Activision Giving Away Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone Content Through Twitch
Activision, like Riot Games, Ubisoft, and many others before it, is getting in on Twitch's incredibly popular drops system once again. In celebration of the launch of the Season 4 Reloaded update, Activision is enabling drops from July 9 through July 16 for those who watch Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone. Call of Duty players simply need to have their Call of Duty account linked to their Twitch account and then they can start earning prizes.
Here's how the drops will work during the current week-long event. Basically, rather than pure randomization for drops, Twitch viewers will get rewards just for watching a certain amount of time. One hour of watching earns the "Censory Overload" spray. Two hours of watching earns the "Love the Bomb" emblem. And watching three hours of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare or Warzone earns the "Bloodstream" assault rifle weapon blueprint.
Bloodstream is, obviously, what most Call of Duty players will have their eye on. The Bloodstream is an Assault Rifle Juliet blueprint with good control and accuracy, making it a strong mid-range option. It also features the Sleight of Hand weapon perk, which reduces the time spent reloading by half. It also sports a Tac Laser for great hip shooting.
Ultimately, the rewards aren't incredibly compelling. But they're still interesting, and better yet they're very easy to acquire. That's especially true for Call of Duty players who already routinely watch Modern Warfare or Warzone on Twitch. Getting rewards for doing something you were already doing is awesome. And this is just the latest example of what's likely to be many more drop events from Activision going forward.
This isn't the first time that Activision has done drops for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, as most players know. In April, Activision did a similar promotion with different rewards, including a "Crimson Standard" watch for viewing three hours. A pace of drops every 2-3 months seems slow, but it's better than nothing.
Stay tuned for more information about Call of Duty-related partnerships between Activision and Twitch in the weeks and months ahead.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone are available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
