The Holiday season is all about giving, and gamers absolutely love gifts themed around their favorite franchises. Call of Duty had one of its most successful launches ever with Black Ops 6, as millions have been enjoying the title ever since its launch on October 25.
As with every Christmas, plenty more players will join the pool after being gifted the game, but if they already have it, what sort of presents would a Call of Duty fan love?
Here’s our Holiday Gift Guide for a Call of Duty fan, so you know exactly what to get them.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
- Price: $70 / £70
- Link: Black Ops 6 full game
While it may seem obvious, the best gift you can get a Call of Duty fan this Christmas is the new title, Black Ops 6. While most will likely already have the game, this should certainly be the first consideration when gifting a CoD fan.
If you know what platform they play on, great, and if you know whether they’d prefer a digital or physical copy, even better. If they usually get games digitally, and especially if they have a PlayStation Digital Edition or Xbox Series S, you’ll want to gift them with a voucher for the platform so they can purchase it with ease.
It’s also important to note that the price will vary depending on what edition you purchase, as you may find it cheaper at certain outlets. There are always some great deals around Christmas too, so keep an eye on Black Ops 6 as you may be able to get it on sale.

If they already have the latest title, CoD Points are an excellent alternative for CoD fans, as it gives them in-game currency that they can spend on cosmetic items like Operator bundles, Blueprints, and more. What’s great about this too is that the inventory is shared across Black Ops 6 and Warzone, so no matter what game they want to play, they’ll be able to utilize the gifted CoD Points.
SteelSeries Headset
- Price: Wide range
- Link: SteelSeries website
An amazing gift for any gamer is a SteelSeries Headset, and that’s even more so for a Call of Duty player since it’s an extremely competitive game. Having top-notch audio is essential for detecting footsteps and other audio cues, and SteelSeries are widely regarded as the best.
As an owner of a SteelSeries Headset myself, I can vouch for the quality. No matter what range you go for you’re guaranteed comfort and high-quality audio, but if you have a bigger budget I’d recommend the Arctis Nova 7 Wireless, which is compatible with all platforms.
You should find some great deals on SteelSeries Headsets around the Holiday period too, so keep an eye out on places like Amazon and the official SteelSeries website.
DualSense Edge / Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2
- Price:
- DualSense Edge – $199.99 / £189.99
- Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – $179.99 / £159.99

If the person you’re gifting for doesn’t have the premium controller offering for their platform of choice, the DualSense Edge for PlayStation and Elite Wireless Controller for Xbox are both excellent options if you have a high budget. Even if they’re on PC, these controllers can be hooked up to their rig and used, so it’s a great option for all platforms.
Call of Duty is all about having smooth aim and movement, and the controller is the main instrument for that. So, having a premium controller with extra buttons and customization options can increase performance and that’s something a CoD addict will value greatly.
KontrolFreeks
- Price: $/£10-20

KontrolFreeks are thumb grips that you attach to your controller’s thumbsticks for better accuracy and control. It provides extra height for the thumbsticks, which makes it easier to make more precise movements by increasing the arc distance. They have been proven to help accuracy and grip, something that’s ever-important in a Call of Duty game.
It’s an excellent accessory for any Call of Duty player, and they’re very popular. You can purchase Call of Duty-themed KontrolFreeks, making it the perfect gift for players grinding Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
BO6 Zombies poster
- Price: $27 / £22

If they’re a fan of Call of Duty, they’re most likely a fan of the Zombies mode too. For Black Ops 6, Call of Duty have produced a Zombies key art Poster, featuring the full crew – Weaver, Carver, Auguinaldo, and Grey.
These characters are the latest Zombies crew, and since BO6 has brought back the classic round-based format, they’ll no doubt become iconic. If the first few maps are anything to go by, Black Ops 6’s Zombies mode will be a favorite that Call of Duty fans will look back on, and the poster’s vibrant colors make it the perfect addition to any gaming setup.

Another great stocking filler for any Call of Duty fan is this Black Ops 6 magnet.

They’re also great for other metal accessories you’d find in a gaming setup, such as headphones, monitor arms, and water bottles.
The magnet features the iconic Black Ops sitting bull pose and if you’re wondering about its size and material, it’s an acrylic 3.5 x 5.5 in magnet.
Call of Duty Metallic Logo Decal
- Price: $7 / £6

Lastly, another small gift perfect for a Call of Duty fan’s stocking is this Metallic Logo Decal. Just like in-game, where players can customize their favorite weapons with colorful decals, this allows fans to customize a belonging of theirs with the iconic Call of Duty logo.
This vinyl sticker is acceptable for both indoor and outdoor applications, whether they choose to stick it on their console or car. It’s fairly large too, so it will stand out wherever they decide to use it.
