CoD: Black Ops 6 & Warzone's Event Pass System Revealed

Unlocking Exclusive Cosmetics in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone's Event Pass

Call of Duty's shift to a live-service model has introduced various systems for acquiring exclusive cosmetic rewards. Central to this is the Battle Pass, complemented by the newer Event Pass, specifically designed for limited-time events. This guide explores the Event Pass in Black Ops 6 and Warzone.

What is the Event Pass?

The Event Pass is a tiered progression system linked to 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 standard Battle Pass) and providing additional, event-themed cosmetics. The completion of all tiers unlocks a Mastery Reward, typically a new weapon or Operator. Unlike challenge-based systems, the Event Pass streamlines reward acquisition. To maximize progress, utilize Double XP weekends and tokens, focusing on fast-paced game modes for quicker XP gain.

Is the Premium Event Pass Worth It?

The value of the premium Event Pass depends on individual player preferences and spending habits. Completing the free tier first allows for a cost-benefit analysis before committing to the 1,100 CoD Point upgrade. The rewards are purely cosmetic. Consider whether the exclusive event content justifies the cost (approximately $10/£8.39). Collectors or players wanting complete event participation might find it worthwhile, while others might prefer saving CoD Points for other in-game purchases or different games. The Event Pass's pricing, especially considering the Battle Pass and other premium bundles, has drawn criticism, particularly as desirable event content, such as collaboration-themed Operators, is often exclusively available through premium options, limiting free-to-play access. Ultimately, weigh the value of specific rewards against your overall budget.
