Activision is giving away three FREE bundles, with 27 total items to claim. Call of Duty players can participate in Fuel Cycle surveys which allow everyone to provide feedback on Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Beginning with Season 2 Reloaded, players will randomly be invited to join the Call of Duty Recon Squad, via the email that’s linked to their Activision ID. Here’s everything we know about the Call of Duty Recon Squad:
What is The Call of Duty Recon Squad
In collaboration with Fuel Cycle, a new research community has been put together which will be active throughout the Black Ops 6 and Warzne Seasons. The Call of Duty Recon Squad will allow players to participate in online discussion boards, focus groups and provide feedback within surveys.
According to the Fuel Cycle website, AI technology is used to collect the best consumer led data to push a company in the right direction. Around 50-200 employees reportedly work at Fuel Cycle, while the amount of participants in the recon squad is currently unknown.
How to Be Invited to Recon Squad
Through the email that’s linked to your Activision ID, an invite may be sent at any given time to join the Call of Duty Recon Squad. Players will NOT see any form of invitation in game. Once a player receives an invite, they’ll be allowed to answer questions which may take around half an hour. This is currently the only way to join the Call of Duty Recon Squad
What Questions Were Asked
Thanks to an anonymous tip sent to DETONATED, we know of at least three questions that we’re asked in the first round of Call of Duty Recon Squad invites. The questions are as follows:
For each pair of statements below, pick which you agree with more:
- Entering Prestige mode relocks all weapons, perks, equipment, etc.
- COD Rank increases from 1-1,000 while the player progresses through the Prestige system
- COD Rank goes from 1-55 and resets back to COD Rank 1 upon entering Prestige mode
- Grinding to max Prestige is available at the game’s launch
- Max Prestige is capped at the game’s launch and increases each season
- Every Prestige level has the same progression system (e.g., weapons, perks, equipment, etc. unlock in the same order at the same COD Rank)
- Entering Prestige mode does not lock any weapons, perks, equipment, etc.
- Every Prestige level has a unique progression system (e.g., weapons, perks, equipment, etc. unlock in a different order, and there are unique ways to earn XP in each Prestige level)
Which Prestige system is your favorite? - Entering Prestige mode relocks weapons, perks, equipment, etc.
New prestige levels become unlocked each season, increasing the Prestige level cap
When players increase their Prestige level, they get a Prestige key they can use to unlock rewards of their choosing from a Prestige store - Entering Prestige mode relocks weapons (unless you own a purchasable blueprint for the specific weapon), perks, equipment, etc.
Max prestige is available at the game’s launch - New Prestige levels become unlocked each season, increasing the Prestige level cap
Rewards are given for reaching new Prestige levels
How interested, if at all, are you in each of the following different types of prestige systems? Please select one option on each row. - Entering Prestige mode relocks weapons (unless you own a purchasable blueprint for the specific weapon), perks, equipment, etc.
Max prestige is available at the game’s launch - New Prestige levels become unlocked each season, increasing the Prestige level cap

Questions were allegedly asked about camos, events and seasonal rewards. It’s possible Activision is gathering research before determining what the live service model may be for COD 2025 and beyond.

How to Claim Free Rewards
The participant who reached out to us claims they only received around 30 points, which means they’d have to take part in future Recon Squad surveys before being able to afford select rewards from Fuel Cycle.
Once an item is claimed on the reward page, they can launch Black Ops 6 or Warzone to find the item in their inventory, whether it’s an operator skin, blueprint or cosmetic. One’s Activision ID is already linked to Call of Duty Recon Squad by default.
