🚨 Did Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Just Straight-Up Copy High on Life? Let’s Talk.

  2. Flashback: What’s High on Life, Anyway?
  3. Why Are Fans So Mad?
  4. So, What’s Next?
  5. ❓ FAQ – Black Ops 6 Weapon Controversy

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is no stranger to controversy — but this time, it might've crossed the line. Gamers are now calling out Activision for allegedly ripping off one of the weirdest and most talked-about games of 2022: High on Life. And yeah, it’s not just a vibe — the new weapon skin looks way too familiar.

Let’s break down the drama, the skin, and why the internet is losing its mind over this.

What’s the Deal with the “Flameware” Weapon Skin?

During the recent High Art event in Black Ops 6, players noticed something strange. Alongside cannabis-themed bundles and a Seth Rogen operator (yeah, really), a new weapon blueprint dropped — the Flameware. But here’s the kicker: it features a cartoonish, goofy face right on the weapon, almost identical to the iconic talking guns from High on Life.

And people noticed — fast.

One Redditor put it bluntly:

“They have less than zero shame. They literally rip off Apex and Fortnite characters like no one’s gonna notice.”

The resemblance is uncanny, and fans are split between laughing it off and calling out blatant design theft.

Flashback: What’s High on Life, Anyway?

High on Life is a colorful, chaotic first-person shooter from Squanch Games (co-founded by Rick & Morty’s Justin Roiland). It gained massive attention in 2022 thanks to its unique guns — each one literally talks, complete with an alien face embedded in the weapon.

Love it or hate it, the game had a bold identity. So when a Call of Duty skin rolls in with that exact same energy? Yeah… people talk.

Why Are Fans So Mad?

This isn’t the first time Black Ops 6 has raised eyebrows:

  • ❌ AI-generated artwork in loading screens

  • ❌ Unusable bundles and no refunds

  • ❌ Overuse of IPs and pop culture gimmicks

The “Flameware” skin is just the latest spark in a pile of smoldering gamer frustration. Instead of pushing the franchise forward, critics say Activision is leaning too hard on trends and other people's ideas.

So, What’s Next?

As of now, Activision hasn’t responded to the backlash — but the community isn’t staying quiet. Whether you think it’s a cheeky homage or a copy-paste job, one thing’s for sure: originality in CoD seems to be under fire.

❓ FAQ – Black Ops 6 Weapon Controversy

What is the weapon skin in Black Ops 6 that's causing backlash?
It’s called “Flameware,” and it resembles the alien-faced guns from High on Life.

Many feel it’s a blatant rip-off and yet another example of unoriginal design in Black Ops 6.

Not yet — no official statement has been made.
Is this the first time Black Ops 6 has been criticized?
Nope. From AI art to broken bundles, it’s had several controversies already.
