When is Warzone & Black Ops 6 90s Action Heroes event? All rewards leaked

A new 90s Action Heroes event is coming to Black Ops 6 and Warzone, bringing a ton of rewards inspired by the golden age of action movies.

Although we’re heading towards Black Ops 7, the Black Ops 6 era is showing no signs of slowing down. The Season 5 update is yet another big content drop in both multiplayer and Warzone, bringing new guns, a Battle Pass, and the final Zombies map.

On top of all that, it also comes with a new schedule of events to take part in. The first is 90s Action Heroes, so here’s everything we know about it so far.

When is 90s Action Heroes event in BO6 & Warzone?

There is currently no official date for the event, but we know it’s coming sometime in Season 5, which arrived on August 7. The blog mentions that it’s dropping “in-season,” so we expect it to be on Thursday, August 21, the same day The Reckoning event ends.

However, it could be anywhere from then until the mid-season update, which is expected in early September.

Event explained

We don’t currently know what kind of event this one will be, but every BO6 event falls into one of three categories: Challenges, collection, or XP.

Based on a leak from ‘realityuk,’ 90s Action Heroes will be an XP gathering event. This means you’ll be able to level up and unlock rewards by simply playing matches, getting kills, and earning XP.

Each reward will have a different XP milestone, and as soon as you get there, you can claim the prize for yourself. There will also be a Mastery reward on offer that is only available once you’ve picked up all of the other rewards.

There will be 13 rewards up for grabs during the 90s Action Heroes event, two of which have been revealed already.

The first is the Mister Peeks Field Upgrade for Zombies, which spawns in the lovable mascot from Liberty Falls. He distracts enemies and even attacks them while disco music plays in the background, making him a great way to escape large hordes.

The mastery reward this time around will be the Boxing Gloves, a brand-new melee weapon. While it takes multiple hits to kill an enemy, they’re much faster than most other options in the class with extra reach, ideal for beating down enemies on smaller maps.

Although not officially confirmed, the rest of the rewards have been leaked by ‘realityuk,’ check them out below:

We’ll be updating this page with a final breakdown of the event and the rewards as soon as they’re officially revealed.
