Call of Duty's live-service model has introduced various systems for unlocking cosmetic rewards. Beyond the familiar Battle Pass, a new addition—the Event Pass—offers a tiered reward structure tied to limited-time events. This guide explores the Event Pass's functionality and value proposition in Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
The Event Pass provides a progression system linked to specific in-game events. Both free and premium tiers are available, each offering 10 rewards. The premium tier costs 1,100 CoD Points (the same price as the base Battle Pass) and unlocks additional rewards. Rewards are themed to match the event; the Squid Game collaboration, for example, featured cosmetics inspired by the Netflix series.
Progress is earned through XP accumulation. Completing all tiers grants a Mastery Reward, often a new weapon or Operator. Unlike previous systems relying on in-game challenges, the Event Pass streamlines reward acquisition. This makes it attractive for players focused on maximizing event participation and content. To accelerate progress, utilize Double XP Weekends or tokens, and play fast-paced modes on smaller maps to boost XP gains through kills, scorestreaks, and objective completion.
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 offers some rewards, allowing players to assess the premium tier's value (1,100 CoD Points) before committing, especially if they've already purchased the Battle Pass or store bundles.
Rewards are purely cosmetic and non-essential. The purchase decision hinges on the value placed on exclusive event content. Collectors or players aiming for complete event participation might find it appealing. However, players who rarely finish Battle Passes or prefer using CoD Points on store bundles might find saving their points more beneficial.
The Event Pass's 1,100 CoD Point price tag, added to the Battle Pass cost and other premium content (store bundles at 2,400 and 3,000 CoD Points), has caused controversy. Exclusive collaborations, like the Squid Game event, often lock the most desirable content behind paywalls. Operators inspired by series characters are frequently exclusive to premium bundles or the premium Event Pass, limiting free-to-play access and full event engagement.
Before purchasing the premium Event Pass, carefully consider if a specific reward justifies the approximate cost ($10 / £8.39) compared to other content in Black Ops 6, Warzone, or alternative games.
