It’s not just an Open Beta that players can look forward to; Call of Duty is giving away rewards to players for in-game content for playing through the Open Beta. There are a total of ten different reward items that can be earned throughout the two Beta Weekends. They can be equipped in the Beta and can only be unlocked in the Beta.

The rewards and in-game items will be available to use once Modern Warfare II launches on October 28. They will be available in Warzone 2 once that releases later this year.
