Warzone Season 3 is packed with free rewards for all players, offering exclusive cosmetics, XP boosts, and even Operator skins without spending any money. From Twitch drops and YouTube tournament rewards to hidden codes and in-game events, there are multiple ways to claim limited-time items just by playing or watching. Whether you’re grinding ranked, completing events, or collecting free COD Points from the battle pass, this season is one of the most rewarding yet.

Free Twitch drops in Warzone Season 3

Call Of Duty Warzone Season 3 has launched with a huge list of free rewards that players can claim simply by playing, watching streams, or completing in-game challenges. These limited-time items include exclusive blueprints, emblems, XP tokens, and even operator skins. Whether you’re a daily grinder or a casual player, these rewards are worth grabbing while they last.

First up, the Twitch drops. From April 3 to April 30, players can earn three different rewards by watching Warzone streams on Twitch with drops enabled. The stream must be under the “Warzone” category, and you’ll know drops are live when a notification appears at the top-right corner of the chat that says “Drops Enabled.”

Here’s what you can earn:

  • Watch for 2 hours: 1-hour double XP token
  • Watch for 4 hours: 1-hour double weapon XP token
  • Watch for 6 hours: Green Machine LMG weapon blueprint

To make sure this track, you need to link your Activision account to your Twitch profile. You can do this by visiting callofduty.com and heading to the account connections section. Once connected, you don’t have to fully watch the streams — you can mute the tab and let it run in the background while still earning progress.

YouTube CDL Major 3 drops unlock blueprints, stickers, and emblems

Next up is the CDL Major 3 tournament which will run from April 24 to April 27. During the event, you can unlock a large number of free cosmetic items just by watching the streams on YouTube. The drops include calling cards, weapon XP tokens, animated emblems, and even a weapon blueprint.

To qualify for these rewards, go to youtube.com/codleague and watch the live streams after linking your YouTube account with your Activision account under “Connected Apps.” You’ll need to stay on the stream for specific durations to claim different rewards.

Some notable rewards from the event:

  • “Retro” LR762 weapon blueprint
  • “Easy W” weapon sticker
  • “Dropping Donuts” and “Zen” calling cards
  • Multiple XP and weapon XP tokens

Each tournament day has its own set of rewards based on watch time from 1 to 2.5 hours. Sunday tends to give out the best loot, so don’t miss the final day of the event.

Claim hidden codes and in-store freebies

A lesser-known trick this season is using the Verdansk is Back public code to claim a free calling card and a double weapon XP token. Head over to callofduty.com/redeem and enter the working code (search Twitter or Reddit for the latest code) — it’s been confirmed to work for anyone.

Additionally, the in-game store frequently updates with free gift packs. These are typically small bundles containing:

  • XP tokens
  • Emblems
  • Stickers or charms

While not game-changing, they’re a solid way to keep your XP grinding without spending any points. Check the store every few days to make sure you don’t miss one.

Earn free battle pass rewards including COD Points

Even if you didn’t buy the Season 3 battle pass, there’s still a lot you can unlock. The free tiers of the battle pass give access to weapon blueprints, emotes, finishing moves, and most importantly, free COD Points.

This season, players can collect up to 300 free COD Points just by progressing through the pass. These points carry over to future Call of Duty titles and can be stacked to unlock a full battle pass later if you continue saving across multiple seasons.

Also included in free tiers:

  • 3D emotes like “Cranked”
  • Weapon charms and gobble gums
  • A brand new finishing move

If you save points from each season, by the end of four seasons you’ll have enough (1200 COD Points) to buy a full battle pass. And once purchased, you can earn back that value by completing the premium tiers, allowing for an ongoing cycle of free content.

Special event rewards including operator skins and limited-time gear

There are also multiple live and upcoming events in Season 3 with exclusive rewards. Some of the current and future events include:

  • Return to Verdansk event: Unlock Trailblazer operator and Cali Sticks
  • Black Ops Tribute event: XP-based challenge event with tiered unlocks
  • 420 crossover event: Coming soon, featuring Jay and Silent Bob characters, a Verdansk map update, new multiplayer LTMs, and possibly special camos

Past 420-themed events offered some of the best-looking camos in Warzone, so it’s worth watching for surprises this time too.

The final reward for the Black Ops Tribute event is the redacted operator skin. To claim it, you’ll need to own Black Ops 6 multiplayer. However, the rest of the event rewards are free for all players.

Ranked rewards for multiplayer and Warzone players

Warzone Season 3 introduces ranked play rewards for both multiplayer and Warzone itself. Multiplayer ranked play lets you unlock:

  • Weapon blueprints from Gold to Top 250 ranks
  • Calling cards starting at Silver
  • A challenge-based blueprint for 10 ranked wins
  • A large decal for reaching 100 wins

Warzone-ranked rewards will arrive later in the season via the mid-season update. A new ranked camo was found in game files and is expected to be unlocked through challenge-based objectives, such as getting eliminations or top 10 placements.

Zombies mode offers a free operator through Easter egg completion

If you’re playing Zombies this season, completing the new Shattered Veil Easter egg will unlock the PH Deadly operator skin. This is one of the only completely free operators offered so far in Season 3 and was last available back in Season 1.
