Forget killstreaks, there’s a new mission in Call of Duty: Warzone, and this one’s about saving your f**king life.
Launched in April during Testicular Cancer Awareness Month, The Lifesaving Lobby is a grassroots campaign using Warzone lobbies to deliver a no-bulls**t reminder: check your nuts. No sponsors. No merch drops. Just a blunt callout to young men to get real about testicular cancer, the most common cancer in men aged 15 to 35.
It started with Rhys Venning, a Brisbane based ad creative and long time gamer who got gut punched by the stats during a podcast. Two mates diagnosed. Both young, both healthy. Both alive because they caught it early.
So Venning rallied a crew of players and dropped into matches under names like The Pain Below, Usual Lump, and Aching Boys not for clout, but as walking symptom checklists. When the guns fall silent and players stew in those post match lobbies, that’s when the message hits: Check your nuts.
“It’s not about fundraising or viral clicks,” Venning told us. “It’s about hitting that two minute window between games and planting the idea that could save someone’s life.”
Backed by Movember, who’ve opened access to their ‘Know Thy Nuts’ education hub, the campaign’s already gaining traction. No ad spend. No brand partnerships. Just passion, strategy, and the kind of raw honesty that actually sticks in a Warzone chat.
Because in the middle of all the chaos, sometimes it’s that quiet moment between matches that gives you the most important mission of all.
