CoD players want to know what happened to all the free camos they used to get

Black Ops 6 fans have urged Call of Duty to bring back the free event camos and skins that were much more prevalent in previous games. 

For the last few years, Fortnite has paved the way for crossovers between gaming and pop culture as it has incorporated tonnes of popular movies, TV shows, and celebrities in-game. 

To the annoyance of some players, Call of Duty has followed this too. We’ve seen some COD-adjacent crossovers with the likes of Rambo, Die Hard, and The Terminator. However, there have been a few questionable ones too like Nicki Minaj and Cheech and Chong.

Black Ops 6 has continued on with these collabs, but the events – such as Squid Game – have been lacking in one big thing according to them; free skins.

COD fans want free event weapon skins back

In the past, Call of Duty dropped numerous free skins during events, which incentivized players to give them a go without needing to spend a penny.

“During MW3 alone I was able to get 50 different event camos throughout its 1-year life cycle which is nearly 1 per week,” Redditor 6ben pointed out. “During Black Ops 6 we haven’t gotten a single event camo from my understanding and it’s 4 months into the game already.”

They weren’t the only one annoyed. “I miss the amount of cool reactive camos in black ops 4, some of them could pass for mastery camos they looked so good,” one agreed. “Agree, event camos were cool. SHG knows how to do multiplayer correctly,” another chimed in.

Why don't events come with camos now?

“I loved MW3 camos. My only thinking is if they released better camos it would take away from “dark matter,” commented another.

The complaints about microtransactions have been constant in COD recently, with numerous players saying they’ve “given up” and started playing other titles.

Players are still, clearly, putting their hands in their pockets and shelling out for skins, so there isn’t any incentive for the devs to change things. Though, if the backlash increased, then they’d probably need a rethink.
