The golden weapon skin in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a goal for many players, requiring hours of play. However, this skin is plagued by problems.
What kind of skin is this? If you achieve specific goals with your weapons, you can unlock skins for them. Those who are particularly diligent will get the golden weapon camo.
With that, you can certainly show off in the match, making many strive for it. In the end, however, you will be greatly disappointed because the skin comes with gameplay-altering disadvantages.
A player shows how annoying the golden camo is
This is what happens with the skin: A golden weapon obviously shines in the light. Since Modern Warfare aims to be particularly realistic, this happens in a special way in the game.

If you aim with the weapon and look into the light, the sun reflects on the weapon so much that you get blinded. You can barely see through the sight, and enemies can walk in front of you unharmed. You still can’t recognize them.
This is especially bad: This weapon skin is a big goal for many players, and the more you look forward to achieving it. Now, this rare skin is not only useless but also worse than other skins.
How do other players react to this? Under the video on reddit , the reaction is mostly mockery. For example, it is said, “At least you’ll die in style” or “Can’t see the haters. The gold camo is by Gucci!”
However, there are also players who are annoyed by this. After all, a lot had to be done to achieve it, and now this rare skin disappoints.
Are there any tips against the bug? The user “Nowherelair” suggests that you should turn off “Screen Space Reflections.” This calculates the reflections from screen space data. If you turn this off, the reflection on the weapon should lessen.
This only helps PC players, as you cannot turn off these reflections on PS4 and Xbox.
By the way, in Modern Warfare you can now also play tournaments:
