MW3 & Warzone Retro Warfare event end date & how to get free rewards

MW3 and Warzone are celebrating the start of Season 4 Reloaded with the Retro Warfare event, giving you the chance to earn a host of free rewards.

The mid-season update brings plenty of new content, but the one catching players’ eye is the Bit Party mode. The devs are doubling down on this pixel-themed mode with the Retro Warfare event, so here’s all you need to know about it.

Start & end date

MW3 and Warzone’s Retro Warfare event began on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, and runs until Tuesday, July 9. This gives you almost two weeks to grind every reward.

How to earn rewards

You can get free rewards during the MW3 Retro Warfare event by simply playing matches and earning XP. While some in-game events come with specific objectives that need to be ticked off, this is one of the easier challenges that rewards you for playing as you normally would.

If you want to speed up the process, players with an Operator from the Tracer Pack: 8-Bit Blitz Bundle equipped will receive a 5,000 XP XP boost per match. The bundle is sold separately in the store.
