This May, the Call of Duty Endowment (C.O.D.E.), in partnership with USAA, is celebrating Military Appreciation Month 2025 with a powerful lineup of in-game content, community challenges, and real-world events—each designed to honor and support veterans who have served their countries with courage and dedication.
A Mission That Matters
Since its founding, the Call of Duty Endowment has helped place over 150,000 veterans into high-quality jobs. In fact, in 2024 alone, the Endowment’s nonprofit grantees achieved these placements at just 1/15th the cost of similar efforts by the U.S. Department of Labor. It’s an impressive achievement driven by a simple truth: veterans deserve more than gratitude—they deserve opportunity.
This month, players are invited to show appreciation not just through words, but through action. With new in-game packs, events, and collaborative efforts with public figures and institutions, C.O.D.E. is rallying the Call of Duty community around a shared cause.
Introducing the C.O.D.E. United Force: Tracer Pack
One of the highlights of the celebration is the C.O.D.E. United Force: Tracer Pack, created in partnership with two real-life U.S. Army veterans: First Sergeant (Ret.) Korey Staley and Captain (Ret.) Florent “Flo” Groberg, a Medal of Honor recipient and the inspiration behind the popular Fearless Pack in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
This is the first time a C.O.D.E. pack has been directly inspired by two combat-tested veterans and their story of brotherhood. The pack will be available for free to U.S. military service members and veterans for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Warzone. Players will need an ID.me account to claim it, and quantities are limited—so stay tuned to C.O.D.E.’s social media for the drop.
Got Your Six: Earn Rewards, Support Veterans
From May 15 to May 29, players can participate in the Got Your Six Event, designed to bring the community together in support of veteran employment. In this event, you’ll earn in-game rewards across Black Ops 6 (including Zombies) and Warzone simply by having your squad’s back—just as so many veterans have had ours.
The more you play and complete challenges during this timeframe, the more you support C.O.D.E.’s mission.
Kane Brown High Road Challenge: 15 Million Wins for Veterans
Country music star Kane Brown is teaming up with the Endowment for the High Road Challenge, which kicks off on May 9 and runs through May 14. The goal? Reach a collective 15 million wins across Multiplayer, Warzone, and Zombie extractions.
If the community hits the target, players will unlock an exclusive “KB High Road” Calling Card inspired by Kane’s ongoing High Road Tour. It’s a fun way to blend music, gaming, and meaningful action—all in support of a vital cause.
Army vs. Navy: Battle for the Babcock Trophy
Across the Atlantic, the Endowment is backing the annual British Army vs. Royal Navy Rugby Match at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham. Tune in on May 3 to see which branch will claim the prestigious Babcock Trophy in the U.K.’s ultimate inter-service championship. It’s another example of how C.O.D.E. bridges communities through both sport and service.
Honoring Heroes with the Texas Rangers
In partnership with the Texas Rangers, C.O.D.E. will host a special Military Appreciation Night on May 14 at the ballpark in Arlington, Texas. Attendees who purchase select tickets will receive a limited-edition Ghost figurine, with a portion of the proceeds supporting the Endowment. Supplies are limited, so fans are encouraged to act fast.
