The attachments on this blueprint are solid, and the festive wrap makes it perfect to use in the new limited-time Warzone modes.
Santa’s Slayground and CODMAS Event Schedule
Santa’s Slayground will last for two weeks. The event began on Tuesday, December 19, 2023, at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET and it will end on Tuesday, January 2, 2024, at the same time. After the event ends, you won’t be able to earn the Ugliest Sweater blueprint or any of the other free rewards on offer.
The CODMAS event will end at the same time, so make sure you enjoy the festivities in Warzone while you still have the chance. In addition to Snowballs and holiday-themed modes, there’s also a CODMAS giveaway that you can enter to win an RTX 4090 graphics card.
