CoD Black Ops 6 & Warzone: Event Pass Unlocked

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

Call of Duty's live-service model introduces various systems for unlocking cosmetic rewards, including the popular Battle Pass and the newer Event Pass. This guide focuses on the Event Pass in Black Ops 6 and Warzone.

What is the Event Pass in BO6 & Warzone?

The Event Pass is a progression system linked to limited-time in-game events. It features free and premium tiers, each offering 10 rewards themed around the event. The premium tier costs 1,100 CoD Points (same price as the base Battle Pass) and unlocks additional rewards. The debut event, a Squid Game collaboration, showcased event-themed cosmetics.

The Event Pass functions similarly to other progression systems, requiring XP to unlock rewards. Completing all tiers grants a Mastery Reward, often a new weapon or Operator. Unlike previous systems relying on challenges or community objectives, the Event Pass streamlines reward acquisition. It's ideal for players fully engaging with themed events.

To maximize progress, utilize Double XP Weekends and Double XP Tokens. Fast-paced game modes and smaller maps boost XP gain through higher kill counts, 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 the Battle Pass 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. The purchase decision hinges on the value placed on exclusive event content. Collectors or players aiming for complete event participation might find it beneficial. However, players who rarely finish the Battle Pass or prefer store bundles might find saving CoD Points more practical.

The Event Pass's 1,100 CoD Point price, in addition to the Battle Pass and expensive store bundles (2,400-3,000 CoD Points), caused initial controversy. Exclusive collaborations, like the Squid Game event, often lock the most desirable content (e.g., character-inspired Operators) behind paywalls, limiting free-to-play access and full event engagement.

Before purchasing the premium Event Pass, assess if a specific reward justifies the cost (approximately $10 / £8.39) compared to other Black Ops 6, Warzone, or alternative game content.
