A music video was made for the song, chronicling the origins of the band's mascot, Vic Rattlehead. The music video, the first of three music videos leading up to the release of the album, depicts close-quarters military gun battles. This is the first music video to feature James LoMenzo as a bassist since "Head Crusher" from the 2009 album Endgame. He had returned as Megadeth's bassist in 2021, initially as a touring replacement for David Ellefson, who had been fired in May of that year. LoMenzo was announced as the band's bassist in 2022.
