As long as you have the necessary equipment, the MW3 Rewind event should be a breeze. Any Multiplayer mode, such as All the Shipments 24/7, Mutation, and Small Map Mosh Pit, will help you complete its challenges and earn rewards. Each gift ties into a past celebration, invoking a sense of nostalgia and connection to the game’s history. In particular, the Side-Scroller Calling Card derives from the Retro Warfare event, while the Sunset Armageddon Camo takes inspiration from the High Trip event.

Those who complete all 14 challenges earn their right to the latest Operator skins, Batch Test and Balloon Test (Jabber). Based on the design, these skins seem to correlate to the handy Jak Aftermarket Parts. You’ll also notice that the back of the Operator displays a “The End” sign to commemorate Modern Warfare 3’s last season.

You must complete all these challenges before the MW3 Rewind event ends on Oct. 16, 2024. There will still be a few more modes available after that, specifically with the Black Ops 6: Woods Operator Pack Challenge and Warzone’s Purgatory Island. Additionally, you can claim the Blood Red Riding Hood skin from Trick ‘R Treat: Candy Hunt, which will conclude at the same time as MW3 Rewind. It’ll all clear the way for BO6’s official launch, arriving on Oct. 25.
