Preorders for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 are now available, offering a range of exciting bonuses, including exclusive operator skins. Among these sought-after rewards is Reznov, an iconic and classic character from the storied Black Ops series. He can be unlocked as a playable operator for immediate use in current Call of Duty titles, specifically Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Furthermore, players have the opportunity to complete newly released in-game challenges to acquire additional, unique Reznov skin variations. Below, we`ll provide a detailed guide on the most efficient ways to earn these coveted skins.
How to Unlock Reznov in Black Ops 7, Warzone, and Current CoD Titles
Call of Duty`s Viktor Reznov is offered as a premier preorder bonus operator, a similar incentive to how Frank Woods was provided last year. This means that by preordering any digital edition of Black Ops 7 or by subscribing to certain tiers of Game Pass, you will gain immediate access to a suite of exclusive preorder content, prominently featuring Reznov. Specifically, preordering will instantly unlock Reznov (with his distinctive `SOG Reznov` skin) for play in the current Black Ops 6 and Warzone ecosystems. This operator will seamlessly carry over and become fully usable within Black Ops 7 itself upon its official launch.
How to Unlock Additional Reznov Operator Skins
Beyond the initial preorder bonus, two more distinctive Reznov operator skins are obtainable by completing dedicated in-game challenges within Black Ops 6 and Warzone. These challenges are designed to become instantly visible and accessible in your game as soon as your preorder for Black Ops 7 is confirmed. Successfully completing them will allow you to unlock the `Stalingrad Reznov` and `Memory Reznov` operator skins. Based on patterns from previous additional skin releases, such as those for Frank Woods, these challenges are highly likely to be experience point (XP) based, with typical milestones set at 100,000 XP and 200,000 XP respectively.
Tips for Rapid XP Accumulation
To accelerate your XP gain in Black Ops 6, we recommend focusing on objective-based game modes like `Kill Confirmed` or `Domination,` where actively contributing to objectives rapidly boosts your score. Equipping and effectively utilizing support streaks, such as UAVs and Counter-UAVs, also significantly contributes to your overall points and XP. For players looking to maximize XP in Warzone, modes like `Plunder` are particularly beneficial for their high-action, less restrictive gameplay. Additionally, prioritize completing as many contracts as possible within Warzone matches, as these offer substantial XP rewards.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is officially set to launch on November 14, becoming available across multiple platforms including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
