The Call of Duty Endowment (C.O.D.E.) has announced a comprehensive celebration of Military Appreciation Month 2025 in partnership with USAA. The initiative brings special content to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players while supporting veterans through various programs that have already placed 150,000 veterans into high-quality jobs.
Free Content for Veterans and Special In-Game Events
Military service members and veterans can claim the exclusive C.O.D.E. United Force: Tracer Pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone at no cost. This marks the first Endowment pack inspired by real-life veterans: First Sergeant (Ret.) Korey Staley and Captain (Ret.) Florent "Flo" Groberg. The pack will be available in the coming weeks through verification on the official website.
All players can participate in the C.O.D.E. Got Your Six Event running from May 15 through May 29, 2025. The event focuses on teamwork and supporting squad members while offering exclusive in-game rewards across Black Ops 6 (including Zombies) and Warzone.
Community Challenge with Country Music Star
Country music superstar Kane Brown joins the celebration with the High Road Challenge, running from May 9-14, 2025. The community goal is to collectively reach 15 million wins/extractions across multiplayer, Warzone, and Zombies modes. Success will unlock the exclusive "KB High Road" Calling Card, commemorating both Kane's tour and the Endowment's 15th anniversary.
What Other Events Are Happening During Military Appreciation Month?
The celebration extends beyond digital content with real-world events. On May 3, 2025, C.O.D.E. will support the British Army vs. Royal Navy Rugby match at Allianz Stadium Twickenham for the prestigious Babcock Trophy.
Additionally, a partnership with the Texas Rangers will bring special in-stadium programming on May 14, 2025. Fans purchasing tickets through the official link will receive a limited-edition Ghost figurine, with a portion of proceeds supporting veteran employment initiatives.
Impact on Veteran Employment
The Call of Duty Endowment has made significant progress in its mission, with their nonprofit grantees placing veterans into jobs at 1/15th the cost of the U.S. Department of Labor in 2024. These initiatives continue to build on that success while engaging the gaming community in supporting veterans' transition to civilian careers.
Players interested in participating in these events should mark their calendars for the upcoming dates and follow the Endowment on social media for the latest updates about these Military Appreciation Month activities.
