Warzone players claim controversial Gaia skin’s rework is an “absolute abomination”
Call of DutyThis week saw the return of the controversial Gaia skin in Warzone, and even though it’s been fixed somewhat, players are still disgusted by it.
The Gaia skin came to the game back in September, before the release of last year’s MW3, and quickly drew criticisms from the community.
Due to the negative reception, the skin was removed and underwent some reworking. Developers released back into the game this week.
While the community feels that it’s at least better, many still think the skin itself is hideous to look at.
Warzone fans think the Gaia skin is awful
After the skin returned, a player posted to the Warzone subreddit, asking: “So, GAIA is back in the game, what ya think about the change?” They added an image of the new skin to give everyone perspective on how it looks.
The response was less than positive, with many players not happy about the way skin looks in general, outside of its fixes.
“You definitely see her better now. The skin remains ugly af,” is one comment that spoke to this feeling.
When the skin originally came out, the coloring was much darker and there were a lot of spots that were see-through. This made it incredibly difficult to see in the game, and players labeled it a “pay-to-win” cosmetic.
Now, that part of it seems to have been helped at least, with one user saying: “Glad he’s been made to wear a black jump suit.”
This is in reference to the black sections that now fill where it used to be see-through.
But the community still feels the skin is ugly, in general, and don’t seem to want it in the game anyway: “Still a stupid skin but now I can at least SEE how stupid it is ingame…”
It’s a better situation, but players remain down on the skin and don’t think it has a place in the game’s rotation.
