Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players are raising eyebrows over a new battle pass skin that some say looks suspiciously like a design from High On Life, the quirky shooter from Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland. This isn’t the first time the community has voiced frustration about the game’s cosmetic choices, but this latest claim has sparked fresh debate.
Microtransactions have been part of the Call of Duty experience for years, evolving from map packs in earlier titles to a heavy focus on skins and weapon blueprints in recent seasons. While some players enjoy customizing their loadouts, many have expressed irritation that the developers seem more invested in pushing cosmetics than addressing gameplay issues.
In fact, numerous players have urged the developers to “read the room” and prioritize fixing bugs and balance problems over releasing new skins. Season 3 of Black Ops 6, especially its Reloaded update, has seen a surge in themed bundles—some centered around 4/20 culture—that haven’t exactly won over the community.
The latest controversy centers on the Flameware skin for the PP-919 SMG, part of the High Art battle pass. Reddit user Hour_Gas3538 pointed out that the skin looks like a direct copy of a weapon from High On Life.
These comparisons have fueled speculation about the originality of the design and the creative direction behind Black Ops 6’s cosmetics.
