I’m glad I finally found a picture of this thing, because with all the angry mermaid skin threads on reddit, I immediately jumped to the worst case scenario. I mean, don’t get me wrong, this is absolutely horrendous but… it could have been so much worse. :s

It may provide no tactical advantage, but a cool looking gun may be sold at auction later for a good price. Naked snake thought me this.

Yea this game is turning into a complete joke and DICE seems fine with it. Wtf is happened with DICE…

Community: Asking for a more authentic experience  
DICE: Here have a mermaid skin

Community: Less bipod campers  
DICE: Here another 1 shot AT rifle

Community: More maps?  
DICE: Here have your 20th knife and 20th facepaint

Community: New factions?  
DICE: Here have US and French customization on the British faction.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING DICE? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL THIS GAME?

A mermaid skin, is that is a **[Removed - CM]** joke?  
I really hope a small to moderate fire breaks out at the DICE headquarters and they’re unable to release this anymore. It’ll be the only way to stop the madness

Obviously I don’t wouldn’t want anyone to get injured… just for the computers and white boards or wherever they generate their stupid ideas from to go up in flames

Not surprised, the art direction taken in this game has been inconsistent and often bizarre. Look at the weird Phantom of the Opera Elite for instance.

It would appear that the various artists in the DICE art department have differing ideas on what looks cool in a WW2 game, it’s identity is schizophrenic.

I’m not expecting realism now as I can see they never went for it in the first place, but the mermaid weapon skin will hopefully only be as real as a real mermaid and never be seen again.

</div>

The most surprising thing about this is that I am not feeling surprised anymore…  
I do not really mind it but I really wanted the budget to focus on other aspects of the game that are in dire need

That’s the gun skin? Okay then

Next they’ll have all German soldiers tall with glowing ice blue eyes, who can destroy the undesirables with laser guns… \>🙂

LankRich Profanity to include alt spellings and asterisks to convey the same message is not allowed; keep it out of the forums.

After reading the title I honestly thought they had released a mermaid skin for soldiers. Something with a prosthetic tail so they could walk on land.  
But the sad thing is I wasn’t surprised.  
But I was relieved it’s just a weapon skin.
