Warzone Players Can Unlock a Free Weapon Blueprint, But There’s a Catch

Summary

Activision enables Twitch Drops for Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3.
Warzone fans can unlock new rewards by watching participating Twitch streamers.
Viewers can redeem a double XP token at 2 hours, a double weapon XP token at 4 hours, and the Green Machine weapon blueprint for the XMG at 6 hours.

Activision has brought back Twitch Drops for Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3, allowing fans to earn free in-game rewards such as double XP tokens and a new weapon blueprint. The newest season of Call of Duty: Warzone kicked off on April 3 after some lengthy server downtime, bringing back the game’s very first Battle Royale map as well as some iconic weapons from 2019’s Modern Warfare.

While Season 3 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 kicked off on April 2, Warzone fans were left waiting an extra 24 hours for the new season to begin as Activision took the game’s servers offline in preparation for Verdansk’s return. The beloved Battle Royale map has been absent for almost three and a half years, but Activision has finally brought Verdansk back with a fresh lick of paint. Although the map is still identical to its 2020 version, developer Beenox has rebuilt Verdansk from the ground up, featuring improved lighting, textures, and more complex and intricate foliage. Fans will also find more cover in areas of the map that were open, allowing for easier rotations between different points of interest.

Call of Duty Addresses Shadow Bans, Spam Reporting

Before the launch of Season 03, the Call of Duty development team posts an update about how shadow bans and spam reporting are handled.

To celebrate the return of Verdansk in Call of Duty: Warzone, Activision is once again enabling Twitch Drops with double XP tokens and a new weapon blueprint up for grabs. From April 3 until April 30, viewers can check out participating live streams to earn a double XP token, a double weapon XP token, and a new Green Machine weapon blueprint for the XMG. To obtain all of the new rewards up for grabs, players will need to watch a total of 6 hours of participating Warzone Twitch streams. After watching for 2 hours, players will be rewarded with a double XP token, followed by a double weapon XP token at 4 hours and a weapon blueprint at 6 hours.

How To Unlock Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3 Twitch Drops

Connect Activision and Twitch accounts via the Account Linking setting on your Call of Duty profile.
Visit a participating Warzone stream (most streamers will have “drops enabled” in their stream title).
Watch for two, four, or six hours to earn rewards.
Visit the “Drops and Rewards” section on your Twitch profile to claim the rewards.

Activision isn’t just celebrating Verdansk’s return with Twitch Drops either. Call of Duty: Warzone fans also have a new code to redeem via the Call of Duty website that will bag them a “Verdansk is back” Calling Card and 30 minutes of double weapon XP. Fans looking to redeem the rewards can simply visit callofduty.com/redeem, sign in, and enter the code: KYHPCVYSNP6HY. The free calling card and double weapon XP token will then be added to the player’s account and ready to use in-game.

Alongside the return of Verdansk, Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3 also features a brand-new Battle Pass with plenty of new cosmetic items, weapon blueprints, operator skins, and more up for grabs. The Battle Pass also includes some returning weapons from the 2019 reboot of Modern Warfare, including the CR-56 AMAX, HDR Sniper Rifle, and the Grau 5.56 conversion kit for the SWAT 5.56. Fans can also obtain the iconic Kilo 141 by simply logging into Call of Duty: Warzone. The weapon will be automatically added to the player’s account upon sign-in.
