Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 & Warzone: Event Pass Unveiled

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 & Warzone Event Pass: A Comprehensive Guide

Call of Duty's live-service model has introduced various systems for acquiring exclusive cosmetic rewards. The Battle Pass is a staple, but a newer addition is the Event Pass, offering a separate progression track for limited-time events. This guide details the Event Pass in BO6 and Warzone.

What is the Event Pass in BO6 & Warzone?

The Event Pass is a progression system linked to specific in-game events. Both free and premium tiers exist, each boasting 10 individual rewards. The premium tier costs 1,100 CoD Points (the same price as the base Battle Pass) and unlocks additional rewards. Cosmetics align with the event's theme; the Squid Game collaboration, for instance, featured themed cosmetics.

The Event Pass functions similarly to other progression systems, requiring XP to unlock rewards. Completing all tiers grants a Mastery Reward, typically a new weapon or Operator. Unlike previous systems reliant on in-game challenges, the Event Pass streamlines reward acquisition. It's ideal for players wanting to fully participate in themed events.

To maximize progress, utilize Double XP Weekends and Double XP Tokens. Playing fast-paced modes on smaller maps boosts XP gain through increased kills, scorestreaks, and objective completions.

Is the BO6 & Warzone Premium Event Pass Worth It?

The premium Event Pass is a worthwhile investment for players who consistently complete Battle Passes and are comfortable with additional in-game spending. The free tier provides some rewards, allowing players to assess whether the 1,100 CoD Point upgrade is justified, particularly if they've already purchased the Battle Pass or store bundles.

Rewards are purely cosmetic and non-essential for gameplay. The decision hinges on the value placed on exclusive event content. Collectors or players aiming for complete event content may find it appealing. However, those who rarely finish Battle Passes or prefer using CoD Points on store bundles should consider saving their points.

The 1,100 CoD Point price tag, added to the Battle Pass cost 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 desirable 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 if a specific reward justifies the cost (approximately $10 / £8.39) compared to other content in BO6, Warzone, or other games.
