ActivisionA 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.
90s Action Heroes event start date
The event goes live on Thursday, August 21, 2025, the same day The Reckoning event ends. It was originally announced as just “in-season,” but the final date has been confirmed by a listing in the Black Ops 6 Events tab.
ActivisionEvent explained
The 90s Action Heroes is an XP gathering event. This means you can level up and unlock rewards by simply playing matches, getting kills, and earning XP.
Each reward has a different XP milestone, and as soon as you get there, you can claim the prize for yourself. There is also be a Mastery reward on offer that is only available once you’ve picked up all of the other rewards.
All rewards leaked
ActivisionThere are 13 rewards up for grabs during the 90s Action Heroes event, the first of which 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.
This Field Upgrade is also needed to get the Aether Blade in Zombies, so it’s well worth unlocking as soon as you can.
