You want to make sure you have Call of Duty: Warzone downloaded on your preferred platform. You can grab it on PC on the Battle.net platform and Xbox or PlayStation platforms. It’s a free-to-play game, so everyone should have access to it.

After downloading it, you want to jump into the game and double-check all of the shaders have been preloaded. The shaders appear following every new update for Call of Duty: Warzone. If you haven’t played the game in a long time, you can expect to download the shaders before entering the game. Once those are downloaded, you’ll be forced to restart the game and come back to it.

With all of the shaders installed, it’s just a matter of waiting in the Call of Duty: Warzone lobby for the event to go live. It should be happening at 1:30 PM ET or 10:30 AM PT. There is a distinct countdown on the Call of Duty: Warzone upper left icon.
