Treyarch and Activision have incorporated a Twitch Drops campaign into the Black Ops 7 beta window, rewarding viewers with special in-game cosmetics and even early access via streaming. However, like most viewership reward models, the difficult aspects are timing, linking accounts, what channels qualify, and how claiming operates. This article is dissecting both periods of the BO7 Twitch Drops, the CoD Next unveiling and the October beta time, and outlining exact steps so players will get each reward.
Steps to get BO7 Twitch Drops

Before trying to earn anything, you must make sure your accounts and stream setup are correct:
Connect your Twitch and Activision accounts.
Log into your Activision account (profile.callofduty.com), enter Account Linking, and link Twitch (and any other platform) accounts. If you fail to link correctly, your watch time won’t count toward rewards.
Verify Drop eligibility on the stream.
On Twitch, the stream must indicate “Drops enabled”, typically a badge or marker. Only streams designated as Drops in the BO7 category will be counted.
Be logged in, with the proper account, and watch the live.
Use the same Twitch account you used above. Do not have the stream running in the background; idleness or switching between tabs could stop your watch time.
Understand reward claiming windows.
- You have to redeem earned rewards from the Twitch Drops stock within 48 hours from the completion of the campaign.
- Certain rewards (particularly from CoD Next) won’t appear in inventory, they’re delivered through Twitch notifications, be sure to check your notifications closely.
- Once claimed, wait for up to 24 hours for items to appear in your game. If your game is active, you may have to restart it.
Be patient for delayed rewards.
On the CoD Next campaign, although code wasn’t being released right away during the broadcast, Activision announced that eligible users would be given codes progressively later on.
How to Secure Every Drop

During CoD Reveal Stream
You need to view the official BO7 reveal stream for a minimum of one unbroken hour in order to qualify for all tiers.
- Respective cosmetic items (emblem, calling card, charm) are unlocked at 15, 30, and 45 minutes.
- At 60 minutes, you get the early beta access code.
Note: That code will come through Twitch alerts; it won’t be in your Drops collection.
Exchange it on Activision’s code redemption website (you’ll choose platform and region). Once you have done that, you receive another platform-specific code (for PS, Xbox, Steam, etc.).
During the Open Beta

- Tune into BO7 live streams that meet the Drops requirements. You need not watch a single live stream for 4 straight hours, though constant watching makes things easier to keep track of.
- Each time you reach any threshold (1h, 2h, 3h, 4h), you will get a notification on Twitch. Then go to your Drops Inventory to redeem. Of course, ensure to redeem each item (inventory → “Claim” button).
- When BO7 officially releases on November 14, the items will be usable in the game. If you manage all thresholds and claim on time, you will end up with each item: emblem, calling card, weapon charm and weapon blueprint overall.
Conclusion
To acquire all the Twitch Drops campaign rewards for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, a player needs to successfully link accounts in advance. They will also need to watch the CoD Next reveal for one hour of the total time to claim some early access cosmetics. During the BO7 beta periods (October 2-8), they will need to watch BO7 beta streams for an additional up to four hours to claim all the rewards for Twitch Drops Inventory before the expiry deadlines.
