The rumors were true and the Pay to Win LA Thieves CDL Operator in Warzone 2 has received a nerf in Season 1 Reloaded.
It seems that players can’t escape Pay-to-Win skins in Warzone. In the original Warzone, players had to deal with the Roze skin not once but twice.
Now in Warzone 2, it seems the LA Thieves CDL Operator has taken that mantle. But the dominant skin didn’t stick around for long.

In the Call of Duty Blog post for Season 1 Reloaded, the Warzone 2 LA Thieves CDL Operator Skin appeared to be wearing some new bright red straps.
Now that the update is finally here, we can confirm that the Pay to Win skin just got a major change, making it far more visible.

Now that the skin has been nerfed, it’s visible as clear as day, defeating the point for many who bought the cosmetic for an in-game advantage.
That said, the skin’s design is now far more in-line with the other CDL skins now, and looks pretty stylish with its new red highlights.
