The Blaze of Glory event ran through May 15 so has now expired, though the rewards are still unlockable via armory challenges.
The Call of Duty Blaze of Glory event has now reached its final few days, but there's still time to earn the 4/20-themed free rewards and new equipment included as part of this promo in Season Three Reloaded of Black Ops 6 and Warzone. It serves as a companion for the Call of Duty High Art event with is running concurrently, and although most of the sought-after rewards are included in that, such as the two new Seth Rogen skins, there's lots of other activities taking place in the Blaze of Glory event to make it worth investigating further in the pursuit of fresh cosmetic items.
There isn't an event pass for Blaze of Glory. Instead, you'll have to jump into the new Joint Operations playlist and collect Blaze Bucks from defeated enemies to unlock the event rewards. A new perk and more are up for grabs here, including a fresh Field Upgrade for Zombies players as well, so here's everything you need to know about the Blaze of Glory event in Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
Call of Duty Blaze of Glory event schedule
The Blaze of Glory event will be live for one week in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone, starting on Tuesday, May 6 and ending on Thursday, May 15. The High Art event will also be live during Blaze of Glory, so you can farm XP to unlock Seth Rogen while enjoying the new 4/20-themed modes.
Call of Duty Blaze of Glory event rewards
Blaze Bucks, a limited-time event currency, are the main way to unlock rewards during the Blaze of Glory event. These are obtained from eliminated enemies in multiplayer matches and can also be found in supply crates in Warzone matches, giving you a couple of routes to stock up with this cash.
Each event reward has an associated Blaze Bucks cost, so you'll have to save up your cash to buy the stuff you want. Here's a full rundown of the rewards and costs, along with the screens each reward redemption is connected to:
- Double XP Token - 5 Blaze Bucks
- Large Decal - 10 Blaze Bucks
- Emblem - 10 Blaze Bucks
- Double Weapon XP Token - 20 Blaze Bucks
- Calling Card - 10 Blaze Bucks
- Gobblegum - 10 Blaze Bucks
- Frost Blast Field Upgrade - 20 Blaze Bucks
- Vendetta Perk - 20 Blaze Bucks
- Emote - 50 Blaze Bucks
- Battle Pass Tier Skip - 100 Blaze Bucks
Highly Decorated Weapon Camo - Completion Reward
BlackCell owners will also receive an additional variant of the Highly Decorated camo on top of everything else. Once the event is over, these rewards will be unlockable via armory challenges like usual.
Best Ways to Farm Blaze Bucks for Call of Duty Blaze of Glory
You'll earn Blaze Bucks just by playing the game naturally since they come from kills and supply crates, but there are optimal strategies for Blaze Buck farming in both Black Ops 6 multiplayer and Warzone battle royale.
Best Multiplayer Blaze Bucks Farming Method
The Blaze of Glory event adds a bunch of new limited-time playlists to Black Ops 6 multiplayer, and these are the best modes to get Blaze Bucks. Every kill will net you some Blaze Bucks as long as you manage to collect them from eliminated enemies before getting slain yourself, so small maps and fast-paced modes are king here.
Joint Operations is your best bet for farming Blaze Bucks since it includes a slew of modes like Hardpoint and Kill Order plus wacky modifiers that provide score bonuses, mess with gravity, change movement speed, and more.
There's also the new Blazetown 24/7 playlist, a 4/20-themed spin on the fan-favorite Nuketown. It's just Nuketown with a new color palette, so you should already know what to expect. This map has always been great for farming, and that still applies for Blaze Bucks since you'll be able to get many kills per match.
Best Zombies Blaze Bucks Farming Method
Zombies may not be heavily advertised in the Blaze of Glory event, but you can still grind this round-based survival mode to earn event rewards. Just like in multiplayer matches, defeated Zombies will occasionally drop Blaze Bucks that can be exchanged for event items.
It's not as efficient as multiplayer, but Zombies is still a solid alternative for players who just want to chill out in a PVE mode instead of putting up with sweaty online lobbies. Since Blaze of Glory isn't an XP-based event, don't worry about extracting early to maximize XP gains. Just blast through as many Zombies as you can.
Best Warzone Blaze Bucks Farming Method
Things slow down in Warzone quite a bit since engagements don't happen nearly as often as they do in multiplayer, but Blaze Bucks can also be obtained from supply crates in battle royale matches.
Because of this, it's actually more efficient to just run around POIs opening as many crates as you can. You can do this in respawn modes like Resurgence, and there are two limited-time Resurgence playlists currently available during the event period as well. You should probably avoid busier locations like the Stadium or Superstore. The quieter outskirts of Verdansk still have plenty of supply caches to find.
The train is also back in Verdansk with the Season Three Reloaded update, and that's also a great place to rack up some kills and find some supply caches. It's a risky bet, but there's not much at stake if you're playing respawn modes Resurgence or Plunder. Since you get Blaze Bucks much faster than regular XP in Warzone, farming the Blaze of Glory event in Warzone is much easier than grinding the High Art event pass.
