The second weekend of the Black Ops 6 Multiplayer BETA will be the Open Access period, meaning players DON’T need to redeem a code or have the game pre ordered. Treyarch has seemingly revealed all of the major changes we should expect during Weekend 2, on top of the new content that will become available. My time at COD NEXT gave me early access to the second weekend of BETA content, as I’ll outline below. Here’s everything we know so far!
RELEASE DATE AND DOWNLOAD
Weekend 2 of the Black Ops 6 BETA begins on Friday, September 6th at 10am PT, 12pm CT and 1pm EST. Players on all platforms can jump into Black Ops 6 Multiplayer regardless if they’ve pre ordered the game or redeemed a code.
While it’s possible that the new content will go live via hot fix, it’s possible that another download may be required, which will likely range around 10GB for the COD HQ launcher. Stay tuned for further details.
EXCLUSIVE REWARDS
The green Squish operator skin was limited to a level 20 unlock during Weekend 1, but players can still unlock the grey Squash skin for hitting that milestone during Weekend 2. Players can also unlock other rewards for hitting further milestones, including a blueprint at level 30.

Viewership rewards were also announced for those who’ve linked their Activision and Twitch accounts, which allow players to earn various cosmetics for watching Black Ops 6 livestreams for specific amounts of time.
