Call of Duty players, rejoice: developers Sledgehammer Games are cutting down the demonic tree terrorizing Modern Warfare 3 lobbies worldwide with plans to remove the Gaia Operator skin from the game and change it “in a future game update.”
Sledgehammer has today confirmed the Gaia skin will be disabled for all MW3 players in a Nov. 20 Reddit AMA, stating adjustments to both the base model and the Blackcell battle pass upgrade are in the pipeline. “In a future game update, we’ll disable this item until said changes can be released to all players,” the devs said. Unfortunately, Sledgehammer did not give a date for when the skin will be disabled and when it plans on returning, nor have they indicated a form of compensation to those who purchased the battle pass intending to unlock the Gaia skin.
