Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 & Warzone DOOM Event Pass — Doom Slayer Release Date and Everything Included, Explained

The Doom Slayer is coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Call of Duty: Warzone. Starting September 24, 2026, a limited-time DOOM Event Pass goes live inside Season 06: The Haunting, letting players unlock the Doom Slayer as a playable JSOC Operator alongside his "Doom Guy" alternate skin, a set of DOOM-branded weapon blueprints, and a Praetor-armor finishing move. A separate store bundle, themed around the franchise's demons, arrives alongside it.

Here's exactly when the DOOM crossover starts, everything included in both tracks of the Event Pass, and what's in the paid Tracer Pack bundle if you'd rather buy in outright.

1. When Does the DOOM Event Start in Black Ops 7 and Warzone?

Season 06: The Haunting launched across Black Ops 7 and Warzone on September 17, 2026, bringing the Haunted Hollow Resurgence map, a new Camo Costume Party Event, and a Battle Pass headlined by the Operator Blackjack. The DOOM crossover follows about a week into the season: the Event Pass and its Doom Slayer rewards go live on September 24 and run for a limited time before the season ends. For everything else that changed at launch — new weapons, maps, and Zombies content — see our full breakdown of the Season 06: The Haunting update.

2. DOOM Event Pass — Free Track Rewards

The Event Pass is split into a Free Track, open to everyone across Endgame, Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone, and a Premium Track you have to purchase. Progressing the Free Track by earning XP unlocks:

• "Researcher" Operator Skin for Wei Lin (JSOC)
• "Soul Harvest" Spray
• 1-Hour Double Weapon XP Token
• "Daisy" Sticker
• "Demon Slaughter" Loading Screen
• "Praetor Helm" Emblem
• "Doom 1993" Large Decal
• "Scientist" Operator Skin for Falkner (Guild)
• "Mini Slayer" Weapon Charm
• Roc 20mm Special Weapon

The Roc 20mm is also one of Season 06's new base weapons, so free-track players still walk away with a usable new weapon even without spending anything.

3. Premium Track Rewards, Including the Doom Slayer

Buying the Premium Track unlocks a second, parallel set of rewards on top of everything in the Free Track. According to the official Season 06 patch notes, that includes:

• "Doom Slayer" New Operator (JSOC)
• "Slayer's Arrival" Animated Calling Card
• "Rend" AN-94 Assault Rifle Blueprint
• "Shieldsaw Revs" Emote
• "Tear" M10 Breacher Shotgun Blueprint
• "Evisceration" Finishing Move
• "BFG" Siren Special Weapon Blueprint
• "Crucible" Katana Melee Weapon Blueprint
• "Doom Count" Gun Screen
• "Doom Guy" Operator Skin for Doom Slayer (JSOC)

That's a full Doom Slayer loadout: the Operator himself, a Praetor-suit "Doom Guy" alternate, and blueprints modeled on the BFG, the Combat Shotgun, and the series' signature melee weapons. Activision hasn't published a price for the Premium Track in the patch notes; Call of Duty's limited-time event passes have typically run around $10 in past seasons.

4. Who Is the Doom Slayer in Black Ops 7?

The official Season 06 announcement leans hard into Doom lore for the Operator's bio, describing him as burned "by the embers of Armageddon" and tainted "beyond ascension" after choosing "the path of perpetual torment." It's a straightforward reskin of the id Software character's backstory rather than a new in-universe explanation — Treyarch is treating this as a crossover event, not a canon appearance, in the same way past seasons have brought in guest Operators from outside the Black Ops story.

5. Tracer Pack: DOOM Demonic Essence — the Store Bundle

Alongside the Event Pass, a separate purchasable bundle called Tracer Pack: DOOM Demonic Essence focuses on the franchise's villains rather than the Slayer himself. It's sold individually in the in-game store and includes:

• "Marauder" Jurado Operator Skin (Guild)
• "Icon of Sin" Samuels Operator Skin (JSOC)
• "Hellish Argent" M15 Mod 0 Assault Rifle Blueprint (with Tracers and Death FX)
• "Putrid Essence" Dravec 45 SMG Blueprint (with Tracers and Death FX)
• "Marauder's Axe" Mace Melee Weapon Blueprint
• "Futile" Finishing Move
• "Prepared to Destroy" Emote
• "Cacodemon" Weapon Charm
• "Death Wave" Animated Emblem
• "Hell Invasion" Animated Calling Card
• "OG Icon" Sticker

Because this bundle is store-only rather than tied to XP progression, it's the faster option if you want DOOM cosmetics immediately and don't care about earning the Doom Slayer Operator through the Event Pass grind.

6. How the DOOM Crossover Fits Into The Haunting

The Doom content is one piece of a wider Halloween-themed season. Season 06: The Haunting also added the Haunted Hollow Resurgence map in Warzone — featuring a recurring Ghost Train, pumpkin collectibles with randomized effects, and flooded ruins that reveal buried structures — plus an expanded Rogue Run mode in Zombies with new Pack-a-Punch and Golden Armor pedestal rewards, and the Forbidden Summoning event in Endgame.

The season also runs a separate Camo Costume Party Event, unlockable by completing Weapon Class Camo Challenges across all four modes, which rewards the new Arcblade melee weapon along with nine Halloween-themed camos, including four animated ones.

7. Why This Is One of Black Ops 7's Last Big Events

Season 06 is widely expected to be the final major content drop for Black Ops 7 before Activision shifts its attention to Modern Warfare 4. Treyarch has been winding down support for the game accordingly, and the studio's own comments on what comes next are worth reading if you're wondering what happens to Black Ops 7 after this season ends — we covered that in our piece on Treyarch's farewell message and the road to Modern Warfare 4. That context matters here: with the DOOM Event Pass being time-limited and the season itself likely the last one to get content of this scale, it's a "grab it now or risk missing it" situation for anyone who wants the Doom Slayer.
