Black Ops 6 Unlocks Will no Longer Transfer to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7

Despite their previous announcement, Activision has now announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 unlockables and purchased content will no longer transfer to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7; it will remain locked to Black Ops 6 and War Zone.

This decision was made due to fan feedback and complaints regarding the operatives, weapon skins, and other content found within Black Ops 6, which many fans felt were a departure from the grounded experience they once knew and loved.

Here is the statement as released by Activision regarding the matter.

First off, thank you. Call of Duty has always been fueled by the community. Every match, every clip, every bit of feedback; you’ve shaped this franchise right alongside us.

We know there’s been a lot of conversation recently about the identity of Call of Duty. Some of you have said we’ve drifted from what made Call of Duty unique in the first place: immersive, intense, visceral and in many ways grounded. That feedback hits home, and we take it seriously. We hear you.

Throughout development, Treyarch and Raven’s north star has been to deliver a spiritual successor to Black Ops 2 while taking some big swings. You’ll see it across Black Ops 7’s Multiplayer, Zombies, Co-Op Campaign (including Endgame), and even Dead Ops Arcade 4.

Over the years, we’ve had a variety of games and experiences that fans have enjoyed from the Modern Warfare series to the Black Ops series and beyond. Today, we wanted to share with you some of the ways we’re approaching things with Black Ops 7.

What’s Changing and Why

Operators, Operator Skins, and Weapons from Black Ops 6 will no longer carry forward into Black Ops 7.

Black Ops 7 needs to feel authentic to Call of Duty and its setting. That is why Black Ops 6 Operator and Weapon content will not carry forward to Black Ops 7. Double XP tokens and GobbleGums will still carry forward, because we recognize your time and progression are important.

This change applies only to Black Ops 7. Call of Duty: Warzone is not affected, and all your Black Ops 6 content stays usable there
