Pre-orders for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 are now available, offering a range of bonuses, including exclusive operator skins. One significant bonus is Viktor Reznov, a beloved character from previous Black Ops installments, who becomes a playable operator in both Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Additionally, players can undertake recently introduced in-game challenges to unlock more unique skin variations for Reznov. This comprehensive guide will detail the most efficient ways to acquire them.
Acquiring Reznov in Black Ops 6 and Warzone
Similar to Frank Woods` bonus last year for Black Ops 6, Viktor Reznov is offered as a pre-order incentive for the upcoming title. To obtain him, players need to pre-order any digital version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 or be subscribed to specific Game Pass tiers. This grants immediate access to Reznov along with other pre-order benefits.
Pre-ordering makes Reznov immediately available as a playable operator in Black Ops 6 and Warzone, initially with the `SOG Reznov` skin. This content will also be fully accessible in Black Ops 7 upon its release, ensuring continuity for players.
Obtaining Additional Reznov Operator Skins
Beyond the base `SOG Reznov` skin, two extra operator variants for Reznov can be earned by completing specific in-game challenges within Black Ops 6 and Warzone. These challenges should become visible in your game instantly after your pre-order is confirmed, allowing you to begin working towards them right away.
Successfully completing these challenges will reward you with the `Stalingrad Reznov` and `Memory Reznov` operator skins. Based on how Frank Woods` additional skins were unlocked, it`s widely anticipated that these will be XP-based challenges, requiring milestones of 100,000 XP and 200,000 XP respectively to unlock each variant.
To accelerate your XP gain in Black Ops 6, focus on objective-based modes such as Kill Confirmed or Domination to maximize your score and earn experience efficiently. Utilizing support killstreaks like UAVs and Counter-UAVs can further boost your points significantly. In Warzone, engaging in modes like Plunder and diligently completing as many contracts as possible are highly effective ways to accumulate the necessary XP.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is scheduled for global release 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.
