In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 a skin from Season 6 has been terrorizing players in multiplayer for weeks. Despite the pleas from the community, the developers did not respond, and now that Season 6 is coming to an end, the skin is finally set to be disabled and adjusted.
What kind of skin is it? In Modern Warfare 2, Season 6 featured a season full of superheroes and villains. Players could unlock many theme-related skins in the Battle Pass, if purchased. One of these skins was Gaia, a tree-like creature, which has caused a lot of trouble in MW2 and MW3.
The reason for this was Gaia’s appearance, as she could camouflage herself too well in almost any terrain. According to the developers, this skin is set to be disabled soon so that it can be adjusted.

Why is the skin being disabled? Gaia is among the most unfair P2W skins in Call of Duty. She can camouflage well and possesses glowing eyes and veins in her body with hardly any way to be detected. Many players called on the developers to adjust the skin, even during Season 6.
Once, the skin also went for an overhaul, but it was so minimal that there was hardly any difference on the battlefield. On Reddit, players were then able to ask the developers questions about MW3 and upcoming content, which were answered, including a question about when Gaia would finally be adjusted.
The developers responded with the following comment: “Adjustments to the operator skins Gaia and Gaia Blackcell are planned for Modern Warfare III. In a future game update, we will disable this skin until the changes can be made available to all players.” (via reddit.com)
How long will the skin be disabled? No one knows for sure yet. Soon Season 6 in MW2 will come to an end, and when that happens, Season 1 in MW3 will start. It could be that Modern Warfare 3 will disable Gaia at the start of its first season to quell further unrest in the community.
How the skin will be changed is still unknown, but brighter lights within the body as well as the eyes and mouth could be possible.
What do you think about Gaia finally being nerfed? Do you think it’s a shame or does the skin deserve it? Let us know in the comments!
