"How much do I need to pay you": CoD fans ask Activision to disable new skins in Black Ops 6

Black Ops 6 has been getting positive reviews for its fast-paced gameplay, engaging maps, and nostalgic references to older Black Ops titles. However, for a growing set of fans, one issue stands out as an obvious flaw — the overly flashy and "disgustingly ugly” Operator skins. Many Redditors have also voiced their disappointment with them.

For instance, u/The_Bread_Loaf made a post with this caption, asking Activision to disable such skins so others can't use them:

"Alright Activision, how much do I need to pay to permanently disable other players obnoxious skins?"

They highlighted their frustration with neon-colored Operator skins and over-the-top weapon effects that they believe have a compromising effect on their gameplay.

On that note, u/RopeDue2131 highlighted the profit Activision generates through cosmetics, suggesting it is unlikely to prioritize player complaints over its revenue stream.

u/TheCookieButter reminisced about a simpler time when skins were either personal client-side mods or unlockable items that adhered to the aesthetic of the title they were in. The user seems to want games to offer an option to disable other players' skins.

u/The_X_Filess highlighted the divide between gamers who prioritize gameplay and those who use skins as a form of self-expression or status.

In contrast, Redditor u/homiegeet offered a practical perspective, emphasizing that Call of Duty had flashy cosmetics long before Fortnite popularized the trend. The user believes players should be desensitized to them by now. They see complaints regarding skins as an overreaction in a genre where such features are now the norm.

Mil-sim fans in Call of Duty want Activision to remove unrealistic skins

Going by u/The_Bread_Loaf's post about disabling "obnoxious" skins, fans in Call of Duty seem to be calling for Activision to provide an option to disable unrealistic cosmetics in Black Ops 6 or remove them altogether. Their argument centers on preserving immersion, as they feel the neon-colored, fantastical skins clash with the military-style gameplay they enjoy.

The issue recently gained traction following u/The_Bread_Loaf's Reddit post, where gamers expressed frustration over how these skins disrupt the classic Call of Duty experience.

Despite the pushback, Activision is unlikely to make changes, as these skins remain a significant revenue source.
