The first time around, Kong's meaty hands weren't exactly welcomed by the Call of Duty community, as the cheesy collab that brought wreckage to Caldera and Vanguard was far too distracting from the core gameplay.

Aside from an XP glitch that came from tickling the ape's plums, the Godzilla and Kong crossover with Vanguard was widely criticised, but that hasn't stopped the beast from rising again.

Modern Warfare 3's new King Kong collab is here, and with it comes a brutal finisher that is making fans go ape.

With new collaborations come new finishing moves that are designed to add a brutal and unique way for the Operators to flex their personalities, and Kong is no different.

His return to the series will also see his infamous "yeet" finisher return in an even more brutal fashion than in previous years, as the move has begun circulating on social media.

First released on Twitter by "ModenasHD", in a now-deleted post, one of Kong's finishers appears to launch a deceased corpse hundreds of feet through the air with one swift punch. Another will see a similar javelin-like treatment to Kong's enemies, but will also feature him slamming them to the ground like a pillow that needs fluffing.

Although this isn't the first time that Kong will be launching carcasses around the arena like discarded apple corks, having had a similar move in Caldera and Vanguard, fans are loving its return to the series with even more power.

"Exactly what I'm doing to the money in my wallet when this becomes available," said popular content creator "Swiftor" on Twitter.

Other Warzone fans took to Reddit to say, "I really hope you can see them flying across the map on Warzone," while another added, "Imagine getting hit by them while parachuting."

Some players have even targetted using this on their most-hated skins as soon as it comes out, with Nicki Minaj, Homelander, and the upcoming Pigeon all being outed as the first Operators to get launched off the hills in Urzikstan.
