Players in Call of Duty: Warzone should be advised that there is presently an operator skin available that can render players nearly invisible while in use. The brand new operator skin in question is Francis’ Awoken operator skin, which can be acquired by reaching the highest level in Warzone Pacific‘s Season 1 Battle Pass.

Warzone reportedly has a new glitchy skin that renders players invisible
This problem has been in the game since the debut of the Warzone Pacific update in mid-December, but as more players have received the skin through the battle pass, complaints of players utilising it to disappear (intentionally or unintentionally) have soared in the last week. The glitch with the Francis Awoken operator skin appears to be a level-of-detail error that causes the character’s body to instantly disappear when he’s roughly 35 metres away. This new glitch in the game is similar to Warzone’s previous troubles with invisible skins, as demonstrated by streamer BennyCentral, in a short clipping on his Twitter handle.

The only aspect of the Awoken skin that remains is its distinctive glowing mask, requiring opponent players to aim at a target the size of Crash Bandicoot’s Aku Aku mask from afar. Thankfully, due to the hefty cost of the Awoken skin that one needs to acquire through the Pacific-themed Battle Pass, the vulnerability is unlikely to propagate as far as previous Warzone exploits.
To unlock the skin at level 100 through normal gameplay progression, you’ll need a lot of time, a constraint that most players might not feel like investing. You can also purchase your way to the skin, but this can get pricey quickly. It might cost anything from $50 to $120 to skip to level 100, depending on how far you’ve progressed on the Season 1 battle pass. However, buying the Francis Awoken operator skin solely for this exploit is a bad idea. Raven Software is aware of the invisibility flaw (albeit it isn’t yet reported on Warzone’s issue tracker as of yet), and it will most likely be addressed in a future version.
Normally, Raven would disable a bugged skin like this as soon as it became a problem, but due to the developers’ Christmas break, patches and studio contact have delayed. Meanwhile, audio and texture streaming flaws that came with the Caldera map are still affecting Warzone gamers (primarily on console versions). The current situation of Warzone coincides with an ongoing Activision Blizzard strike, which began after 12 QA testers (the department in charge of discovering exploits and flaws) were laid off from Raven last month.
