It is now very difficult to distinguish between an enemy and an ally, users say.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer continues to be replenished with unusual crossovers, and now the game has skins from the Squid Game series.

The innovation has caused a lot of controversy. Some believe that the developers have reached a new level of “masquerade”, while others, on the contrary, like the bright design of the costumes. But not everyone likes the crowds of identical green overalls that confuse you during intense shootouts.

Confusion in Combat

Reddit users complain that all the players in these skins look the same, which makes it easy to confuse whether you’re facing an enemy or an ally:

“Is anyone else tired of these damn skins? Not to mention the fact that the women all look the same running around the game, so it’s hard to tell who’s an enemy and who’s not.”

“These skins are driving me nuts! Everyone looks the same, especially during a chaotic firefight. You don’t know if you’re shooting an enemy or a teammate!”

Another player added: “It’s not just the overalls—it’s the masks too. The only difference is a small geometric shape: a circle, triangle, or square. That’s hardly enough to help in a split-second decision.”

Cost Controversy

Let’s not forget that all these skins cost money. For example, the look of a masked worker can be bought for 28 thousand units of in-game currency, or about 28 dollars. But there is a point: you cannot buy a skin directly for real money, the same applies to the local currency, it is sold in separate sets. Therefore, to buy a pack of skins with the Squid Game employees, you need to spend at least $30.

And needless to say, the only thing that distinguishes different employees from each other is the geometric shape on the mask. A circle, a triangle, and a square, that’s all the differences.

This has left some players questioning the value proposition. “Why would anyone pay so much for skins in a first-person shooter?” one Reddit user asked. “In games like Fortnite, you can see your character all the time. But in CoD, you never see your skin unless you’re on the MVP screen—which I rarely make it to!”

Earlier, Marvel Rivals found a bug that gives players with high FPS an advantage in the game. Low FPS slows down character animations and reduces their damage.

Conclusion

The Squid Game skin controversy is part of a larger debate about monetization and gameplay balance in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Players argue that the focus on cosmetic sales often comes at the expense of refining core gameplay mechanics.
