You can now unlock the Crank Job emote in Warzone and Black Ops 6 for free. The iconic gesture from Black Ops Cold War has finally returned to the games with the Season 3 update. It is a completely free reward, and you won't have to spend a dime to acquire it. All that the developers ask of you is to play the games and earn XP. That said, simply earning XP won't get the job done.

Since it's a Battle Pass reward, unless you have set your BP Tokens to auto-use, it won't be claimed automatically. But fret not, we will explore how you can unlock the Crank Job emote in Warzone and Black Ops 6.

How to get Crank Job emote in Warzone and Black Ops 6

The Crank Job emote in Warzone and Black Ops 6 can be unlocked on Page 6 of the Season 3 Battle Pass. To access Page 6, you must claim at least 22 items from the Battle Pass. In case you are on the free tier, fret not you can still claim these 22 items, but they won't be unlocked for use in-game.

Once you have access to Page 6, simply spend one Battle Pass Token to unlock the "Crank Job 3D" emote. Doing so will unlock the emote for use in both games.
