Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris in the midst of its 80s Action Heroes event, and players can enjoy plenty ofDie HardandRambo-themed content inside the FPS. However, it seems like there is another surprise reward that some luckyCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warfans can get access to.
While there are some standout modes like Die Hardpoint available as part of 80s Action Heroes, the real highlights are the Operator bundles for the event’s guest characters. BothJohn McClane and John Ramboare purchasable for a limited time, and each bundle comes with finishing moves and weapons ripped straight from theDie HardandRambofranchise. The characters also deliver lines pulled from the films, keeping their voices and likenesses intact.

While the bundles serve as a major attraction, and being able toperform Rambo’s iconic yellis a ton of fun, those that have bought one of the packs may have opened themselves up to a previously unmentioned bonus item. As shown by Redditor XNoOneLovesYouX, some gamers are being sent a code for a free rental of the originalDie Hard. If received, the code will last for 14 days after redemption, giving viewers a full two weeks of access to the film. These promotional codes must be redeemed before July 5, however.
Redditor nagrom shared a similar photo, though their code was tied to a free rental of the firstRambofilm instead. As of now, it is unclear if there are anyotherRambomoviesorDie Hardfilms are on offer. Regardless, players now know that they have a chance to get free rental codes for either the firstRamboor the originalDie Hard, and some believe that they have figured out how the codes are being distributed.
First, it seems like the program is exclusive to Xbox, meaning that PlayStation and PC users are out of luck when it comes to the free rentals. Secondly, Redditor MiniMuffinMage suggests that the pool of players that is being picked from is made up of bundle purchasers. If this theory is true, those that bought John Rambo or John McClane on Xbox are eligible for the chance to receive a code. Others believe that the process is not tied to the bundles at all, with allCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warplayerson Xbox having a chance.
Either way, the selection process is randomized, meaning that not everyone will be getting a free rental code. Still, those enjoyingthe 80s Action Heroes eventshould keep an eye on their Xbox messages, as there is a chance that they could be given access to the bonus reward.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
