Welcome to the state of gaming in 2025 my friend. You are about 5 years or so behind, but this is how it is has been and it is only getting worse. Back in the original warzone days (2020) they started dropping skins that almost blended in completely with the map. Some skins also came with unique weapons. And if you buy the battle pass + skips, you have access to all the things on day 1 that people will be grinding a month for. Same ideology is being applied to every game that includes customization and item stats.
