Warzone and BO6’s “pay to win” Terminator skin is still OP after nerf

Back in the original Warzone, everyone called the Roze skin ‘pay-to-win,’ but in Season 3, it’s the Terminator T-800. The $30 skin is just a metal skeleton, so it perfectly blends in with the environment. It got nerfed, but players find it hard to tell the difference.

The devs announced on April 7 that “the Endo Titanium Core skin for the T-800 Operator will receive a visibility adjustment to ease target identification,” and players couldn’t have been happier.

It’s frequently been called pay to win, and it’s been causing havoc across BO6 and Warzone as it’s nearly impossible to see against certain backdrops, and that adjustment arrived on April 8.

However, despite the patch notes confirming its arrival, players can barely see the difference. YouTuber HunterTV posted a comparison, and while you can see the new version reflects slightly more light, players don’t think it’s nearly enough.

“Guess they forgot to go through with the update,” replied streamer Kalei, with YouTuber Loochy asking, “Am I being gaslit right now?”

Over on Reddit, the discussion is much the same. Many are making the “it’s the same picture” Office reference. “So basically it’s a smidge lighter now,” replied one player. “It’s still broken.”

The Roze skin was nerfed a few times back in the original Verdansk, and more recently, the almost-invisible Gaia ‘Groot’ skin was temporarily removed to be fixed after players felt the first nerf wasn’t enough.

The backlash to the Terminator skin hasn’t been quite as strong as the reaction to Gaia, but with players convinced the nerf wasn’t enough, there’s a high chance the devs will take another look at the skin.

The $30 Terminator skin isn’t in the store at the time of writing, so only players who have already bought it can use it. But that doesn’t stop your lobby from being full of players taking advantage of the camouflage.
