Call of Duty: Warzone is one of the biggest battle royale games at the moment. Fans of the franchise praise the game’s adaptive nature and the innovation of developers to integrate modern ideas in a genre that can be quite limiting to add some creativity.

The game has taken on some features from other live-service titles by implementing cosmetic items that can be used as a reward and sometimes a tactical advantage.

Call Of Duty: Warzone Players Are Upset About a Leaked Season 1 Cosmetic Item

The only thing that a gaming community hates is if a developer is holding out on them. The animated Windfall camo has been on the radar of every player as soon as it leaked way back in Season 1, and there has been no news about it since then. Fans are pointing out the possibility of corporate greed as Infinity Ward is looking for ways to sell and monetize it.

The resurgence of the animated Windfall camo is making its rounds on social media, and fans are still waiting for the game to release.

There are several reasons why players want to get their hands on camos or other cosmetic items. They can serve as markers or trophies that players can boast of in matches, giving them bragging rights will definitely stir up some tension, which will encourage players to grind as hard as possible so they can achieve it on their own. They also have some rare tactical advantages that can be useful in a fight.

One fan even noted that the team is probably just finding a way to sell it. This wouldn’t necessarily be the first time that something like this has happened.

Perhaps there is a technical reason behind the omission of the Windfall skin from previous seasons, Infinity Ward could be pushing their engine a little too hard if they add a rare camo or item that could cause issues or even crash a game. Call of Duty and its updates can break items by making them overpowered or decreasing their efficiency. It is starting to show its age and requires a significant overhaul.

Call of Duty: Warzone Players Are Speculating That The Leaked Camo Will Appear As Part Of A Bundle

Call of Duty: Warzone can't release a camo but constantly breaks their weapons with each update.

Despite not having any solid proof of it ever being released, this does paint the game in a very negative light. Live service games need fresh content regularly to keep their players inclined and interested, holding out on them can rattle cages and anger their community. If they can nerf weapons like the throwing knives for the sake of balance and immersion with each patch, then they should figure out a way to get the Windfall camo into the hands of players.

There is a strong possibility that the Windfall camo could roll out as part of a bundle, which means fans will have to pay rather than earn the cosmetic item in-game, which can be a pain for some. Call of Duty: Warzone has a devoted community that is constantly disappointed by the developers but is willing to wait and try whatever they have in store regardless of when and how they roll out.
