CoD Black Ops 6 & Warzone: Event Pass System, Explained

Black Ops 6 & Warzone Event Pass: A Comprehensive Guide

Call of Duty's live-service model introduces various systems for unlocking cosmetic rewards. Beyond the standard Battle Pass, the Event Pass offers a supplementary progression track for limited-time events, providing unique cosmetic items. This guide details the Event Pass's functionality and helps you decide if the premium version is worth the investment.

What is the Event Pass in BO6 & Warzone?

The Event Pass in Black Ops 6 and Warzone is a tiered reward system linked to specific in-game events. Both free and premium tiers offer 10 rewards each, with the premium version costing 1,100 CoD Points (the same price as the base Battle Pass) and unlocking additional items. Rewards are themed to match the event, as demonstrated by the Squid Game collaboration.

Progress is earned through in-game XP. Completing all tiers grants a Mastery Reward, often a new weapon or Operator. Unlike challenge-based systems, the Event Pass streamlines reward acquisition, particularly beneficial for players fully participating in themed events. Double XP weekends and tokens significantly accelerate progress.

Is the BO6 & Warzone Premium Event Pass Worth It?

The premium Event Pass is a worthwhile consideration for players who regularly complete the Battle Pass and are comfortable with additional in-game spending. The free tier offers a taste of the rewards; completing it first lets you assess whether the 1,100 CoD Points premium upgrade is justified, especially if you've already purchased the Battle Pass or store bundles.

Remember, rewards are purely cosmetic. The decision hinges on your valuation of exclusive event content. Collectors or those wanting complete event participation might find it worthwhile. However, if you rarely finish the Battle Pass or prioritize store bundles, saving your CoD Points may be more prudent.

The 1,100 CoD Point price tag, added to the Battle Pass cost and expensive store bundles (2,400-3,000 CoD Points), caused initial controversy. Furthermore, collaborations like the Squid Game event lock premium content, including Operator skins, behind paywalls, limiting free-to-play access.

Before purchasing the premium Event Pass, weigh whether a specific reward justifies the approximate $10 / £8.39 cost against other potential in-game or external purchases.
