Summary
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players want to see Warpaint return.
- Warpaint was featured in the original Black Ops, Black Ops 4, and made a return in the form of Face Camo in WW2.
- Players want the feature added to Black Ops 6 but not as a purchasable cosmetic.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players are pleading with developer Treyarch Studios to bring back Warpaint, an iconic cosmetic feature that has only been featured in three different Call of Duty titles over the years: Black Ops, Black Ops 4, and WW2. With operator skins and weapon blueprints becoming a staple of the Call of Duty franchise in recent years, Black Ops 6 players believe it's time for this classic feature to return.
Ever since Infinity Ward rebooted the Modern Warfare series in 2019, outlandish operator skins and unique weapon blueprints have become a divisive topic in the Call of Duty community. Year after year, Activision releases unrealistic cosmetic items that some players believe ruin the theme of Call of Duty. Others, however, argue that Call of Duty has never been a realistic military simulator, so a few vibrant operator skins here and there make no difference. Black Ops 6's operator skins have once again taken things to the next level, creating an even bigger divide among the community, but now some players believe a different type of cosmetic item should take center stage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Players Want Warpaint to Return
In a new post on Reddit, user Little_Pomelo2573 urged Treyarch to bring back Warpaint, with a slight difference. Unlike many of the other Black Ops 6 weapon blueprints, operator skins, and various other cosmetic items, the user says Warpaint should be "earned, not purchased." This would mean that players would be able to earn various face paints via in-game challenges or by reaching a specific level, but not everybody is optimistic. Reddit user Rgraff58 says that it will "never happen as long as greed exists," while Fraegtgaortd says they would "love to see it", but it'll "never happen again."
After only being featured in two Black Ops games, face camouflage made a return in Call of Duty: WW2, allowing players to customize their character with a variety of different face camos. Sledgehammer Games' 2017 shooter allowed players to purchase a variety of different cosmetic items, such as helmets and face camos, each coming in different rarities and purchasable with Armory Credits. Smaller customization options such as face paint sadly haven't been seen in a Call of Duty title since, but it looks like there's a clear demand from players to see the feature return.
While the return of face camo in Call of Duty is unlikely, there is expected to be plenty of new content coming to both Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 with Season 2 on January 28. With Season 1 finally coming to an end, Activision is expected to release a brand-new Battle Pass filled with a plethora of new cosmetic items and consumables, with full details likely to arrive roughly one week before the season's launch.

WHERE TO PLAY
Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
