How to Earn Old Gift Packs in Call of Duty:

  1. Background:

    • Since the release of Modern Warfare 2019, Call of Duty has significantly expanded its in-game customization. Players can now adorn their weapons with a variety of stickers and charms.
    • These cosmetics can be earned through in-game milestones, events, the Battle Pass, or by purchasing bundles.
  2. Gift Packs:

    • One of the simplest ways to get these cosmetics is through gift packs that developers release in the shop during holidays.
    • If you don't log in and play during these holiday periods, you might miss the chance to get these gift packs.
  3. The Trick:

    • A player on MW3’s Reddit discovered that you can still redeem these missed gift packs by following these steps:
      • Step 1: Open the Gunsmith in the game.
      • Step 2: Navigate to the "Customize" tab.
      • Step 3: Scroll through the "Stickers" section.
    • By doing this, you can access and redeem any gift packs you previously missed.

This method allows you to catch up on cosmetics without having to wait for them to reappear in the shop during future holidays. Keep in mind that the UI might be cumbersome to navigate, but the rewards are worth the effort if you're keen on personalizing your weapons with these unique items.
