Black Ops 7 Launches With Danielle Green Charity DLC
In a powerful move to kick off its next major release, Activision has announced the first downloadable content for the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Available on day one, the C.O.D.E. Legacy: Tracer Pack continues a cherished tradition by supporting the Call of Duty Endowment, the company's non-profit charity dedicated to placing military veterans into high-quality jobs. This year's pack is inspired by the incredible true story of U.S. Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient, Danielle Green, celebrating her service, resilience, and unwavering spirit.
The announcement sets a meaningful tone for the launch of Black Ops 7, allowing players to immediately contribute to a worthy cause while unlocking exclusive in-game content. The pack serves not only as a digital cosmetic bundle but as a tribute to the real-world heroes who have served.
A Legacy of Service: Honoring Danielle Green
The heart of the C.O.D.E. Legacy: Tracer Pack is the inspiring story of Danielle Green. Green served in the U.S. Army and was deployed to Iraq in 2004. While on patrol in Baghdad, her unit came under attack, and she was grievously wounded by a rocket-propelled grenade. The injury resulted in the loss of her left arm, ending her military career but marking the beginning of a new chapter in her life defined by extraordinary resilience.
For her sacrifice and service, Green was awarded the Purple Heart. Her journey did not end there. Post-service, she pursued a career in counseling, helping fellow veterans navigate the challenges of returning to civilian life. She also later collaborated with the innovative robotics company Open Bionics to be fitted with their "Hero Arm," a state-of-the-art prosthetic. Green's story is one of profound courage, not just on the battlefield, but in the years of recovery and advocacy that followed. This pack aims to encapsulate that spirit of determination, bringing her legacy of strength and perseverance to millions of players.
What’s Inside the C.O.D.E. Legacy: Tracer Pack?
While designed to honor a real-world hero, the C.O.D.E. Legacy: Tracer Pack will also provide players with a full suite of unique cosmetic items to use in Black Ops 7. Based on previous Endowment bundles, players can expect a collection of high-quality items themed around Danielle Green’s story and the Endowment’s mission. The pack is expected to include:
- Two Themed Weapon Blueprints: Players will likely receive two new weapon blueprints for popular in-game firearms. These blueprints will feature a custom design and special tracer rounds, leaving a distinct visual trail with every shot, possibly with a patriotic or heroic color palette.
- An Exclusive Operator Skin: A new operator skin inspired by Danielle Green’s service and spirit of resilience.
- Custom Cosmetic Items: The bundle will almost certainly be rounded out with a collection of other vanity items, including a unique weapon charm, an animated calling card, a static emblem, and a weapon sticker. Each piece will be thoughtfully designed to reflect the pack's theme of service and honor.
This content will allow players to visibly show their support for the veteran community within the game, turning every match into a potential showcase for a great cause.
More Than a Cosmetic: Supporting Veterans Through Play
The most critical aspect of the C.O.D.E. Legacy: Tracer Pack is its direct impact on the lives of military veterans. The Call of Duty Endowment (C.O.D.E.) is a non-profit organization founded in 2009 with the mission to identify and fund the most effective and efficient organizations that help unemployed and underemployed veterans find meaningful, high-quality careers.
Activision has confirmed that 100% of the company’s net proceeds from the sale of the Legacy Pack will go directly to the Endowment. This ensures that every purchase makes a tangible difference. To date, the Endowment has funded the placement of over 125,000 veterans into jobs, making it one of the most successful veteran-focused charitable initiatives in the world. By purchasing this day-one DLC for Black Ops 7, players are not just expanding their in-game inventory; they are contributing to a fund that provides veterans with the resources they need to build successful civilian lives.
This initiative transforms an in-game transaction into a powerful act of charity, connecting the global gaming community with the veteran community in a direct and impactful way. It reinforces the idea that gaming can be a powerful force for good, leveraging a massive platform to support those who have served. As players gear up for the launch of Black Ops 7, the C.O.D.E. Legacy: Tracer Pack offers the perfect opportunity to start the new game cycle by making a positive difference.
