The video gaming world has seen amazing crossovers which bring out amazing cosmetics to the game. Sparkling paint sprays, themed badges, and enchanting weapon skins add excitement to the gaming experience. Hereby, Call of Duty has unleashed another aesthetic collection, but the fans are second-guessing the move.

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 Warzone and Vanguard will be featuring a bundle based on The Umbrella Academy. The Umbrella Academy is an action-fiction series on Netflix. Chiefly, the bundle features a character that has hyped the franchise’s audience.

Recently, a Twitter account by the name CharlieIntel (@charlieINTEL) tweeted about the bundle. Moreover, it suggests that the bundle has gone live. The tweet shows that the bundle will be having Cha-Cha Legendary Operator Skin, Bonesaw Legendary Weapon Blueprint, and Costello’s Legendary Weapon Blueprint. Here is the clip that he tweeted:

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
