Summary
- A new event, Archie's Festival Frenzy, in Black Ops 6 offers various rewards, like the AMR MOD 4 Sniper Rifle.
- Players collect Jolly Archies through eliminations and Warzone caches to unlock gifts.
The Archie's Festival Frenzy event in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone has begun, letting players unwrap mysterious gifts of their choosing. It appears that events in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 are continuing to follow a particular format where players collect XP or eliminations to go through a checklist of items, unlocking a new weapon at the end, and this time, gamers can get a Sniper Rifle.
Many players just concluded grinding XP in Black Ops 6 during the Merry Mayhem event this CODMAS to unlock the Maelstrom automatic Shotgun, along with other rewards, but the team of developers is already offering a new selection of activities to keep its players engaged. Archie's Festival Frenzy is a new themed event that switches things up, offering different rewards.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Brings Back One of Its Most Popular Playlists
Treyarch releases a new Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 playlist update to bring back one of the game's most popular modes for the holiday season.
The new Archie's Festival Frenzy event in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 1 has gone live, presenting players with an opportunity to get an array of new items and weapons that'll improve their arsenal, making the gameplay experience even more interesting. The point of this event is to claim Jolly Archies through eliminations in Multiplayer and Zombies modes, as well as through Caches in Warzone. Players who collect these Jolly Archies will be able to exchange them for CODMAS gifts.

Players may want to consider what kinds of gifts they value most while they complete the Archie's Festival Frenzy event because outside of the item class, everything else is left a mystery by the game. The new Weapon Blueprint costs 50 Jolly Archies, but players who enjoy their current Black Ops 6 loadouts may want to spend those Jolly Archies on an attachment or cosmetics, like a Sticker and a Charm instead. Collecting all the CODMAS gifts offered in the event grants players a fresh AMR Mod 4 Sniper Rifle, so dedicated players may not care about what they get first if they know they'll collect all the available gifts.
Although most players are excited to start grinding eliminations to collect enough Jolly Archies for new items and weapons, the Archie's Festival Frenzy event has come with a strange hitch. Some players have reported already unlocking every single item after just opening their games, without needing to collect a single Jolly Archie. These reports have also shown off what each CODMAS gift is, so players who want to prioritize specific items may want to check out what's available in Archie's Festival Frenzy before going in blind. Regardless, Archie's Festival Frenzy will last for the next 14 days, ending on January 3, 2025.

WHERE TO PLAY
Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
