Weapon skins and other cosmetic skins contribute largely to a first-person shooting game. Because the players have a point of view in which they can visualize themselves on the battleground. Therefore, skins and badges add an instinctive value to the experience of holding a customized cosmetic and feel like it’s their own. Although, there are always two sides to a coin.
Call of Duty to introduce characters from a famous Netflix series
Call of Duty has a history of some of the most amazing crossovers to present to the community. They have crossovers featuring Snoop Dogg, Attack on Titan, Die Hard, The Terminator, and many more. Recently, they have adopted the inspiration from a Netflix series and its respective comic.

While some fans were thrilled by the amazing skin lines, some were unhappy with the nature of the collaboration. A fan said, “Instead of fixing the point system for the current event you focus on releasing this bull crap? This is not fortnite! How are you going to incorporate this hot mess into the game? What was the point of caldera if you were planning to introduce lasers? Stay on topic.”
Here are the varied reactions of the people to the news:

While the weapon skins do not explicitly affect the gameplay, it enhances the experience of the gamers. However, this collaboration is facing criticism, as it does not match the tone of the game. Therefore, it is difficult to assume how good can this collaboration turn out for gamers.
Other appearance from the action series
With the release of season 5, Call of Duty Warzone and Vanguard could see the Hazel bundle in the store as well. Furthermore, both characters are associated with the Temps Commission in the action series.
Notably, the designs of the skins resemble the comic versions of the characters. Above all, this comes before the release of Modern Warfare 2 and raises the bar for future expectations.

Also, the Cha-Cha bundle will be featuring cosmetics like Legendary “Cha-Cha” Operator Skin, “Cut the Crap” Finishing Move, and “Bone Shredder” Weapon Charm.
