In Season 4 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the Rivals Event stands as the epicenter of competitive storytelling, pitting Adler and Stitch against one another in Black Ops 6 bot lobby setup a high‑stakes contest. Not an isolated mode, but a game‑wide XP challenge, the event launched on June 19 and runs through July 1, seamlessly bridging across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone modes.

The narrative of the event builds on the Adler vs. Stitch rivalry—two agents with diverging philosophies forced to cooperate to dismantle a hidden threat. The event’s core is collecting XP—normal XP earned in any game mode counts towards a shared progress bar. That means every kill, objective, round survived, or contract filled helps players progress through a unified reward track.

Rewards are distributed at specific XP thresholds. The first milestone, at 15,000 XP, unlocks two emblems—Vote Adler and Vote Stitch—allowing players to signal allegiance. By 43,000 XP, they gain a 30‑minute 2× Weapon XP token and a Zombies‑only Shatter Blast ammo modification. At 86,000 XP comes the “Arch‑Nemesis” loading screen, providing a visual nod to players’ commitment to the rivalry.

Further rewards include weapon stickers (“Team Shades” & “Team Masks”) unlockable at 144,000 XP, and calling cards (“Adlearned” and “Stitched View”) available at 215,000 XP. A 1‑hour 2× XP token drops at 299,000 XP, keeping players incentivized with sustained progression boosts. At 396,000 XP comes the weapon charm “Head to Head.” As the stakes intensify, players at 504,000 XP earn the Stryder .22 3‑Round Burst attachment—making it a strategic unlock for multiplayer or Zombies play.

The event culminates at 622,000 XP with significant gameplay rewards: the Grim Reaper scorestreak and three “On the House” gobblegums for Zombies favorites. Reaching that final threshold also grants the “Sworn Rivals” Jackal PDW blueprint, with a special BlackCell variant for players who own that edition. These final unlocks are both functional and aesthetic, rounding out a progression system that balances flair and power.

Timed to follow the “Ballerina” event (June 5–19), the Rivals Event spans just under two weeks. The length is deliberate—short enough to create urgency, but long enough to let dedicated and casual players alike complete the progression. The cross‑mode XP system ensures no one is left out; if you focus solely on Zombies, your play still counts toward the same milestones.

From a gameplay perspective, the event cleverly marries casual cosmetics (emblems, stickers, charms) with tangible upgrades (weapon mod, scorestreak, blueprint). The pacing of rewards—light cosmetic flair early, mid‑tier boosts, then powerful endgame items—is carefully calibrated to maintain engagement and drive toward the master blueprint.

For players, the message is clear: participate across modes, pace yourself, and let the XP flow naturally. Between strategic use of XP tokens and consistent play sessions, even casual players have a solid shot at reaching the mid‑tier rewards. Those who prioritize objective modes and strong Grim Reaper scorestreak builds early ensure maximum efficiency. Ultimately, the Rivals Event offers depth, motivation, and satisfying payoffs—ideal for a season‑defining challenge.
