Call of Duty's live-service model features various reward systems. The Battle Pass, a tiered reward system, is a core element. The Event Pass complements this, providing another progression path for unique cosmetics during themed events.

What is the Event Pass in BO6 & Warzone?

The Event Pass offers free and premium tiers, each with ten rewards. The premium tier costs 1,100 CoD Points (the same as the base Battle Pass) and unlocks additional rewards. Rewards reflect the event's theme, as demonstrated by the Squid Game collaboration.

Progress is earned through XP. Completing all tiers grants a Mastery Reward (often a weapon or Operator). Unlike previous systems relying on challenges, the Event Pass streamlines reward acquisition. It's ideal for players wanting to fully participate in themed events.

To maximize progress, utilize Double XP Weekends and tokens. Fast-paced modes and smaller maps boost XP gain through higher kill counts and objective completions.

Is BO6 & Warzone Premium Event Pass Worth It?

The premium Event Pass is worthwhile for players who regularly complete the Battle Pass and are willing to spend extra on in-game content. The free tier provides some rewards; completing it helps determine if the premium upgrade (1,100 CoD Points) is justified, especially if you've already purchased the Battle Pass or store bundles.

Rewards are purely cosmetic. The decision to buy depends on the value placed on exclusive event content. Collectors might find it appealing, while players who rarely finish the Battle Pass or prefer store bundles might save their CoD Points.

The 1,100 CoD Point price tag, in addition to the Battle Pass and other premium content (2,400-3,000 CoD Points), caused initial controversy. Exclusive collaborations, like the Squid Game event, lock desirable content (e.g., Operator skins) behind paywalls, limiting free-to-play access.

Before purchasing, consider if a specific reward justifies the cost (approximately $10 / £8.39) compared to other in-game or external spending options.
