The first Call of Duty: Black Ops game came out almost 15 years ago. Time flies when you’re redacting intel. But it’s time to celebrate it in Black Ops 6 with a new limited-time, free event.
The Black Ops Tribute event in BO6 has a bunch of new rewards to unlock, including the anticipated John Black Ops operator skin, Nail Gun weapon, and Thermite lethal for Warzone, along with many other cosmetics that pay tribute to moments from the franchise’s past.
Here’s everything you can get for free as part of the Black Ops Tribute event in BO6.
Image via Activision Black Ops Tribute is an XP event, meaning players only need to gain XP to unlock the rewards at certain intervals. While some of the rewards require BO6 ownership to unlock, all players need to do is play the game to unlock them.
Here are all of the rewards in the Black Ops Tribute event in BO6 and Warzone.

Once all of the above rewards are unlocked, you gain access to the two Mastery rewards for the event: the Nail Gun special secondary weapon and John Black Ops operator skin. Make sure you claim all the other rewards and that all XP thresholds have been passed. Just use up those double XP tokens you’ve been accumulating, and you should get them all done quickly.
Image via Activision “Stick it to them with this handy tool configured with a magazine of 15 nails that fires at full auto,” Activision said of the Nail Gun, another weapon from Warzone’s past. “The damage drops off quickly after 25 meters and performs best up close. The Nail Gun’s low muzzle velocity can make it difficult to land shots against fast moving targets, so get them in your sights and unload before they know what hit them.”
The Nail Gun had its reign in Verdansk as an annoying sidearm to use, and it’s back once more with its own unlockable camos once you grab it for free via the event. It also includes Mastery Badges and 30 levels of progression.
If you miss it in the event, it can later be unlocked as an Armory Unlock in BO6, so don’t worry if you miss out. Black Ops Tribute begins on April 17 and will run until May 1 in BO6 and Warzone.
