CoD Black Ops 6 & Warzone: Event Pass System, Explained

Black Ops 6 & Warzone Event Pass: A Comprehensive Guide

Call of Duty's live-service model introduces various reward systems, including the popular Battle Pass. A newer addition is the Event Pass, offering a separate progression track for limited-time event cosmetics. This guide details the Event Pass's functionality and value.

What is the Event Pass in BO6 & Warzone?

The Event Pass in Black Ops 6 and Warzone is a tiered reward system linked to specific in-game events. Both free and premium tiers exist, each offering 10 rewards. The premium tier costs 1,100 CoD Points (the same price as the base Battle Pass) and unlocks additional rewards. Cosmetics reflect the event's theme, as demonstrated by the Squid Game collaboration.

Progress is XP-based, similar to other progression systems. Completing all tiers awards a Mastery Reward, often a new weapon or Operator. Unlike challenge-based systems, the Event Pass streamlines reward acquisition, particularly appealing to players focused on event participation. Double XP weekends and tokens significantly accelerate progress. Playing fast-paced modes on smaller maps also boosts XP gain due to increased kill counts, scorestreaks, and objective completions.

Is the BO6 & Warzone Premium Event Pass Worth It?

The premium Event Pass's value depends on individual spending habits and preferences. Regular Battle Pass completers comfortable with in-game purchases may find it worthwhile. Completing the free tier first allows assessment of the premium tier's value before committing 1,100 CoD Points, particularly if you've already invested in the Battle Pass or store bundles.

Remember, rewards are purely cosmetic. Purchase decisions hinge on the value placed on exclusive event content. Collectors or those aiming for complete event participation might find it beneficial. However, players who rarely finish the Battle Pass or prioritize store bundles should carefully consider their CoD Point allocation.

The 1,100 CoD Point price tag, added to the Battle Pass cost and expensive store bundles (2,400-3,000 CoD Points), caused initial controversy. Exclusive collaborations, such as the Squid Game event, often lock desirable content (like themed Operators) behind paywalls, limiting free-to-play access.

Before purchasing the premium Event Pass, carefully evaluate if a specific reward justifies the approximate cost ($10 / £8.39) compared to other in-game or external gaming options.
