Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 introduces the C.O.D.E. Navigator Challenge Event, a limited-time event that supports the Call of Duty Endowment and its efforts to help military veterans transition to civilian life. You can take part at no cost and complete in-game challenges to contribute while earning rewards.
The event runs from May 8 to May 21, 2026, and features nine unlockable items tied to objectives across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone. By finishing specific challenges in each mode, you add new cosmetics and gear to your collection during the event window.
All challenges and rewards in the C.O.D.E. Navigator Challenge Event in Black Ops 7
This event runs from May 8 to May 21, 2026, and you unlock items by completing specific tasks instead of earning general XP. Each reward includes four separate objectives tied to Multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame, and Warzone, and you only need to finish one objective per reward.
You can switch modes between rewards to complete the easiest available requirement.

Some rewards share similar requirements across modes. The Loading Screen and Compass Sticker, for example, ask for identical tasks depending on where you play.
The final reward is the Katana melee weapon. You unlock it only after earning all eight previous event rewards.
Many of these objectives encourage support-focused play. You will deploy equipment, revive teammates, complete objectives, and interact with map systems instead of focusing only on eliminations.
Because you can choose the easiest mode-specific requirement for each reward, you control the pace of progression. Rotate between modes if one challenge feels inefficient.
All rewards are free, and you can complete them in Multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame, or Warzone depending on your preferred playstyle.
