Black Ops Cold War & Warzone: Event Pass System Unveiled

Authore: CharlotteUpdate:Feb 10,2025

Unlocking Exclusive Rewards in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 & Warzone's Event Pass

Call of Duty's live-service model incorporates various systems for acquiring exclusive cosmetic rewards, catering to both free and paid players. Central to this is the Battle Pass, supplemented by the recently introduced Event Pass, designed for limited-time events. This guide details the Event Pass's functionality and value proposition.

What is the Event Pass?

The Black Ops 6 and Warzone Event Pass is a progression system linked to specific in-game events. It features free and premium tiers, each offering 10 rewards. The premium tier costs 1,100 CoD Points (equivalent to the base Battle Pass), unlocking additional rewards. Rewards align with the event's theme, as demonstrated by the Squid Game collaboration.

The Event Pass functions similarly to other progression systems, requiring XP to unlock rewards. Completing all tiers grants a Mastery Reward (often a new weapon or Operator). Unlike previous systems reliant on in-game challenges, the Event Pass streamlines reward acquisition. Double XP Weekends and Tokens significantly accelerate progress. Playing fast-paced modes on smaller maps also boosts XP gain due to increased kill counts, scorestreaks, and objective completions.

Is the Premium Event Pass Worth It?

The premium Event Pass is a worthwhile investment for players who consistently complete the Battle Pass and are willing to spend extra on in-game content. The free tier provides a selection of rewards, allowing players to assess the premium tier's value (1,100 CoD Points) before upgrading, particularly if they've already purchased the Battle Pass or store bundles.

Rewards are cosmetic and non-essential. The purchase decision depends on the value placed on exclusive event content. Collectors or players aiming for complete event participation might find it beneficial. However, players who infrequently finish the Battle Pass or prefer store bundles should prioritize saving CoD Points.

The 1,100 CoD Point price tag, in addition to the Battle Pass and other premium content (store bundles priced at 2,400 and 3,000 CoD Points), caused initial controversy. Exclusive collaborations, like the Squid Game event, often lock the most appealing content behind paywalls. Operators inspired by series characters are exclusively available through premium bundles or the premium Event Pass, limiting free-to-play access.

Before purchasing the premium Event Pass, carefully consider whether a specific reward justifies the cost (approximately $10 / £8.39) compared to other Black Ops 6, Warzone, or alternative game content.
