How the C.O.D.E. Navigator Challenge Event works in BO7 and Warzone

Activision has not yet shared the full details for the event, but it’s expected to follow the usual challenge-based format seen in previous seasonal events.
In a challenge-based event, you need to complete specific objectives across BO7 Multiplayer, Zombies, Co-Op/Endgame, and Warzone to unlock rewards. These challenges could include tasks such as getting a set amount of eliminations, winning matches, completing contracts, surviving for certain rounds, earning scorestreak kills, among others.
Once challenges are completed, the corresponding rewards will be unlocked automatically.
All C.O.D.E. Navigator Challenge rewards and how to unlock them
The event includes eight rewards in total, though Activision has not yet revealed the exact challenges tied to each item.
Below is a list of all the rewards:

- “Orbital” emblem
- “Ready to Launch” calling card
- “Navigator” loading screen
- “Launched” weapon charm
- “Mission Accomplished” emote
- 1 Battle Pass Tier Skip
- “Liftoff” weapon camo (animated)
- “Katana” new melee weapon
There’s a strong chance that either the Katana melee weapon or the Liftoff animated camo will serve as the event’s final mastery reward.

C.O.D.E. Navigator Challenge Event start and end date
The C.O.D.E. Navigator Challenge Event runs from May 8 to May 21, giving you nearly two weeks to complete challenges and claim every reward. Like most CoD events, it’s expected to begin at 10am PT / 12pm CT and end at the same time on the final day.
