With Battlefield 6‘s Season 1 update, developer Battlefield Studios has addressed complaints surrounding a promotional skin often associated with Monster Energy drinks because of its color scheme. The skin, officially called System Override, is actually exclusive to those who bought specific Razer products during a BF6 promotion, but quickly became the game’s most infamous outfit.
The bright green color of the System Override skin has since been toned down with the beginning of Battlefield 6 Season 1. BattlefieldNET has shared comparison screenshots, showing that the original neon green, which is indeed reminiscent of Monster Energy’s signature colors, is now a much darker shade after the update. System Override now sports a very deep green, which does not clash as much with BF6‘s general military aesthetic.
Battlefield 6 System Override Skin Has Colors Changed After Being Ridiculed
Farewell, Monster Energy Skin
The System Override skin quickly became the laughingstock of Battlefield 6 after its record-breaking release. Wacky skins have become a point of contention in live-service games – Call of Duty is notorious for clashing character designs, like the Beavis and Butt-Head skins or the one that lets you play as a shark. Battlefield 6 so far appears committed to a relatively realistic aesthetic, though there have been a couple of exceptions.
System Override became the most often ridiculed, often referred to as a Monster Energy skin, or, as seen in ... from Redditor SagnolThGangster above, compared to things like the Kick Formula 1 livery. Similar concerns cropped up with a Season 1 skin before it was even released. Called Wicked Grin, the skin features a vibrant blue camouflage pattern that will clearly stick out among the game’s other outfits.
Battlefield 6 Is A Work-In-Progress, Including Its Skins
Feedback Is Being Considered
The System Override skin undergoing these changes with the Season 1 update is proof that player feedback is being taken into account for Battlefield 6. Another example is the egregious overexposure of light when looking out of windows in-game, which has also been toned down significantly in the new update. While the slow introduction of such skins is cause for concern, backlash being taken seriously and subsequently addressed is a good sign.
Battlefield 6 is clearly not only a work-in-progress, but is in it for the long haul. Season 1 comes a matter of weeks after the game’s release, bringing with it the free-to-play battle royale mode, REDSEC. Only time will tell if more unpopular skins are inbound, but the “Monster Energy” skin being rectified so quickly is a nice indicator that there’s at least some degree to which the community can help shape the future of Battlefield 6.
