In Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, you can grind the Battle Pass in Season 1 starting tonight.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is also getting its Battle Pass today with the launch of Season 1. Warzone 2 will also be releasing at the same time. Shortly before release, there’s a whole bunch of new information about the shooter’s Battle Pass. If you want to know what you can unlock and how it all works, you’ve come to the right place.
Here’s how the new Battle Pass works in Warzone 2 and MW 2
Season 1 begins: CoD Modern Warfare 2 can be played for a while, but the Activision shooter hasn’t gotten a Battle Pass yet. That changes tonight with the launch of Season 1 and Warzone 2.0.
This new trailer shows how the Battle Pass works and looks like:

CoD Warzone 2 & Modern Warfare 2 – Season 1 Battle Pass in the trailer
New system with sectors: The Battle Pass no longer unlocks sequentially in a linear fashion. Instead, we get tokens that we can use as we please to unlock individual sectors or their contents. It makes the whole thing a bit more strategic and we have the choice to grab the things we like best first and leave out other things.
There are five different items in each sector and they all cost a so-called Battle Token Tier Skip. We unlock them by playing normal multiplayer games (also in Warzone 2.0). There are 100 in total in the first season. If you don’t spend your tokens, you have to live with the fact that they are automatically issued at the end of the season and random things are unlocked.
Always premium: As usual, the Battle Pass is divided into a free part and a premium part. If you pay, you unlock bonus sectors and, therefore, more content. So if you really want to unlock everything, you have to pay.
First and foremost there are cosmetic items such as weapon camos, operators (skins) and others. At 100% you get the golden Olympus King skin with the corresponding weapon blueprint (via: Call of Duty blog).
Here’s what the CoD MW2 and Warzone 2 Battle Pass looks like with its sectors. On the left you can see the golden skin.
The Battle Pass Brings These Weapons and Operators
4 new weapons: But the Battle Pass also unlocks all-new weapon platforms. If you want the two extra weapons, you need a total of 30 Level Skip Tokens. Then you get these two new Shooting Clubs, which are also available without the Premium Battle Pass:
The M13B Assault Rifle not part of the Battle Pass, but can be purchased in the store or unlocked through a challenge. Theoretically, this can already be done directly at the launch of season 1.
Later (probably December 14) there will be that too Chimera aka Honey Badger at. Both weapons belong to the same weapons platform as the BAS-P SMG, i.e. the Bruen Ops platform. This SMG is also available as a store pack or via an unlock challenge.
New Operators: From the start of the new season, all premium purchasers have access to Zeus with their Battle Pass. As the season progresses, Klaus and Gaz join them. The three footballers Pogba, Neymar and Messi are available in time-limited bundles.
Tons of new skins you can unlock existing Operators with the Battle Pass. For example, there’s the Roze Blackout skin (again, quite dark) or the Ursidae skin for Zero. Kortac’s band skin, The Unseen, is also nice to look at.
