Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Beta: How to Get All Stream Rewards
Last Updated: November 3, 2025

The launch of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta is imminent, offering players the first chance to go hands-on with Treyarch's return to the acclaimed series. To celebrate the beta period, Activision is rolling out a full suite of exclusive in-game rewards for fans who tune into livestreams on Twitch and YouTube.
These limited-time cosmetics are the perfect way to build your collection and show off your early dedication before the game's full release.
How to Link Your Accounts for Black Ops 6 Stream Drops
Before you can earn a single reward, you must link your gaming platform account (PlayStation, Xbox, or PC via Battle.net/Steam) to a primary Activision account. Then, you'll connect that Activision account to your Twitch and/or YouTube profiles. If you’ve earned drops for recent Call of Duty titles like Modern Warfare III, your accounts are likely already linked, but it's always best to verify the connection is active before the beta begins.
Linking Your Activision and Twitch Accounts
Follow these steps to prepare for Twitch Drops:
- Log in to your Twitch account.
- Navigate to your account Settings and select the "Connections" tab.
- Scroll down the list of connections to find "Activision" and click the "Connect" button.
- You will be redirected and prompted to log in to your Activision account. Authorize the connection to complete the process.
- Once linked, you're ready to earn. Simply watch any streamer in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 category who has the "Drops Enabled" tag active.
Linking Your Activision and YouTube Accounts
The process for YouTube rewards is just as simple:
- Log in to your YouTube account.
- Go to Settings, then select "Connected apps".
- Find "Activision" in the app list and click "Connect".
- Sign in with your Activision account credentials when prompted and approve the connection.
- You can now earn rewards by watching official Call of Duty channels or other participating partner streams during designated reward periods.
All Black Ops 6 Beta Stream Rewards and How to Earn Them
Activision typically splits rewards across the beta's multiple weekends, often designating one platform (like Twitch) for the first weekend and another (like YouTube) for the second, or running them simultaneously. Rewards are earned by accumulating watch time on eligible streams. You must claim each reward on the respective platform after meeting the watch-time requirement before progress toward the next reward begins.
While the specific items for the Black Ops 6 beta are announced closer to the event, we can expect a lineup consistent with previous campaigns:
- Weapon Charms: Small cosmetics that hang from your weapon. Expect to unlock one after 30-60 minutes of watch time.
- Emblems & Calling Cards: Unique animated or static profile customizations to show you were part of the beta event. These are usually unlocked after 1-2 hours.
- Weapon Stickers & Decals: Cosmetics to further customize your favorite gun.
- Double XP Tokens: A common reward to help you level up faster once the full game launches.
- Exclusive Weapon Blueprint: The grand prize. This is typically a custom-tuned weapon with a unique appearance and pre-unlocked attachments, awarded for reaching the highest watch-time tier (usually 3-4 hours).
Keep an eye on the official Call of Duty blog and social media channels for the full, detailed reward track as the beta dates approach.
How to Claim Your Black Ops 6 Rewards
After meeting a watch-time milestone, you must manually claim your reward.
- On Twitch: Go to your Drops & Rewards inventory page. You will see your progress for the active campaign. Click the "Claim" button next to the unlocked reward. You must claim it here before it will be sent to your game.
- On YouTube: Rewards are often claimed automatically, but you should still monitor your progress on the Connected Apps page.
Once claimed, rewards should appear in your in-game inventory within 24 hours. If an item doesn't appear, the most common fixes are restarting your game or, in rare cases, unlinking and relinking your Activision and streaming accounts.
These rewards are only available during the brief beta window, so be sure to link your accounts, tune in, and claim your exclusive gear before it’s gone forever.
