Treyarch has released the first cel-shaded operator skin in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 1, and its inclusion sparked some debates among players in the community. In recent weeks, players have criticized the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 developers for the game’s unrealistic skins in Season 1.
Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 1 went live on November 14 with new maps, game modes, weapons, operator skins, and much more. The beginning of Season 1 also marked the start of one year’s worth of content updates for both games running simultaneously. Although the game was well-received by fans and critics, Black Ops 6 faced some controversy regarding legacy XP tokens and Season 1’s unrealistic operator skins. Treyarch addressed the XP token controversy and allowed all Black Ops 6 players to use their old tokens once more, but the developers are seemingly steadfast in the release of the new skins that players are unhappy with, including the Draconic Forge Mastercraft Tracer Pack. Now, Black Ops 6 receives its first cel-shaded skin with anime-style cosmetics.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Players Think Something’s Wrong With Double XP Event
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 kicks off its latest double XP weekend, but fans are convinced that they’re not actually receiving double XP.
The cel-shaded legendary Cruiser operator skin for Alvarez is now available in the new Tracer Pack: Snowtime Showtime bundle for 2,000 COD Points in the Black Ops 6 store, as spotted by CharlieIntel on Twitter. The Cruiser skin turns Alvarez into a seasoned skier with an anime-inspired aesthetic, including bright chartreuse eyes and purple hair. Black Ops 6 players appear to be split when discussing the new skin, with some believing that the game’s first cel-shaded skin is a welcome addition, while others believe it’s too bright and stands out too much in combat. A few other players on social media believe the skin is entirely out of place in Black Ops 6, drawing comparisons to skins from Fortnite. Some would also prefer new skins from actual anime series and a re-run of Call of Duty’s Gundam collaboration.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Adds Its First Cel-Shaded Skin
- Alvarez’s Cruiser operator skin bundle is out now in the Black Ops 6 store for 2,000 COD Points.
- The bundle includes anime-inspired Goblin MK2 and Kompakt 92 blueprints.
- Players are mixed on the new operator skin, with some wanting more realistic skins in the game.
The Cruiser bundle comes with a double XP token and other anime-inspired items, such as the Polar Rip blueprint for Black Ops 6’s Goblin MK2 Assault Rifle and Halfpipe Handler blueprint for the Kompakt 92 SMG. The blueprint’s weapon camo depicts a skier drawn in an anime-like art style, which appears to be getting mixed reactions from fans on social media so far. Like other operator bundles, Cruiser and its associated cosmetics may be equipped in both Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
Alvarez’s new skin mounts on top of the Black Ops 6 community’s frustration with unrealistic operator skins, and it remains to be seen how the developers at Treyarch will address feedback from players who are unhappy about the skin. Before Alvarez’s skin was released, much of the community’s criticism stemmed from the release of Black Ops 6’s shark bundle, since players have been wanting operator skins that fit the game’s 1990s setting.
