After introducing playable Operators with the launch of 2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Activision’s shooter series is full of playable characters that range from Captain Price to the extremely pink Nicki Minaj. With new characters appearing with each update, there are instances where game-breaking bugs and glitches impact both multiplayer and battle royale action.
Black Ops 6 and its subsequent integration into Warzone introduced a huge selection of new Operators and skins to unlock. Despite some of the most unique outfits on offer, the notorious invisibility glitch has returned once again resulting in Treyarch taking action to prevent it from ruining matches even more.
Call of Duty Joyride skin removed
On January 6, the CODUpdates X account announced Maya’s Joyride Operator skin which features as part of the Steel Mountain Rider bundle has been disabled much to the annoyance of players who have parted ways with their CoD Points.
The announcement never reveals the exact cause of why the Joyride skin is no longer available for the popular Maya Operator. Multiple players have revealed the skin is turning players invisible in Warzone, giving players a huge advantage on their quest to become the last one standing.
Call of Duty’s battle royale has a track record of introducing Operator skins that make players disappear. Shortly after Black Ops 6 was integrated, the Repairman Operator skin for Weaver made all body parts apart from the head disappear resulting in a better chance of making it to the final circle.
A positive step forward
Warzone’s developers disabling the skin is a step in the right direction and shows they’ve not let the problem go unnoticed. Although it’s just for an invisible skin, it appears the developers are listening after all.
Addressing invisible skins is one of several flaws with both Black Ops 6 and Warzone that desperately need fixing. Cheaters continue to run rampant while other issues continue impacting players across both modes. With the start of Season 2 moving into view, everyone hopes Call of Duty can reverse its fortunes after a rocky start to 2025.
