'Groot' Skin in Modern Warfare 3 to be Temporarily Disabled and Nerfed

Sledgehammer Games Responds to Player Backlash Over 'Pay-to-Win' Gaia Skin

The Gaia skin, also known as the 'Groot' skin, in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is set to be temporarily disabled and nerfed due to player backlash.
The skin, which was introduced as part of the game's season 6 battle pass, is made of see-through gaps and woody, autumnal hues, making it nearly invisible in some areas on certain maps.
Players have criticized the skin as a 'pay-to-win' item as it provides a significant advantage in the game due to its camouflage properties.
Sledgehammer Games, the developer of Modern Warfare 3, announced the changes to the skin during a recent AMA on Reddit.
While the skin is still equippable at the time of the articles' publication, it is expected to be removed entirely soon and reworked to be less transparent.
