Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 celebrates the holidays with the Naughty & Nice Event, featuring exclusive rewards like the SOKOL 545 LMG and the Snowfall camo.
With the Naughty & Nice Event, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 puts its own spin on the holiday season—introducing two progression paths, festive game modes, and exclusive rewards. Here’s how the event works, what challenges await you, and how to unlock the new SOKOL 545 LMG or the animated Snowfall camo.
When Does the Naughty & Nice Event Run in Black Ops 7?
The event is part of the CODMAS celebration and runs from December 16, 2025, through January 8, 2026. During this time, you can complete special challenges to unlock cosmetic items, weapon blueprints, and an entirely new weapon.
How Does the Event Work?
The event is split into two progression paths: the Naughty Path for aggressive players and the Nice Path for team-focused gameplay. Each path features five reward tiers, with each tier offering four different challenges to choose from.
The challenges are spread across four game modes:
- Campaign (Endgame)
- Multiplayer
- Zombies
- Warzone (Holiday Rush)
To earn a reward, you only need to complete one of the four challenges in a tier. Unlock all five rewards in a path, and you’ll receive an additional exclusive grand reward.
