Call of Duty NEXT is just around the corner, and players can earn some exclusive Black Ops 6 loot just for tuning in!
It’s that time of year again, as Activision prepares to give fans a sneak peek of what’s to come in its upcoming game.
For those unaware, COD NEXT is an annual celebration of Call of Duty, with content creators being invited to stream the newest games in the franchise.
This year, COD NEXT will take place on August 28, 2024, and is set to showcase Black Ops 6 Multiplayer, Warzone integration, and the second Zombies map: Liberty Falls.
How to Get Stream Rewards
Activision is giving all users a chance to earn exclusive Black Ops 6 gear, including an in-game Blueprint, Weapon Charm, Emblem, and Calling Card, just for watching Call of Duty NEXT 2024 live.
To earn the rewards, players must ensure their Activision accounts are linked to YouTube or Twitch and then watch Call of Duty NEXT using the linked account.

Then, don’t miss the COD NEXT stream, which kicks off on the official Call of Duty channels on August 28, 2024, at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM BST.
COD NEXT Rewards
Here are all the rewards up for grabs during the COD NEXT stream:
- The Redactor – Weapon Blueprint
- Tri Harder – Weapon Charm
- Mine – Emblem
- Earning Stripes – Calling Card
All rewards are available to use in both Black Ops 6 and Warzone. However, don’t expect them to show up in MW3.

These items will not be available in the Black Ops 6 Beta, at least judging by last year’s COD NEXT rewards. Instead, they’re most likely to only appear when Black Ops 6 officially arrives on October 25, 2024.
We’ll update this article if Activision confirms exactly when the rewards will drop.
