There's something wrong in Warzone again - quick everyone, act surprised!

In all seriousness, Warzone, much like its players, has suffered since its launch. Bugs, glitches, hackers, lambasting from streamers and the game's biggest champions - the game hasn't had it easy, but equally, it hasn't done enough to keep out the hackers that make the Call of Duty: Warzone experience so bleak, and nigh-on unplayable.

Raven Software don't really help themselves, and sadly, it seems that they're causing problems for their players once again - with a skin that basically makes the game unplayable. Wicked.

In yet another disappointing show in the skins department, a new Warzone skin that has landed on the game's store is causing players a lot of trouble. The Lethal Luxury Tracer Pack looks incredibly bougie with all of its gold accoutrements, blueprints and weapon charms - but the big problem is Astrakhan, the new skin for Padmavati.

The skin has a big, dramatic fur coat, that in any case would seem a bit extra - but it definitely is for the players actually wearing the skin, as when the player runs, the collar of the coat clips in front of the player's eye-line, meaning that textures flicker on and off of the screen when they move, hindering players hugely and practically becoming a pay-to-lose skin. Nice one.

A video was posted to Reddit to show off the skin's problems - and players aren't exactly happy about it.

Fans React To Pay-To-Lose Skin

Fans have taken to the internet to voice their complaints about the Astrakhan skin - and hoo boy, are there a lot of them.

"Raven is seriously the most inept developer next to DICE at this point," says one comment.

"It's beyond insane to me that people still spent real money on skins when a game has the track record that this game has," says another user. "Bugs are deserved at this point IMHO."

 

The skin is clearly a problem - and as a lot of players have pointed out, it's one that Raven are likely to fix as quick as possible to avoid losing any profit from the Tracer Pack. It's a point that has frustrated players for a long time, and it's not likely to go away any time soon. Sorry.
