The collaboration between Monster Energy and Call of Duty aims to enhance the gaming experience by offering players the opportunity to earn unique in-game rewards and double experience points with the purchase of participating Monster Energy products.
From now until December 31, 2024, consumers can unlock exclusive in-game items, including operator skins and weapon blueprints, as well as 15 minutes of double experience points for each qualifying purchase. This initiative is designed to provide gamers with incentives to engage more deeply with both the Monster brand and the Call of Duty game, especially with the impending launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on October 25.
In addition to in-game rewards, Monster Energy is enhancing its promotion through events like the Beat the Beast Twitch tournament.
