Wuthering Waves is one of the most popular gacha games out right now, sitting only behind Genshin Impact. One of the biggest appeals of the game is its characters that get increasingly elaborate and more alluring with every update. Fans absolutely adore the likes of the Shorekeeper and the recently released Carlotta, but, in some unfortunate news, it appears as though Wuthering Waves fans won’t get to see characters get “wet,” despite the suggestion from in-game files.

Wuthering Waves leak refutes “wet clothes” rumor

Leakers for Wuthering Waves discovered files alluding to “wet textures” and “wet clothes” for Carlotta. These were added to the WuWa files with update 2.0, but they are yet to actually materialize for Carlotta in-game.

It’s possible “wet clothes” could be added for Carlotta at some point in the future, but it won’t happen for other characters as believed in rumors. Per WuWa Land, as shared on Reddit by StretchItchy4408, “If you’ve seen news that characters will get ‘wet clothes’ effects in the future, forget it”.

WuWa Land elaborated, “Only Carlotta has this effect, the texture has just been in the game since update 2.0. This does not mean that other characters will receive the same effect”.

It’s unknown when the effect will arrive for Carlotta, and it’s entirely possible the idea has been scrapped. However, right now, all we know is that the “wet clothes” effects is/was planned for Carlotta only, which is disappointing for players who would like to see such textures for everyone.

Reacting to the report from WuWa Land, one of the many replies anguishes over the reality that there will be “no lace bra Zani”. A lot of other replies show good humor with one comment saying, “So how did you get that wet Carlotta model,” to which another user joked, “A wet dream”.

Another comment jokes, “Falling on my knees in Walmart praying,” while another says, “B-but my wet Yinlin and Changli”. There’s also a bunch of funny devastated gifs from movies and television that perfectly sum up the community’s despair.

Away from obvious jokes, it will be interesting to see if the effect materializes at all for Carlotta.  If it does, fans will hope it gets extended to new and old characters amongst the roster. The addition of “wet clothes” and “wet textures” is clearly something fans crave, even if not for the purest reasons.
