Call of Dutyis no stranger to controversies, and there’s a new one that has grappled with players as of late. The highly anticipatedModern Warfare 3andWarzonecollaboration withFalloutis not so anticipated anymore after skins from the event leaked and were met with disapproving eyes.

The prospect of Bethesda’s IP collaborating with such a popular Activision franchise might have been exciting at first, but the leaks have backfired and the hype has taken a huge hit. To many, the skins are a complete mess, and people are upset.
This looks like shit😭😭😭
One user on X/Twitter asked how Activision could “fumble” a collaboration of this magnitude “so badly,” insulting the look of the skins.
People in the replies agreed, saying the company could’ve gone for Walton Goggins, armor, or anything else from the franchise’s universe, really.

Whether it was in jest or with intention, some users even called for the designers of the skin to be fired from the team. These were just a few of the many bad reactions that people had toward the skins.
Call of Duty and Skin Controversies Go Hand-In-Hand
While the appeal of the skins is debatable, it would be an even more controversial move if Activision added some bonuses that turned them from simple cosmetics to must-have, pay-to-win ones.
This wouldn’t be the first time the company pulled off something like that, either. Last month, the company releasedSerial Killer-themed operator skinsthat had a controversial bonus that gave players double XP bonuses.
To make matters even more convoluted, if everyone in the party equipped a skin from the set, the whole party would get added Double Battlepass XP.
Many people were upset; to maximize XP gains, your whole group of friends would need to splurge on the cosmetic set. If you were trying to team up with randoms, there’s a chance that having a skin from the set could decide whether someone will kick you from the party immediately or not.
What is your opinion on the skins? Do you think Activision will release them with any set bonuses? Let us know in the comments below!
