Summary: The Black Ops 7 DOOM Event Pass is now live as part of Season 6: The Haunting, bringing one of gaming's most recognizable characters into Call of Duty. Unlike a normal seasonal Battle Pass, the DOOM Event Pass uses a dedicated XP progression system with both a free and premium reward track.
The event launched on September 24 across Black Ops 7 and Warzone, and players can make progress by earning XP in Multiplayer, Zombies, Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies, Endgame and Warzone.
For players mainly interested in Doom Slayer, the biggest thing to know is that the character is tied to the premium track, while the free track still contains a new weapon and several DOOM-themed cosmetics.
How to Unlock Doom Slayer in Black Ops 7
The Doom Slayer Operator is the first major reward on the Premium Track. The Premium DOOM Event Pass costs 1,100 COD Points, while the free track is available without purchasing the premium version.
Buying the Premium Track does not mean you need to restart your progression. The premium rewards are earned alongside the free track, so players who complete part of the event first can later upgrade and claim the premium rewards corresponding to their existing progress.
The final premium reward is the Doom Guy Operator Skin, while Doom Slayer is unlocked at the beginning of the premium progression.
Black Ops 7 DOOM Event Pass Free Rewards
You do not have to spend COD Points to participate.
The free track contains 10 rewards, starting with the Researcher Operator Skin for Wei Lin and ending with the Roc 20mm Special Weapon. Along the way, players can also earn the Soul Harvest Spray, a 1-Hour Double Weapon XP Token, Daisy Sticker, Demon Slaughter Loading Screen, Praetor Helm Emblem, Doom 1993 Large Decal, Scientist Operator Skin and Mini Slayer Weapon Charm.
The Roc 20mm is particularly important because it means free players still have a meaningful gameplay reward to chase rather than receiving only cosmetic items.
The free track therefore works as a standalone progression path. You can earn everything on it through XP without purchasing the DOOM Event Pass Premium Track.
Every Premium DOOM Reward
The premium side adds the main DOOM crossover cosmetics and weapon blueprints.
The reward path includes the Doom Slayer Operator, Slayer's Arrival animated Calling Card, Rend AN-94 Blueprint, Shieldsaw Revs Emote, Tear M10 Breacher Blueprint, Evisceration Finishing Move, BFG Siren Blueprint, Crucible Katana Blueprint, Doom Count Gun Screen and finally the Doom Guy Operator Skin.
That makes the premium track much more focused on the DOOM crossover itself, while the free path gives players a smaller selection of themed items plus the Roc 20mm.
How to Level Up the DOOM Event Pass Fast
The good news is that the event does not require a special challenge list for every reward. The progression is based on earning XP, so almost any normal play session contributes.
Activision confirms that progression works across Multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame and Warzone.
That opens several routes depending on your preferred mode.
Multiplayer players can combine match XP with daily and weekly challenges. Zombies players can stay in longer sessions and continually generate XP, while Warzone players can use faster match cycles and challenges to keep progression moving. Current event guides also recommend taking advantage of Double XP opportunities when available.
This is also why the event is less restrictive than a mode-specific grind. You can simply play the part of BO7 that you already enjoy and continue building DOOM Event Pass XP.
DOOM Event Pass vs Season 6 Battle Pass
One important point is that the DOOM Event Pass is not the same thing as the Season 6 Battle Pass.
Season 6 also introduces a separate Battle Pass led by Blackjack, along with BlackCell content, new weapons and other seasonal rewards. The DOOM Event Pass is an additional limited-time progression system built specifically around the crossover.
That distinction matters because players can progress through the DOOM rewards without treating the event like another standard Battle Pass purchase.
What Black Ops 7 Players Should Know
The BO7 x DOOM crossover is much more than a single Store bundle. The event gives players a complete progression path with Doom Slayer, Doom Guy, the Crucible, BFG-themed content and the Roc 20mm spread across free and premium tracks.
For free-to-play players, the path is straightforward: earn XP and work toward the Roc 20mm without spending COD Points. For players who specifically want Doom Slayer and the complete crossover reward set, the Premium Track adds the 1,100 COD Point layer.
One timing detail is worth watching: Activision's official announcement describes the pass as a limited-time, in-season event but does not state an end date on that page. Some current third-party guides list October 15, 2026, so players should check the in-game event timer rather than relying only on external dates.
For Season 6, the DOOM Event Pass is one of the clearest new search targets because players are actively looking for the same practical answers: How do I get Doom Slayer? What is free? How to make CoD Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies? How much does it cost? And what is the fastest way to finish it?
