Adjustments to improve the visibility of the Gaia Operator Skins are underway. Until these changes can be released to all players, these items will be unavailable to equip in MWIII.
Dev Post
In the November 30 Update, the Gaia skins have been disabled and players cannot equip it for the time being. This is in preparation for the visibility fix that is coming soon.
In order to unlock the Gaia or Groot Operator Skin, players will need to progress the Season 6 Battle Pass to Sector F11. If you have the BlackCell offering of the Battle Pass, you can easily reach this sector since you'll be starting from the BlackCell Sector beside F11 and F20.
Unfortunately, you have to purchase the Premium Battle Pass in order to get the Gaia skin. It will not be unlockable for players who are only in the free track of the Season 6 Battle Pass. A premium battle pass will set you back 1,100 COD Points ($9.99) while the BlackCell Battle Pass is priced at $29.99.
If you're looking to get the Gaia Skin before Season 6 ends, then you will have until December 5, 2023 to get it. Make sure to play and complete challenges in either MW3, Warzone 2.0, or MW2 to earn enough Battle Pass XP to reach Sector F11.

The Gaia or Groot Skin (as some have taken to calling it) is an Operator skin for the MW2 Operator, Nova. It has been the center of controversy after players have rightfully pointed out that the skin blends in with the map environments of both MW3 and Warzone 2.0.
Naturally, this gave owners of the skin an unfair advantage against other players since they can be easily missed when playing foliage-heavy maps like Wasteland or Estate.
If you purchase the $29.99 BlackCell Pass for Season 6, you will also get the Gaia BlackCell variant of the skin. Compared to the Gaia, this variant has a much darker hue and is even more difficult to spot than the original.
The BlackCell variant rose to notoriety back during the special Season 6 Halloween event called The Haunting for Warzone 2.0. Since Al Mazrah was turned into a night map for the event, this skin was used extensively to get the jump on players unaware of the its existence.
