Nicolas Cage CoD Black Ops 7 and Warzone: How to Unlock His 2 Skins, Full Guide

The Nick Cage event has been available since June 25 in Black Ops 7 and Warzone, and will run until July 16. No special mission or hidden condition: it's a classic XP pass, playable across all modes. The only real decision to make is whether you're going to shell out 1,100 CoD Points for the premium track...

Free or premium

The event runs on two parallel tracks. The free one is accessible to everyone right now. The premium one costs 1,100 CoD Points (around €10) and unlocks all at once.

Important note

Nicolas Cage as a playable operator is exclusively on the premium track. If you want this skin, there's no free alternative. The free track offers solid rewards (including two new weapons).

How to progress: farming XP efficiently

Tiers unlock only by accumulating in-game XP, in any mode: multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame, or Warzone. We don't know the exact XP amount required per tier, but estimates put it around 300,000 to 400,000 total XP to finish both tracks.

A few tips to optimize your progression:

• Multiplayer: favor objective modes - Kill Confirmed and Domination generate more XP per match than modes without objectives.
• Warzone: Resurgence Casual mode is the most XP-efficient.
• Double XP Tokens: this is a good time to burn through your stock if you have any. They apply to event progression.

Free rewards (10 tiers)

The two weapons at the end are the main reasons to farm even without paying:

• "Opportunist" Samuels operator skin
• "Wide Eyed" spray
• 1-hour Double Weapon XP Token
• "On Set" loading screen
• Battle Pass Tier Skip
• "Art of Respect" animated emblem
• "Hired Muscle" Grimm operator skin
• "Personal Tyrant" weapon charm
• New melee weapon Executioner's Duet
• AN-94 assault rifle (the return of the Black Ops 2 classic)

Premium rewards (10 tiers, 1,100 CoD Points)

The "Unlimited" skin at the final tier is the mastery reward - you need to complete the entire premium pass to get it:

• Nick Cage operator (unlocked at the first premium tier)
• "Elegant Transformation" animated calling card
• Peacekeeper MK1 assault rifle blueprint "Shedding Limits"
• "Get In Position!" emote
• Jäger 45 pistol blueprint "Snake Handler"
