Black Ops 7 Carry Forward: What’s Included
After initially announcing full carry forward support then canceling it, Activision clarified which limited items will actually transfer between games.
Items That Transfer to Black Ops 7
| Item Type | Details | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Zombies Operator Skins | 4 main quest operator skin rewards | Complete Black Ops 6 Zombies main quests |
| New Orders Skin | Prestige Level 1000 operator skin | Reach maximum prestige in Black Ops 6 |
| Guild Override Camo | Weapon skin | Pre-order Black Ops 7 |
| Double XP Tokens | Experience boosters | Earned in Black Ops 6 |
| GobbleGums | Zombies power-ups | Collected in Black Ops 6 Zombies |
What Won’t Carry Forward
Most purchased content from Black Ops 6 will remain locked to that game, including:
- Battle Pass operators and skins
- Store-bought cosmetics
- Most weapon blueprints
- Multiplayer operator skins
Activision’s Authenticity Focus
Activision cited authenticity concerns when canceling the broader carry forward program, stating “Black Ops 7 needs to feel authentic to Call of Duty and its setting.” This likely addresses community criticism about increasingly outlandish cosmetics disrupting the game’s military aesthetic.
Warzone Exception
While Black Ops 6 content won’t transfer to Black Ops 7, all items will continue carrying forward to Call of Duty: Warzone as previously established.
Community Impact
The limited carry forward represents a significant shift from recent Call of Duty practices. Players who invested heavily in Black Ops 6 cosmetics may feel frustrated that premium purchases won’t transfer to the new game.
The decision particularly affects collectors who spent money on operator bundles and weapon blueprints expecting them to carry forward as initially promised.
Black Ops 7 Launch Details
Black Ops 7 launches November 14, 2025, with an open multiplayer beta scheduled for early October. The game returns to the series’ roots with a focus on authentic military presentation.
This represents Activision’s attempt to balance player investment retention with maintaining franchise authenticity after years of increasingly fantastical cosmetic content.
