How To Get Free Diablo 4 DLC By Playing Call Of Duty's Halloween Event

Call of Duty's big new Halloween event, The Haunting, is now live in Modern Warfare II and Warzone. Fans of the Diablo series are getting a special bonus from the event in the form of The Butcher's Meat Hook for Diablo IV.

To get the item, players first need to link their Battle.net account to their Activision account. Then, they'll need to find The Butcher's portal on the battle royale maps Al Mazrah or Vondead and defeat him to obtain the item for use in Diablo IV. The item will take up to four days to appear in Diablo IV.

Players who defeat The Butcher prior to linking accounts need not worry, as the reward should still populate in Diablo IV once the accounts are linked. If the meat hook never shows up in Diablo IV, Activision said players should reach out to Blizzard Support for assistance.
