It’s time to celebrate, Call of Duty esports fans—Activision has brought drops to YouTube.
By simply watching the Call of Duty League on YouTube, you can earn in-game items in games like Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. The items include a weapon charm, emblems, calling cards, XP tokens, and even more awesome items like special weapon blueprints and even a weapon camo.
The drops are random, so viewers will need to link their YouTube account to their Activision ID and watch CDL matches to earn them. Once the accounts are linked, viewers only have to tune in and enjoy the games to be eligible.
You can see a sneak peek at an example of items you can earn as in-game drop items below:
Here’s how to start getting CDL drops on YouTube.
How to get CDL drops on YouTube
To start earning in-game drops, these are the steps you have to take. The following can be done on YouTube:
- First, make sure you’re logged in to YouTube.
- Head to YouTube’s account sharing page.
- You will see a list of accounts for various games and services. Find “Activision ID” and click “Connect.”
- Click “Continue.”
- Log in to your Activision account. You can use your PlayStation, Xbox, or Battle.net account, or whatever is linked to your Activision ID.
- A new window will ask you to share your information with YouTube. Click the box and then the “Authorize” button.
- If it worked, your accounts will be connected and you’ll be eligible to receive random drops while watching CDL streams.
And that’s all there is to it. Technically you don’t even need to watch the games, just as long as you have the stream open on your device you should earn progress towards the drops.
