Call of Duty fans are going to miss one fan-favorite skin in Black Ops 7 after it was announced that skins from Black Ops 6 will not carry forward.
Over the last few years, Call of Duty players have gotten increasingly vocal about their dislike of some of the cartoony skins that have started populating the games.
Rather than crossovers with Beavis and Butthead, American Dad, and even Godzilla, they want more realistic and military skins added to the mix. With Black Ops 7’s release on the horizon, it has been announced that cosmetics from Black Ops 6 won’t be carried forward.

“Black Ops 7 needs to feel authentic to Call of Duty and its setting. That is why Black Ops 6 Operator and Weapon content will not carry forward to Black Ops 7,” the devs said. Warzone, however, will be unaffected by this.

The change has been somewhat celebrated by fans. Many are hopeful that the apparent switch to be more “authentic” will deliver them what they’ve been asking for, while others fear cosmetic sales will become rampant.

However, some are going to miss pretty popular skins. “RIP The Replacer,” Redditor ILoveKetchup402 said, mourning the inability to use it in Black Ops 7. “RIPlacer,” another added.
“I absolutely despise Beavis & Butthead, unicorns, cartoons etc. I just wanted to use my replacer, t800, ballerina,” another commented. “That’s what pissed me off about the switch. I bought The Replacer skin because I thought I would be able to use him in both games,” another said.

Others quipped that the devs will simply re-release popular skins so fans have to fork out again.
“Don’t worry, The Replacer will be replaced by the new The Replacer,” one joked.
As noted, skins purchased in Black Ops 6 will still be usable in Warzone. So, you’re not losing them for good. They just won’t be in normal multiplayer games.
