Call of Duty: Warzone is adding a button to hide all the goofy skins
Activision is introducing a new toggle in Call of Duty: Warzone that allows players to hide cosmetic skins from other game modes. This feature, launching with Season 1 of Modern Warfare 4, replaces external skins with standard Operator appearances for a cleaner visual experience. The setting is optional and only affects the user's own view, leaving other players' appearances unchanged.
- ▪Season 1 of Modern Warfare 4 will include a toggle to replace non-Warzone skins with standard Operator models.
- ▪The new feature is disabled by default and does not alter how other players appear in the match.
- ▪Players can still see their own custom skins even when the toggle is enabled.
- ▪The update aims to address player complaints about distracting and ridiculous cosmetic items in matches.
