Call of Duty: Warzone & Black Ops Six's Event Pass

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

Call of Duty's 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, designed for limited-time events. This guide details the Event Pass in Black Ops 6 and Warzone.

What is the Event Pass?

The Event Pass offers a tiered reward system, mirroring the Battle Pass, but focused on specific in-game events. Both free and premium tiers exist, each containing 10 rewards themed around the event. The premium tier costs 1,100 CoD Points (equivalent to the base Battle Pass) and unlocks additional rewards. A Mastery Reward, often a new weapon or Operator, is granted upon completion of all tiers. Unlike previous systems relying on challenges, the Event Pass streamlines reward acquisition, particularly beneficial for players fully engaging with themed events. Boosting XP gain through Double XP Weekends or tokens, playing fast-paced modes, and maximizing kills and objectives are recommended for faster progression.

Is the Premium Event Pass Worth It?

The premium Event Pass is worthwhile for players who consistently complete Battle Passes and are willing to spend extra on in-game content. The free tier provides a taste of the rewards, allowing players to assess whether the 1,100 CoD Point upgrade is justified, especially considering existing investments in Battle Passes or store bundles.

Remember, the rewards are cosmetic. The decision hinges on your valuation of exclusive event content. Collectors or those aiming for complete event participation might find it beneficial. Conversely, players who rarely finish Battle Passes or prioritize store bundles might prefer saving their CoD Points.

The 1,100 CoD Point cost, added to the Battle Pass and potentially expensive store bundles, has sparked debate. Exclusive collaborations, such as the Squid Game event, often place the most desirable content (like themed Operators) behind paywalls, limiting free-to-play access and engagement.

Before purchasing the premium Event Pass, carefully consider if a specific reward justifies the cost (approximately $10 / £8.39) compared to other in-game or alternative game purchases.
