CoD: Event Pass Unveiled for Black Ops 6 and Warzone

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, Black Ops 6 and Warzone now feature the Event Pass, offering a supplementary progression path for unique cosmetics tied to limited-time events. This guide details its functionality and value.

What is the Event Pass?

The Event Pass is a tiered progression system mirroring the Battle Pass, but focused on specific in-game events. Both free and premium tiers exist, each offering 10 rewards themed around the event. The premium tier costs 1,100 CoD Points (equal to the base Battle Pass) and unlocks additional rewards. Its debut during the Squid Game collaboration showcased event-themed cosmetics.

Progress relies on earning XP to unlock rewards. Completing all tiers grants a Mastery Reward, often a new weapon or Operator. Unlike previous systems, the Event Pass streamlines reward acquisition. It's ideal for players fully engaging with themed events and maximizing their cosmetic collection. Double XP weekends and tokens significantly accelerate progress.

Is the Premium Event Pass Worth It?

The premium Event Pass's value depends on individual player habits and spending preferences. Completing the free tier first helps determine if the 1,100 CoD Point upgrade is worthwhile, especially if you've already invested in the Battle Pass or store bundles.

Rewards are purely cosmetic. Consider your priorities: Are exclusive event-themed items worth the approximate $10/£8.39 cost? Collectors or those seeking complete event participation might find it valuable. However, players who rarely finish the Battle Pass or prefer store bundles should carefully weigh the cost against other in-game or even alternative game purchases.

The Event Pass's pricing (adding to the Battle Pass and expensive store bundles) caused initial controversy. Exclusive collaborations, like the Squid Game event, often lock premium content, such as character-inspired Operators, behind paywalls, limiting free-to-play access and full event engagement. Before purchasing, assess if a specific reward justifies the cost.
