Players who struggle to earn the Platinum Skin in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (PC, PS4, Xbox One) will experience their blue wonder. This skin has a significant disadvantage.
How do you get the Platinum Skin? You must collect all Camos for every weapon in a class to receive the special Platinum Skin. This can take quite a long time.
Cool Skin with a Big Disadvantage
What is the disadvantage of the skin? Once you own the Platinum Skin, your weapon gets a metallic shine – Platinum.
While it looks stylish, Platinum reflects light. And that’s where the problem lies. When light shines on your weapon in CoD Modern Warfare, it reflects so strongly that you can no longer aim properly. This is extremely problematic in precarious combat situations.
Here you can see what it looks like with a Platinum Skin in the worst case:
Wait, hasn’t something like this happened before? Yes, the Gold Skins of weapons also have such an effect and make it difficult for players to aim in certain situations. However, Gold Skins are easier to find.
What do the players say about this? The community is not too thrilled about having to spend a lot of time to earn the Platinum Skin, only for it to come with disadvantages.

- BigScaryGarlicBoy wrote: “Wow, I think I should stop grinding then…”
- WolfGangEvo jokingly stated: “Realism, just as the developers intended.”
The developers are looking for a solution
Is there a solution? The player farrellsgone wrote on Reddit: “I had this problem, but after I turned off Motion Blur, it stopped.”
Those affected by the issues with Platinum Skins in CoD MW can try turning off Motion Blur or must wait for a fix.
What do the developers say about it? One of the developers from Infinity Ward commented on Reddit. He wrote:
This reminds me of cases in the past where scope lenses shone too brightly under perfect light conditions at certain angles while using ADS. The solution to these issues was not easy. In this case, I need to discuss this with the weapons team and try to find a creative solution. I’ll write this down in my holiday notes before I go back to the office on Monday.
