If you’ve ever wondered about your skill level in Call of Duty, you now have a way to find out. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players have discovered a way to get Activision to provide their previously hidden SBMM ratings, and it’s really easy.
TheXclusiveAce has shared the method on his YouTube channel, which lays out the simple steps to get your personalized SBMM report going back to 2021’s Call of Duty: Vanguard. As noted by TheXclusiveAce, each report includes some highly personal data including your IP address, so think twice before sharing it unedited.
To get access, the first step is to visit Activision’s privacy page and login to your Activision account. TheXclusiveAce also mentioned that he had to login to his PSN account as well. After that, submit a personal information access request. Prior to the video above, the wait time was around a day before Activision e-mailed the file out. But since this method is now widely known, there may be additional delays.
The report itself is a very through examination of each player’s Call of Duty history, as it tracks every match played, as well as the mode, the operator who was used, the number of hits taken, the longest streak, and more. It’s a lot to take in. The report also charts the course of each player’s skill ranking as it rises or falls depending upon their activities in the games.
SBMM ratings are used to place Call of Duty players in lobbies with similarly skilled players, as determined by Activision’s criteria. Not every player may agree with these assessments, as the NBA’s Donovan Mitchell recently pleaded with Activision to put him “in the trash lobbies.” Over time, it’s possible that the most experienced Call of Duty players may be able to utilize the info in their player reports to enhance their ratings.
Recently, Activision debuted a stoner-lizard DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone. There is also a new patch for Black Ops 6 that’s meant to address other issues in the game as well. Meanwhile, Treyarch unveiled a collaboration between Black Ops 6 and Netflix’s Squid Game.
