Los Angeles, May 2, 2025 — Seth Rogen, the Canadian comedian known for his gravelly laugh and stoner charm, has landed in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone. He’s not just a cameo; he’s a playable operator in the new High Art event, a two-week bash that kicked off on May 1. This isn’t your typical shoot-’em-up grind. The event, drenched in 4/20 vibes, dangles a slew of rewards, from Rogen’s colorful skins to a fresh submachine gun. But nabbing them takes work—and maybe a few bucks.
The High Art event, running through May 15, is a limited-time deal tied to the Season 3 Reloaded update. It’s an XP-driven sprint, much like past crossovers with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Squid Game. Players earn points by playing multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone modes. Rack up enough, and you unlock goodies. There’s a free track with 10 rewards, no wallet required. But the premium track, costing 1,100 CoD Points—about $10—packs another 10, including Rogen himself.
Want Rogen? You’ll need the premium pass. Buy it, and you instantly get his “Fired Up” skin, decked out in leafy camo. Grind to 370,000 XP, and you unlock “Host Rogen,” where he sports a loud, tie-dye suit and black-rimmed glasses. No premium pass, no Rogen. The free track offers solid stuff, though. At 20,000 XP, you snag a “Pot-Tery” spray. Hit 50,000 XP for a one-hour double weapon XP token. A psychedelic kettle charm drops at 70,000 XP, and a loading screen of Rogen sculpting pottery with a grim reaper unlocks at 100,000 XP. At 140,000 XP, you get an animated emblem.
Keep pushing, and the free rewards get meatier. At 180,000 XP, you unlock a mini-rocket conversion kit for the Goblin MK2 assault rifle, firing explosive rounds at the cost of slower shots. A “Casual Ops” skin for operator Stone, complete with smoking gear, hits at 300,000 XP. The big prize? The Ladra SMG, a fast-firing beast, unlocks at 370,000 XP. Miss the event, and the Ladra and rocket kit move to the Armory, but you’ll need to grind there too.
The premium track’s no slouch either. At 20,000 XP, you get an animated Rogen calling card. A pottery-inspired CR-56 AMAX blueprint unlocks at 50,000 XP. A pot leaf decal drops at 70,000 XP, and a one-hour double XP token comes at 100,000 XP. At 140,000 XP, you snag a gun screen with Rogen’s voice lines. A “Ha!” emote hits at 180,000 XP, and a PP-919 SMG blueprint shaped like a joint-smoking iguana unlocks at 240,000 XP. A finishing move closes the track at 300,000 XP, alongside the “Host Rogen” skin.
Players don’t need Black Ops 6 to join; Warzone alone works fine. XP earned in any mode counts, and double XP tokens can speed things up. Unlike past events, there’s no free Rogen skin—both are locked behind the paywall. The event pass mirrors a mini battle pass, with milestones ticking off as you play. Buy the premium track late? No sweat. Your XP retroactively unlocks rewards.
The High Art event ends May 15, 2025. The Ladra SMG is a free reward at 370,000 XP. The premium pass costs 1,100 CoD Points. Seth Rogen’s “Fired Up” skin unlocks instantly with the premium pass; “Host Rogen” requires 370,000 XP.
