The 2020 Black Ops Cold War CODE Bowl is happening right now and if players watch the livestream for it, they’ll be able to secure a free hour of Double Weapon XP in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Here’s what you need to do in order to get your hands on it.

The 2020 BOCW CODE Bowl is finally here! Just like last year’s Modern Warfare edition, fans have a chance to sit down and watch their favorite streamers and pro players team up with members of the US and UK military to raise awareness for the Call of Duty Endowment. The Endowment is a nonprofit that helps fund the highest-performing charities who assist veterans.

The stream is going on for a few hours and Activision and Treyarch have now announced that players who watch will be able to get a free double weapon XP token for Black Ops Cold War. Getting your hands on it is simple, requiring just a few easy steps.

How to get your hands on the double weapon XP token

While the process of getting your hands on this token is simple, it does require a few things before you can start watching. First of all, you’ll need both a Twitch account and a Call of Duty account in order to get the token at all. You should have a CoD account if you’ve played the game before, so just be sure to make a Twitch account before hand.

  1. Log on to your Twitch account and Call of Duty accounts.
  2. Hover over your name in the Call of Duty account page and click “linked accounts”.
  3. Scroll down to the Twitch section and click “Link with Twitch Account”.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
  5. Watch 30 or more minutes of the CODE Bowl tournament.
  6. The Double XP tokens should pop up in your game the next time you boot it up.

It’s important to note that you must be watching the CODE Bowl stream on Twitch, not on YouTube. If you watch it on the latter, there’s no way to get your hands on the free XP token, as this promotion uses the Twitch Drops system.

Given the fact that fans are having a tough time leveling up their weapons, a free hour of double weapon XP is surely welcome. Here’s hoping that Treyarch and Activision do more promotions like this in the future.
