Pre-orders for the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 are now available, offering a range of exciting bonuses, including exclusive operator skins. Among these sought-after unlocks is Reznov, a legendary character from the Black Ops series` history, who can be immediately used as a playable operator in both Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Additionally, players can undertake recently introduced in-game challenges to earn extra cosmetic variants for Reznov. This comprehensive guide will detail the most efficient methods to obtain these coveted skins.
How to Unlock Reznov in Black Ops 6 and Warzone
Viktor Reznov, a recognizable figure within the Call of Duty universe, is granted as a pre-order bonus operator, a similar incentive to last year`s Frank Woods bonus for Black Ops 6. To gain access to Reznov and a host of other pre-order content, simply pre-order any digital edition of Black Ops 7 or subscribe to specific Game Pass plans.
Pre-ordering the game will instantly unlock Reznov as a playable operator for immediate deployment in Black Ops 6 and Warzone, initially equipped with the `SOG Reznov` operator skin. This content will seamlessly transfer and become fully usable in Black Ops 7 upon its official release.
How to Unlock Additional Reznov Operator Skins
Beyond the initial pre-order reward, two more distinct Reznov operator skins will become available for players to earn through dedicated in-game challenges within Black Ops 6 and Warzone. It is expected that these challenges will become instantly accessible in your game once your pre-order is confirmed.
Through these in-game challenges, players can acquire the `Stalingrad Reznov` and `Memory Reznov` operator skins. Based on patterns from previous releases, such as the additional skins for Frank Woods, it is highly probable that these challenges will primarily involve accumulating experience points (XP), with anticipated milestones at 100,000 XP and 200,000 XP respectively.
To maximize XP gain efficiently in Black Ops 6, focusing on objective-based game modes such as Kill Confirmed or Domination is strongly recommended, as these modes consistently yield higher scores. Effectively utilizing support killstreaks like UAVs and Counter-UAVs will also significantly boost your overall score and experience. In Warzone, modes like Plunder are particularly effective for XP farming, and diligently completing as many in-game contracts as possible is crucial for rapid progression.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is set to launch on November 14, and will be available across a wide range of platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. Further comprehensive details about Black Ops 7, including insights gathered prior to Gamescom, have been made available in various previews.
