By newsgame


Those jumping into Fallout 76 today still have plenty to unpack, from exploring content added since launch to the arrival of the Burning Springs expansion and much more to come. In light of Fallout gaining more popularity, players also have a neat collaboration with another well-known franchise to dive into.

The worlds of Fallout and Call of Duty have collided with the Season 1 Reloaded update for Black Ops 7 and Warzone, kickstarting a Fallout Event Pass themed around the Amazon Prime show, along with introducing a roster of Fallout-themed LTMs. However, players invested in Fallout 76 can actually earn a free in-game reward by jumping ship and trying out Call of Duty during this crossover. Here is how to get the Centurion Recruit Helmet in Fallout 76 for free.

The Centurion Recruit Helmet is a free reward that is available for a limited-time for Fallout 76 players. However, in order to get it, players will need to jump into a completely different game. The Centurion Recruit Helmet is unlocked through playing a match of either Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 or Warzone during Season 1.

However, before doing this, you must first ensure that you have opted in to receive emails at the email address linked to your Activision / Call of Duty Account. Here is a step-by-step process on how to do just that:

How to Opt In to Receive Call of Duty Emails

  1. Log in to Activision.com using either:

    • Your email address and password if you already have an Activision account
    • Sign in via the platform you play Call of Duty on (PlayStation, Xbox, Battle.net, or Steam)
  2. Navigate to your Profile and head to Preferences.
  3. In the Stay Up-to-Date section, check the Call of Duty toggle option to opt in to receiving emails from Call of Duty.

Once this is done, you can then move on to playing a match for either Black Ops 7 or Warzone. Since Call of Duty: Warzone is completely free to play, those looking to get the Centurion Recruit Helmet without purchasing Black Ops 7 can simply opt to play a match of Warzone instead of the premium title.

Upon doing so, you should receive an email to the address associated with your Activision account containing a code to redeem the Centurion Recruit Helmet. From here, copy the code and redeem it via the Bethesda Redemption page. Before doing so, ensure that you sign in to Bethesda using the account you use to play Fallout 76 to redeem the Centurion Recruit Helmet in-game.

The Centurion Recruit Helmet is available to celebrate the Call of Duty x Fallout crossover for Season 1 Reloaded and is only available for the remainder of Black Ops 7 and Warzone’s Season 1. This gives players until February 4 to unlock the item in Fallout 76 for free by playing either Black Ops 7 and Warzone. Once Season 2 rolls around, this offer will be over.
