Call of Duty's live-service model incorporates various reward systems, including the popular Battle Pass. The Event Pass adds another progression layer, providing unique cosmetics during themed events.

What is the Event Pass in BO6 & Warzone?

The Event Pass features free and premium tiers, each with ten rewards themed to the current event. The premium tier costs 1,100 CoD Points (equal to the base Battle Pass) and unlocks additional rewards. Its debut during the Squid Game collaboration showcased event-themed cosmetics.

Progression mirrors other systems; earn XP to unlock rewards. Completing all tiers grants a Mastery Reward (often a weapon or Operator). Unlike challenge-based systems, the Event Pass streamlines reward acquisition, appealing to players focused on event participation. Double XP weekends and tokens significantly accelerate progress. Faster-paced modes and smaller maps generally yield higher XP gains due to increased 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 regularly complete the Battle Pass and are comfortable with additional in-game spending. The free tier provides some rewards, allowing assessment before committing 1,100 CoD Points to the premium version, especially if you've already purchased the Battle Pass or store bundles.

Rewards are purely cosmetic. The purchase decision hinges on your valuation of exclusive event content. Collectors or those aiming for complete event participation might find it beneficial. Conversely, players who rarely finish the Battle Pass or prioritize store bundles should consider saving their CoD Points.

The 1,100 CoD Point price tag, added to the Battle Pass and other premium content (store bundles costing 2,400-3,000 CoD Points), caused initial controversy. Exclusive collaborations, like the Squid Game event, often place desirable content (e.g., character-inspired Operators) behind paywalls, limiting free-to-play access and full event engagement.

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