Call of Duty is getting another Fallout collab, but this one is way more ‘okie dokie’ than the last

Call of Duty is continuing with its brand collaborations into 2026, and its first one is another Microsoft-owned IP that’s already appeared before.

To celebrate season two of the Fallout series on Prime Video, three characters from the series look to be joining Black Ops 7 and Warzone as new operators some time next month. CoD teased the announcement today, and it can be seen below.

The silhouettes in the image are of Lucy MacLean (played by Ella Purnell), The Ghoul (Walton Goggins), and Maximus (Aaron Moten) from the critically acclaimed adaptation. Season two premiered last night, and it’s already off to a great start.

These operator skins are already a marked improvement from the last Fallout-CoD collab in Modern Warfare III, which featured some pretty lazy Vault suit outfits for the game’s characters like Captain Price and Ghost.

The skins are due to come to the CoD store in the Season One Reloaded update, which should arrive in the first few weeks of January as part of the midseason refresh that will also add content like new maps, weapons, and other cosmetics.

If you look closely at the teaser, you can also see what looks like new weapon blueprints in the hands of the characters. Lucy looks to be sporting her Vault suit, like the previous skins below, while The Ghoul is in his trademark cowboy outfit and Maximus dons his Brotherhood of Steel armor. And in the background, we can see CoD’s Nuketown map, potentially teasing a Fallout-themed variant of the classic location.

Earlier this year, Activision said it would tone down some of the collabs in the game to help CoD maintain its identity, including outlandish Black Ops 6 skins like Beavis & Butthead or Seth Rogen. But with Fallout, it seems the company believes that it fits.

And, as I mentioned, both IPs are owned by Microsoft, so it’s a natural fit. Now, where’s Master Chief?

The Locked Gate arrived in ARC Raiders as part of The North Line update, and completing it will require a fair amount of coordination. You can run across it randomly during the Cold Snap update, but the conditions remain the same.

Like all map conditions, the Locked Gate isn’t available at all times. You’ll have to be lucky to find it on a map rotation. This guide will help you to complete the event successfully if you manage to start a raid while it’s available.

ARC Raiders Locked Gate event walkthrough

The Locked Gate event takes place on the Blue Gate map, but adds a custom modifier. The modifier restricts you from using any Raider Hatches and also blocks entry to the underground tunnels. All of this is part of an emergency shutdown protocol. Your job will be to find relevant security codes to open a locked gate (hence, the name).

To begin the quest, head to the Gate Control Room inside the Warehouse Complex. I have marked its location on the screenshot below, but it’s hard to miss. The Warehouse Complex is located between the central and the northern part of the Blue Gate map.

Head inside the room, and you’ll find four systems. When you try to interact with them, you’ll be asked for security codes. Finding the security codes is easy, as they will have a POI in their respective names.

If you’re trying to find the Pilgrim’s Peak code, you’ll have to head over to the location. All four POIs will be present on the Blue Gate map, but finding them can take a fair amount of time (not to mention the added dangers of ARC enemies and enemy Raiders).

Checkpoint Gate location

Once you have found all four codes, head back to the Gate Control Room. Use the four codes to unlock the central gate in the Checkpoint POI (marked on the screenshot above). You’ll find an unlocked gate, along with plenty of valuable items to loot inside. However, be highly cautious as enemy Raiders could try to ambush you for a free lot.
