📅 Black Ops 7 Beta Dates and Access

The beta will be split into two phases:

• Early Access Beta (October 2–4, 10 AM PT): Available for players who pre-ordered or are subscribed to select Xbox Game Pass tiers on console or PC.
• Open Beta (October 5–8, 10 AM PT): Available to everyone on all supported platforms.

You’ll be able to download the beta on PlayStation, Xbox, Battle.net, or Steam.

👉 Important for PC players: Black Ops 7 requires TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled. If you haven’t configured these, check out our step-by-step guide to preparing your PC before launch.

Progression and Carryover in the Beta

Player progression is shared across Multiplayer and Zombies Survival. Here’s how leveling works:

• Early Access Level Cap: 20
• Open Beta Level Cap: 30

At Level 4, you’ll unlock Custom Loadouts, allowing you to fine-tune weapons and gear. Daily Challenges in the lobby also offer bonus XP, making them a quick way to climb levels.

All rewards you unlock will carry over to your Black Ops 7 account at launch.

🏆 Black Ops 7 Beta Rewards: Full List

Here are the cosmetic rewards you can unlock and the levels required:

⚡ Note: These cosmetics are available during the beta once you hit their milestone and will automatically transfer to your inventory at launch.

How to Unlock Rewards Quickly

Here are the most efficient ways to level up:

1. Play both modes – XP from Multiplayer and Zombies Survival count toward the same progression track.
2. Complete Daily Challenges – Found in the lobby, these give reliable XP boosts.
3. Use the Training Course – A great way to master Omnimovement, practice weapons, and earn early XP.

Bonus: Claim Early Access via Twitch Drops

Didn’t pre-order? You may still secure Early Access if you watched the CoD Next broadcast with Twitch Drops enabled.

Steps:

1. Link your Activision and Twitch accounts.
2. Claim rewards in your Twitch Drops inventory after one hour of viewing.
3. Redeem your code on the official redemption page and download the platform-specific client.

👉 If you missed Twitch Drops, don’t worry—you can still play during the Open Beta window without a code.

What Carries Into Launch

Only the nine cosmetics listed above (emblems, stickers, weapon charms, operator skins, etc.) will transfer to the full game. Gameplay stats, weapons, and additional progression will reset at launch.

If you want to earn everything, plan enough time to reach Level 30 before the beta closes.

Conclusion

The Black Ops 7 beta is more than just a sneak peek—it’s your chance to unlock exclusive rewards, test new mechanics, and prepare for launch. Whether you’re chasing operator skins, mastering Omnimovement, or grinding for the M15 Mod 0 blueprint, progression is fast, rewarding, and carries forward into the full game. So gear up, set your schedules, and make the most of your beta time.
