The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 beta is out in the wild, giving players a juicy early taste of the action-packed multiplayer suite, and even a return to Zombies. Whether you’ve jumped in through early access or waited for the open beta launch on October 5, there’s a stash of exclusive in-game rewards waiting to be unlocked. And guess what? Most of them are just a few levels away.
With the level cap officially bumped up from 20 to 30, players now have access to all time-limited beta rewards. Leveling up may take some grind, but every minute you put in could net you gear that’ll transfer into the full game when it launches. Let’s break down exactly what’s on offer, and how to get your hands on it all before the beta wraps up.
All Black Ops 7 Beta Rewards (and how to unlock them)
Every item listed below unlocks just by playing the beta and hitting specific level milestones. No convoluted unlocks here: well, except maybe a few twists involving pre-orders and subscriptions we’ll get to in a bit.
- Beta Player Emblem – Unlocks at Level 2
- Gun Flex Emote – Unlocks at Level 6
- Beta Neon Sticker – Unlocks at Level 11
- Beta Beasts Weapon Charm – Unlocks at Level 15
- Beta Maverick Wei Lin Operator Skin – Unlocks at Level 20
- Beta Leader Falkner Operator Skin – Also unlocks at Level 20, but with a catch (read below)
- Beta Survivor Loading Screen – Unlocks at Level 23
- Beta Conqueror Calling Card – Unlocks at Level 27
- Beta Legend Weapon Blueprint (M15 Mod 0) – Unlocks at Level 30
What’s the deal with the Falkner Skin?
So here’s the twist: the Beta Leader Falkner skin is officially listed as requiring either a pre-order or access via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. That’s the official line … but some players, including this author, managed to unlock Falkner simply by joining the early access beta using Game Pass Ultimate, with no pre-order in sight.
It’s unclear if other beta participants who entered via access codes from third-party promos can grab this skin too. If you’ve had luck unlocking Falkner another way, definitely drop it in the comments and let the community know!
Dark Ops Challenges: Hidden rewards to hunt down
True to tradition, Black Ops 7 includes a couple of stealthy Dark Ops challenges during its beta phase. These aren’t listed upfront, and completing them scores exclusive calling cards you can flaunt in the full game, and trust me, they’re worth the extra effort.
Here’s what we know so far:
- Best of the First – Earned by racking up 1,000 multiplayer eliminations during the beta.
- Tip of the Spear – Complete this by surviving up to round 50 in a single Zombies Survival match.
Rumors have swirled about a third hidden challenge tied to hitting the new level 30 cap. But after grinding all the way there — spoiler alert — it looks like nothing special triggers. So for now, it’s just these two confirmed Dark Ops objectives.\n\n
Still time to finish Zombies Mode Challenges
Good news for undead addicts: Activision has extended Zombies Survival mode to last until October 8. That gives you a bit more breathing room to lock in the Tip of the Spear challenge if you’re still fighting through the horde.
Honestly, whether you’re in for the camos, the emotes, or those slick operator skins, this year’s beta offers some tantalizing unlocks to bring into launch day. Just don’t wait too long: the beta (along with your opportunity to snag these exclusives) wraps up soon.
Wrap-Up: Max that level bar!
With the grind capped at level 30, it’s now or never if you want to own every piece of beta-exclusive content in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Whether you’re all about visual flex or just want to tick off every box before launch, now’s the time to dive in and clean house.
We’ll keep tracking if any new secrets erupt before the beta ends, especially around those potential hidden objectives. Until then, grab your weapons, flex that emote, and grind out the glory.
