The reflection of an explosion on someone�s glasses.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6season 1 has introduced a few skins that some players hate so much they’re willing to payActivisionjust so they no longer have to see them in every single match.

There are a few skins around this season that are, well,ugly as all hell.These include a new parasite-inspired skin, the Goliath operator skin, and perhaps the most infamous new addition, the Dragon Knight, which looks like something more suited for Destiny or WoW than a Call of Duty game.

However, someone else points out that you could actually use the Dragon Knight skin to your advantage if you see someone with it on the enemy team. “In stakeout, if that skin is lead running down a hallway, you basically have a line of blind people to down,” anotherplayer says. “Got back-to-back fury kills from the same idiot.”

But other than this player who has chosen to look on the bright side of the even brighter skin, most players are trying to figure out or just ask for ways to hide the hideous cosmetics for good. “I’d pay not to see other player’s skins or tracer rounds,” playeraizendoto says. “I don’t know why the skins in CoD have escalated to this degeneracy. Oh, I know, because people buy this dogshit for some reason. I thought Nicki Minaj was the peak of dogshit, but today I log on, and there is a green glowing dragon that has huge wings and shoots light green explosions that literally make you see NOTHING on impact.”

“Please let us turn off cosmetics,” anotherplayer asks. “If you want that stupid shit, whatever, but let us disable that garbage. I don’t need to see dragons and lazers all over the map. Can’t we just go back to pre-season? At the bare minimum, disable all the stupid effects on our end. If you want to have an epileptic fit on your end, that should be your problem.”

The best part of being able to turn off cosmetics wouldn’t just be getting to go one round without having to deal with flashy skins around every corner, but it would also be pretty funny to think there’d be players out there spending money on skins no one else will ever see. If someone wears a gaudy skin in a CoD match and no one’s around to see it, does it even exist?
