Black Ops 6 Warzone Rivals Event Rewards

The Rivals event in Black Ops 6 and Warzone rewards players with a mix of free and premium items for completing specific in-game challenges. You earn rewards by accumulating XP, getting eliminations, and completing daily challenges across multiplayer, zombies, and Warzone. Below is the full list of rewards, how the event works, and tips to earn them faster.

What Is the Rivals Event?

The Rivals event is a limited-time in-game event in Black Ops 6 and Warzone that typically runs for two weeks. It focuses on competitive play—earning XP, getting eliminations, and completing daily challenges. The event is free for all players, but there is also a premium track (purchasable with COD Points) that adds extra rewards.

The event usually appears alongside a new season or mid-season update. It is separate from the Battle Pass, though it often overlaps with it. The event has its own reward screen accessible from the main menu, showing your progress and the next unlock.

All Rivals Event Rewards (Free Track)

The free track includes cosmetic items, emblems, calling cards, and sometimes a weapon blueprint. Based on the standard structure of previous events (like the “Shadow Siege” or “Haunting” events), the free rewards typically include:

• 5,000 XP – Rivals Emblem
• 15,000 XP – Rivals Calling Card
• 30,000 XP – Rivals Weapon Charm
• 50,000 XP – Rivals Sticker Pack
• 75,000 XP – Rivals Loading Screen
• 100,000 XP – Rivals Weapon Blueprint (e.g., a unique LMG or SMG blueprint)
• 150,000 XP – Rivals Operator Skin
• 200,000 XP – Rivals Mastery Camo or a special animated calling card

These are typical examples. The exact items and XP thresholds may change each time the event runs. Always check the in-game event tab for the current list.

Premium Track Rewards

If you purchase the premium track (usually 1,000–1,500 COD Points), you unlock a second set of rewards that are earned alongside the free ones. These often include:

• Additional weapon blueprints with tracer effects
• Operator skins with alternate colorways
• Vehicle skins for Warzone
• Extra XP tokens and COD Points refund

The premium track is optional. You can earn all free rewards without spending money. The premium track typically costs about 1,100 COD Points (roughly $10), but the price may vary.

How to Earn Rewards Faster

To maximize your XP during the event, focus on high-XP activities:

• Play Warzone Plunder – Plunder matches give high XP because you can complete contracts and collect cash. A good Plunder match can yield 20,000–30,000 XP.
• Complete Daily Challenges – Each day, you get 3 daily challenges that give bonus XP (usually 2,500–5,000 XP each). Do them every day.
• Use XP Tokens – Double XP tokens stack with event XP. Use them during long play sessions.
• Play Zombies – Zombies gives consistent XP per round. Reaching round 30 can give around 30,000 XP.
• Focus on Objectives – In multiplayer, playing the objective (capturing flags, holding hardpoints) gives more XP than kills alone.

Common Mistakes and Misconceptions

One common mistake is assuming that only eliminations count. In reality, the event tracks all XP earned, including match bonuses, challenges, and objective XP. So playing objective modes is often faster than Team Deathmatch.

Another misconception is that the event is only for Warzone. The event is shared across Black Ops 6 multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone. You can earn XP in any mode, and progress carries over.

Some players think the premium track is required to get the best rewards. That’s false—the free track includes a weapon blueprint and operator skin. The premium track adds extra cosmetics, not exclusive gameplay advantages.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the Rivals event last?

The Rivals event typically lasts two weeks (14 days). The exact start and end dates are announced in the game’s patch notes. Check the event tab in-game for the countdown timer.

Do rewards carry over to the next season?

No. Once the event ends, any unclaimed rewards are lost. You must earn the XP and claim the rewards before the event expires. However, items you do claim stay in your inventory permanently.

Can I earn rewards in private matches?

No. Private matches do not award XP, so they don’t count toward the event. You must play public matches in multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone.

Is the Rivals event free?

Yes, the event itself is free for all players. The free track is available to everyone. The premium track is an optional purchase that gives extra cosmetics.

What is the fastest way to get 200,000 XP?

Playing Warzone Plunder with a Double XP token is the fastest method. A good Plunder match can give 30,000–40,000 XP with a token. You can also complete daily challenges every day for bonus XP.

Do eliminations in Warzone count more than multiplayer?

Eliminations in Warzone give more XP per kill (around 500 XP) compared to multiplayer (100 XP). However, you get fewer kills per match in Warzone. The total XP per hour is similar across modes, so play what you enjoy.
