The gaming community surrounding Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is buzzing with opinions about the latest addition to the collection of operator skins. Players are raising eyebrows at the newly revealed Irradiated skin, which many are dubbing a “pay-to-lose” cosmetic due to its potentially disruptive design.
Concerns Over Cosmetic Quality
In light of the premium costs associated with new operator and weapon skins, gamers anticipate top-notch quality from their purchases. However, Black Ops 6 has previously faced criticism for offering cosmetics that some players feel negatively impact gameplay. For instance, the Dark Practitioner Mastercraft Bundle released in December 2024 included the Occult blueprint for the PP-919, which unfortunately obstructed player aim with its elaborate design.
The Upcoming Irradiated Skin Has Fans Talking
Set to debut in the Tracer Pack: Inner Sight Bundle, the Irradiated skin for operator Troy Marshall will introduce X-Ray-themed items, including transparent weapon blueprints. Players are eagerly awaiting the release date to see how this new aesthetic plays out in matches, even though the skin is currently visible in-game but unavailable for purchase.
Preview footage shows Marshall sporting the skin, but its vivid green and yellow accents have fans expressing concern over its effectiveness, often for the wrong reasons. As seen in an engaging tweet by DETONATED, conversations about the skin have ensued across platforms.

Community Reactions
Responses to the initial tweet reflect a mix of humor and criticism. One player quipped “pay to lose,”while Reddit discussions suggest a widespread sentiment that the skin’s design makes Marshall an obvious target for opponents. Jokes about the skin practically begging enemies to “shoot me”aren’t in short supply.
On the flip side, some players have found a silver lining; one user humorously noted how such conspicuous skins help them navigate the game better, stating, “my eyesight is sh** these days, and so many of them help stick out against the backgrounds.” Another added, “This looks hilarious. People using this skin will be way easier to see at least.”
The bright and bold nature of the Irradiated skin certainly raises eyebrows about its potential gameplay implications. While fans eagerly anticipate its official release within the Inner Sight pack, only time will reveal whether this skin becomes an asset or a liability in matches.
