Most battle royale games have in-game stores that allow you to purchase items and customize your profile or weapons. In Call of Duty<\/em> multiplayer and Warzone<\/em>, you can purchase bundles containing operator skins,<\/a> weapon blueprints, calling cards, emblems, and much more. Call of Duty<\/em> has even featured crossovers with franchises such as Godzilla vs King Kong and an upcoming Terminator crossover. With Season Four Reloaded,<\/a> even more skins were revealed, but one has caused some controversy. The Floof Fury skin is under fire, as an artist has accused Activision of plagiarizing their work.<\/p>\n

The artist known as Saillin first posted the concept skin to ArtStation<\/a> back in December 2019. Recently, Staillin took to Twitter to identify the similarities<\/a> between their work and the Warzone<\/em> skin. It\u2019s safe to say that there are a lot of similarities.<\/p>\n

Call of Duty: Warzone<\/em> Floof Fury skin vs original art<\/h2>\n

Upon first glance, the most noticeable similarity is that the Warzone<\/em> Floof Fury operator skin is also a dog. However, if you take a closer look there are even more features that look to be the same. This includes the satchel bag on the hip and a scarf around the neck. Even the color scheme of the skin closely resembles Saillin\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

Understandably, the artist wasn\u2019t happy to see their work allegedly plagiarized by Activision. They note that they are a Call of Duty<\/em> player themselves and that they reached out to Activision for a response. Since then, Saillin has updated the tweet<\/a> to say that they have been contacted by Activision, and they hope to have a result soon.<\/p>\n

Call of Duty<\/em> fans were quick to show support for the artist and join the call for Activision to resolve the situation. Time will tell if the upcoming Warzone<\/em> Floof Fury skin ends up releasing.<\/p>\n

Activision has contacted me, and I hope to have a result as soon as possible. Thank you for your concern. https:\/\/t.co\/cOwlXKdtFt<\/a><\/p>\n
