Call of Duty is throwing the ultimate party for the 15th anniversary of the Black Ops series — and you’re on the guest list. From April 17 to May 1, dive into the Black Ops Tribute Event across Black Ops 6 and Warzone and earn a massive stack of free rewards. No cryptic puzzles, no secret missions — just pure XP grinding. Stack up the points and unlock powerful weapons, epic cosmetics, and the exclusive John Black Ops Operator Skin.
This event is loaded with legendary content, celebrating iconic gear and gameplay from across Black Ops history. Here’s what’s waiting for you:
Exclusive Weapon Unlocks: Wield the Nail Gun, conquer the field with the Death Machine Scorestreak, and equip the Steer Melee Blueprint.
Tactical Rewards: Get your hands on Thermite, the Close Shave Perk (BO6 exclusive), and powerful Gobblegums like On the House and Crate Power (for BO6 owners).
Cosmetic Upgrades: Flex with the “Blazing Win” Calling Card, the “Intimidation Tactics” Sticker, and much more.
Grind enough XP — 617,000 total — and you’ll unlock everything, including the rare and limited-time John Black Ops Operator Skin.
This event is short and intense — here’s how to crush it fast:
Multiplayer (BO6): Skip solo TDM. Play Domination, Hardpoint, or other objective-focused modes for max XP.
Zombies Mode: Don’t overstay! Peak XP gain usually happens by rounds 16–21. Complete SAM Trials for bonus XP.
Warzone: Choose fast-paced modes like Plunder or Resurgence. Stay with your squad, rack up kills, and play the objective.
Boost It: Activate Double XP tokens whenever you can for that extra edge.
This isn’t your average event — most of these rewards will never return. While the Nail Gun and Death Machine may become unlockable later, everything else is time-locked. Miss it, and it’s gone for good.
Celebrate 15 years of Black Ops greatness. Gear up, level up, and make history.
The grind starts now. Don’t let it slip away.
