As mentioned in the recent Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 reveal post, the new game will feature the ability to utilise a wide variety of content from Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. This mostly begins a few weeks after launch at the start of Season 1. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Equipment and Scorestreak Skins for content unavailable in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will not carry forward.
  • Equipment and Scorestreak Skins for content updated for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will not carry forward.
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 weapon camos will not be transferable to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 weapons but will still be usable on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 weapons.
