Call of Duty is throwing a massive 15th-anniversary bash for the legendary Black Ops series, and you're invited. From April 17th to May 1st, the Black Ops Tribute event floods Black Ops 6 and Warzone with a tidal wave of free gear. Forget complex ciphers or hidden objectives – your mission is brutally simple: earn XP. Rack it up, and watch the rewards roll in, including heavy hitters like the Nail Gun and a slick new John Black Ops Operator skin. It's time to grind.
This isn't just about stickers and sprays (though you'll get those too, like the "Intimidation Tactics" sticker). As your XP climbs, you'll unlock serious hardware and perks. We're talking tactical advantages like Thermite and the Close Shave Perk (a BO6 exclusive treat). Feeling nostalgic? Grab Gobblegums like "On the House" and "Crate Power" if you own the main game. Push towards the peak, and you'll secure killer cosmetics like the "Blazing Win" calling card and the "Steer" melee blueprint. The real treasures, however, are gated by dedication. Obliterate the main reward track to earn the infamous Nail Gun, ready to pepper your foes. For the truly committed Black Ops 6 owners who conquer the entire 617,000 XP mountain, the ultimate prize awaits: the exclusive John Black Ops Operator skin. Remember, while Warzone players get a solid taste of the action, the full buffet, including that coveted Operator and the mighty Death Machine Scorestreak, requires owning Black Ops 6.
You've got a tight two-week window (April 17 - May 1) to hoard this anniversary loot before most of it vanishes forever. Time is XP, so make every second count. In Black Ops 6 Multiplayer, ditch the lone wolf routine in TDM and dive into objective modes like Domination or Hardpoint – playing the objective is an XP goldmine. Be smart about map rotation; sometimes the fastest-paced maps have throttled XP gains. Got Double XP tokens? Ignite them! In the eerie depths of Zombies, efficiency is paramount. High rounds look cool, but XP often peaks earlier – consider extracting around round 16-21 for maximum gain per minute, and smash those SAM Trials for extra juice. Warzone Operators aren't left out; chaotic modes like Plunder or Resurgence generally pump out more XP than the tense survival of standard Battle Royale. Stick with your squad, rack up kills, and chase those wins. No matter your battleground, the goal is the same: relentless XP accumulation.
This event is a straight shot – no convoluted challenges, just pure XP earning across any mode. That means you need to bank over 600,000 XP if you want the bragging rights to every single reward, especially that John Black Ops operator. While the Nail Gun and Death Machine will eventually have alternate unlock methods if you miss the window, almost everything else is strictly limited-time. This is your chance to grab a piece of Black Ops history, celebrate 15 years of iconic moments, and seriously beef up your inventory. The clock's ticking, Operator. Get in the fight and earn your tribute!
