A lot of Call of Duty: Vanguard players were quite excited for the upcoming weapon skins lately. Especially the “Bioluminescent” skins were indeed beautiful during the announcement and the showcase, but things changed quickly when players put their hands on them.

The Bioluminescence MP40 Legendary Blueprint is part of the Blue Thunder bundle Raven Software added to the game in the most recent Vanguard update. Visuals of the blueprint demonstrated some bioluminescent effects which produced a very artistic and natural effect that looked really nice. Moreover, it was supposed to fire cyan-colored tracers.

Reality was very, very different. Players who bought the bundle saw just some dark blue skin instead of the high contrast and bioluminescent skin compared to the visuals. Also the tracer rounds’ color was not cyan. The bundle costs a total of 1,800 COD Points, or around $20. It also includes the Flame Painted Blueprint for the NZ-41, the Valor’s Reward charm, the Time to Die and Riding the Storm calling cards, the Lightning Strike and Lightning in the Sky emblems, and the Warhead spray.

Players are expressing a serious disappointment on the skins, and Raven Software is yet to answer for now.
