Key Takeaways

  • First cel-shaded operator skin in Black Ops 6 sparks debates among players worldwide.
  • Alvarez’s Cruiser skin bundle is now available for 2,000 COD Points in the Black Ops 6 store.
  • Players have mixed reactions to the new cel-shaded skin, with some wanting more realistic options.

As a long-time fan of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and someone who appreciates the gritty, realistic feel of the game, I must admit that the recent release of the cel-shaded operator skin for Alvarez left me somewhat divided. On one hand, I’ve always been intrigued by anime aesthetics and the vibrant energy they bring to a game. However, in the context of Black Ops 6, with its dark, tactical tone, this new skin feels out of place.

Treyarch introduced a new operator skin with a cel-shaded style in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 during Season 1, which has stirred up discussions among players within the community. Lately, gamers have expressed dissatisfaction towards the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 concerning the unrealistic skins presented in Season 1.

In a start on November 14, Season 1 for both Black Ops 6 and Warzone became active, introducing fresh maps, gameplay modes, weapons, character skins, and numerous other features. This launch also signified a year’s worth of content updates for both games happening concurrently. The debut was generally welcomed by players and critics, but Black Ops 6 encountered some controversy over legacy XP tokens and the unrealistic operator skins in Season 1. Treyarch handled the XP token issue by enabling all Black Ops 6 gamers to use their old tokens again; however, they seem resolute in releasing the contested new skins, including the Draconic Forge Mastercraft Tracer Pack. Now, Black Ops 6 is getting its first skin with a cel-shaded design and anime-inspired aesthetics.

In the Black Ops 6 store, the renowned cel-shaded Cruiser operator skin for Alvarez has been introduced in the latest Tracer Pack: Snowtime Showtime bundle, costing 2,000 COD Points. This skin transforms Alvarez into a skilled winter sports enthusiast with an anime-style appearance, featuring vibrant yellow eyes and purple hair. The response among Black Ops 6 players seems divided, as some appreciate the game’s first cel-shaded skin, while others feel it is overly bright and too noticeable during combat. Some critics on social media argue that this skin doesn’t fit well within the context of Black Ops 6, comparing it to skins from Fortnite. Others express a preference for skins inspired by actual anime series or a re-release of Call of Duty’s Gundam collaboration.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Adds Its First Cel-Shaded Skin

  • Alvarez’s Cruiser operator skin bundle is out now in the Black Ops 6 store for 2,000 COD Points.
  • The bundle includes anime-inspired Goblin MK2 and Kompakt 92 blueprints.
  • Players are mixed on the new operator skin, with some wanting more realistic skins in the game.

The Cruiser package includes a double XP token along with anime-styled accessories, including the Polar Rip blueprint for the Goblin MK2 Assault Rifle in Black Ops 6 and the Halfpipe Handler blueprint for the Kompakt 92 SMG. The weapon camouflage of these blueprints features an anime-inspired skier design, which has been garnering a range of responses from fans on social media. Similar to other operator bundles, the Cruiser bundle can be used in both Black Ops 6 and Warzone.

In a move that resonates with the Black Ops 6 community’s dissatisfaction over impractical operator skins, Alvarez’s latest skin has surfaced, leaving us wondering how Treyarch will respond to the feedback from disgruntled players. Prior to Alvarez’s debut, a significant portion of the community’s complaints revolved around Black Ops 6’s shark bundle, as fans have been yearning for skins that align with the game’s 1990s theme.
