There are two Black Ops 7 Twitch Drops beats tied to the beta: a one‑day campaign during CoD Next (September 30) that granted early access codes and cosmetics, and a separate Open Beta campaign running October 2–8 with a longer watch‑time ladder of in‑game rewards. Here’s what each campaign offered, how to set up your accounts, and exactly where to claim everything.

CoD Next (Sep 30): early access code and cosmetics

Watching the CoD Next broadcast for up to one hour granted cosmetics at short intervals and, at the one‑hour mark, an early access beta code. The code arrives in your Twitch notifications, not in your Drops inventory.

Watch time Reward
15 minutes CoD Next emblem
30 minutes CoD Next calling card
45 minutes BO7 weapon charm
1 hour Early access beta code

How to redeem your early access code:

  • Find the code in your Twitch notifications (it won’t appear in your Drops inventory).
  • Redeem it on the official Call of Duty code page at profile.callofduty.com/promotions/redeemCode/beta-partner, pick your platform and country.
  • You’ll receive a second, platform‑specific code to enter on PlayStation, Xbox, Battle.net, or Steam.

Note: If you watched the required time and didn’t see a notification during the show, codes may still roll out after the event window. Keep checking your Twitch notifications.

Open Beta drops (Oct 2–8): watch to earn cosmetics and a blueprint

The Open Beta campaign runs through October 8 at 12:59 PM ET. Watch eligible Black Ops 7 streams with Drops enabled to unlock rewards at each hour mark, up to four hours total.

Watch time Reward (Beta)
1 hour “Going Live!” emblem
2 hours “Beta Prepped” calling card
3 hours “Third Eye” weapon charm
4 hours “Helm Piercer” weapon blueprint

Set up account linking (one‑time):

  • Sign in to your Activision profile at profile.callofduty.com/cod/login.
  • In Account Linking, connect your game platform account(s) and your Twitch account to Activision.

Earn and claim your drops:

  • Watch participating Black Ops 7 streams with the Drops tag enabled until each watch‑time threshold is met.
  • Track and claim rewards from your Twitch Drops Inventory at twitch.tv/drops/inventory.

These items will be usable when Black Ops 7 goes live on November 14. Expect additional drops around launch.

Where to watch and what “eligible” actually means

For drops to count, the stream must be in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 category with the Drops feature enabled. Most official partner streams during these windows qualify; you’ll see a Drops indicator on the channel page. You need to be signed in to Twitch on the device you’re watching from, and your Twitch account must be linked to your Activision profile before watch time starts.

Common issues and quick fixes

  • Code not received (CoD Next): Check your Twitch notifications. Codes are delivered there, not in the Drops inventory.
  • Watch time not tracking: Confirm Twitch↔Activision linking, refresh the stream after linking, and verify the channel has Drops enabled.
  • Can’t claim in Twitch: Open your Drops Inventory, press Claim for each reward, then relaunch the game later to see the items.
  • Using rewards in game: Beta campaign cosmetics and the blueprint are tied to the BO7 beta period and will be available in the full game starting November 14.

Key dates

  • CoD Next drops: September 30 (one‑hour watch grants early access code; cosmetics at 15/30/45 minutes).
  • Open Beta drops: October 2–8, ending at 12:59 PM ET (four reward tiers up to four hours).
  • Full game availability for rewards: November 14.

If you’re jumping in late, the Open Beta window still lets you pick up cosmetics by watching participating streams. Make sure your accounts are linked first, keep an eye on your Twitch Drops Inventory, and budget a single long session to clear all four hourly milestones.
