In honor of Pride 2024, you can claim a free bundle in Call of Duty until the end of the month, which contains a number of Pride-themed cosmetics.
To celebrate Pride 2024, Activision are giving every player in Call of Duty the chance to claim a free Bundle, which contains Pride-themed Camos, a Pride Flag Sticker, and a Pride Flag Weapon Charm. It's better than usual, but we've still got a long way to go in CoD to make the 1 in 5 gamers who are part of the LGBTQ community feel at home.
You can find all the details about this year's Pride Bundle and how to claim it below.
Free Pride Gift Pack Now Available In MWIII & Warzone
To celebrate Pride month 2024, Call of Duty are giving away a Pride Gift Pack for free, which contains the following cosmetics:
- A Rainbow Pride Flag Camo
- A Bisexual Pride Flag Camo
- A Lesbian Pride Flag Camo
- A Nonbinary Pride Flag Camo
- A Pansexual Pride Flag Camo
- A Transgender Pride Flag Camo
- An Asexual Pride Flag Camo
- A Rainbow Pride Flag Sticker
- A Rainbow Pride Flag Weapon Charm
This is fairly generous, given most Gift Packs only contain two items, and they're usually terrible.
How To Get The 2024 Pride Camos In Call of Duty
To claim the Pride Gift Pack in Call of Duty, follow these steps:
- Open Call of Duty, and then go into MWIII or Warzone.
- From the main menu, go to the "Store" (the rightmost tab you can select at the top).
- Scroll down to "Trending".

- Select "Claim Gift".
You get seven Camos, a Sticker, and a Weapon Charm. | © Activision - A warning will pop-up telling you that the Gift Pack is only compatible with Warzone and MWIII, not MWII or DMZ, select "Claim Gift" again.

And voilà, you have the Gift Pack. To equip any of the items, simply go into the "Customization" section of the Gunsmith for any of your weapons. You will find the Sticker and the Weapon Charm in their respective menus, whereas the Camos will be found specifically in the "Event" skin category:
There has been some controversy around this event, however, as Activision made a pretty massive blunder by forgetting to adjust the Pride Camos for certain Blueprints.
With certain Blueprints in CoD, like the Soul Harvester M4, Camos that you apply to the weapon will also apply to the rounds in the magazine. This blew up on Twitter/X when fans realized:
If you're still playing Call of Duty, stop. They introduced trans flag bullets to honor pride month. With the number of mass shootings involving trans/non binary people recently, it seems they have a motive. pic.twitter.com/hUQOIfwjts

This effect only works on a few weapon blueprints, and so we would assume this was just an unintentional mistake from Call of Duty, but either way, they need to patch it out ASAP.
Those were the 2024 Pride cosmetics in Call of Duty. Certainly some of the best we've had over the years, but there's still room for improvement.
How does Call of Duty compare to other games in terms of LGBTQ representation...
