up smart at Joytify, and we will see you in the Legendary lobbies.
