Warzone players divided as “pay to lose” skin makes it impossible to hide
ActivisionCall of Duty players have hit out at a new “pay to lose” skin in Warzone that will make you stand out in pretty much any situation, but some are actually fans of it.
Epic Games changed the battle royale landscape when they started adding new skins and cosmetics to Fortnite with pretty much every weekly update. It started off as their own designs and ideas but they quickly started adding crossovers and influencer skins.
Call of Duty has been following the same blueprint for a while, giving players a multitude of ways to customize their look in-game. This has split the community somewhat, given that a lot of players would prefer to see more realistic military skins in-game rather than a crossover with, say, Diablo.
However, there is a new skin that has drawn some anger from parts of the community, and it’s a part of the Sketched Out tracker pack as it looks like you won’t be able to camp at all if you decide to use it.
CoD players unsure on new Pop-Erator skin in Warzone
The new Pop Art-inspired pack was added to the COD Store on February 6, just ahead of MW3’s Season 2 update, and comes with the aptly-named Pop-Erator skin for Kortac, as well as blueprints for the Striker 9 and MCW.
The operator’s skin is decked out in yellow, red, purple, blue, and white, and that has annoyed some players who would rather the game have more ‘realistic’ skins.
“Can’t wait to see all people who buy this and literally pay to lose,” said one player. “This is definitely a pay-to-lose skin,” another agreed. “Seen some cheaters running this skin a couple of weeks ago, looked stupid asf. Stands out way more than any other skin,” added another.
Others are fans of the skin, however. “I like this, but I’m too much of a bot to be seen this easily,” said one.
“Looks dope, not very functional though. It’s like most high fashion,” another commented. “I mean it does look pretty cool lol idk I’ve never cared that skins got outlandish. Mil sim skins are cool but do get kinda boring.”
If the skin is too visible in-game then it might be something that the devs have to look at for a change. But, for now, go wild if you’re a fan.
