Activision tweaks Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone's Terminator's skin is hard to see after players say “paid win”

Since then, T-800 skins have bothered Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone It's part of the $30 premium bundle earlier this yearleading some to accuse Activision of adding “paid win” cosmetics to first-person shooters.

The problem is related to visibility. The T-800 has a flat model and lacks lighting. Compared to other character models, it is difficult to see from medium to long distances. It's hard to see everything about gunfights in a fast and crazy game like Call of Duty.

The T-800 is so bad that the developers of Activision had to include it, so the real-time update on April 8 does just that. Or, it tries to do that. This is from Patch Description:

• T-800 operators have obtained visibility adjustments to simplify target recognition for titanium core skin.

But is this change far enough? Some Call of Duty players say that this adjustment has little effect on their ability to see the Terminator in the game.

The question is, will activate the Terminator further address these persistent visibility issues?

Of course, this is not the first time there is a visibility issue. Most notably, Roze operator's skin caused various issues in Warzone in 2021, forcing Raven's developers to tweak it. Coincidentally, Roze returns to Season 3 of Black Ops 6 and Warzone, but locks behind the Battle Pass, even the more expensive BlackCell version.
