Despite visibility previously tweaked in the Call of Duty Warzone Season 6 patch, the Gaia operator skin is again in the spotlight, as the Modern Warfare 3 community calls for its removal due to it practically being pay-to-win.
The Gaia Skin, a skin for the Nova Operator, is again under fire. For those who remember when it was initially launched last month, many in the community complained about its visibility due to the nature of the skin being tree-like, comparable to Groot from the Marvel Universe. It received harsh criticism, to the point that players have called it pay-to-win due to needing the Battle Pass to earn it and the skin being nearly invisible in some environments. That was eventually addressed (to a degree) in the Season 6 Warzone patch, though with the launch of Modern Warfare 3, the Gaia skin is once again a problem.
This skin needs a nerf, it is so OP in estate and wasteland. Literally invisible

I can attest to the complaints, as I’ve played plenty of matches on Wasteland, where the skin would almost be impossible to spot. Since it can be partially seen through, and the color schemes are brown and muddy, common in outdoor maps, you can understand why it’s hard to see. We took the skin into private split-screen matches to show this effect.
If that green dot weren’t in that second photo, you’d probably never guess where the second player was. Even in the first photo, they’re hard to see. You can begin to understand why many are calling it pay-to-win, as while it doesn’t make you a better player, it does hide you from others, letting you get the drop on them without them realizing it. This skin is definitely up there with the original Rose Skin, which was also criticized for visibility until it got a proper fix.
Even if the skin isn’t removed, Sledgehammer NEEDS to address it. Call of Duty, in general, has to stop introducing such skins and other pay-to-win items. Let’s hope Sledgehammer is listening to all the feedback given by the community thus far. We’ll continue to monitor the skin should a nerf come.
Modern Warfare 3 is officially available starting today.
People got to whine about something I quess
Lol, people don’t complain about paying for guns but complain about a skin – stfu
Just get good, skill issue I guess
Wow how about all you cry baby players get better at the game and stop being sore losers because I have killed that character before in the game it’s called a challenge to kill someone. Sorry you can only kill the ones you can see blind get better and I’ll even help you 1v1 me in cod tomcat9395 come at me. I’ll show you how to play.
Why is this so funny to read?
Sounds like a bunch of kids crying cause they cant borrow mommies credit card to buy the battle pass. Boo hoo
sounds like a graphics or monitor/tv issue, or just plain bad eyes. Some people need to learn that some things cant just be the game. Git Gud, Git better screen, Git BP only options. Better hurry before 1st season starts. Hot take : i have the skin, i use the skin , im still trash= skin wont raise your already weak k/d.
