How to get Batch Test and Balloon Test Operator skins in MW3 for free

The Batch Test and Balloon Test Operator Skins in MW3 are among the latest additions to the game. They are part of MW3 Rewind, the final event in Modern Warfare 3's lifecycle. These skins are for Operator Jabber, which transforms the character into mannequins. For those unaware, Jabber was one of the first Operators in the game to receive a skin, which was awarded to players for free during the Modern Warfare 3 Beta, called "Tester".

As we reach the end of MW3's lifecycle, we get another pair of free skins for Jabber. While these are almost identical to Tester, the colors are different. The beta skin was red and the new ones from MW3 Rewind are white. The two new skins look the same, except for the balloon hanging behind Jabber with the Balloon Test skin adding a quirky look to the Operator.
