Activision has shared a whole load of information on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0’s first season ahead of its arrival next Wednesday, 16th November, including details of a major battle pass overhaul.
Ditching the linear level progression still used by most games, Call of Duty’s new battle pass will adopt a system reminiscent of that seen in Fortnite, where players have more freedom in which battle pass items they can unlock and when.
Activision’s battle pass overhaul presents itself as a multi-sector map, with players able to unlock five items in each of its 20 sectors using earned Battle Token Tier skips. These tokens can either unlock more items within an already available sector or unlock adjacent sectors.
Season 1 will see two new weapons – the Victus XMR Sniper Rifle and BAS-P SMG – added to the battle pass, with two more (the Chimera Assault Rifle and M13B Assault Rifle) available either through mid-season store bundles or Weapon Unlock Challenges. It also brings six new Operators: Zeus, Klaus, and Gaz, plus the three previously teased footballer cameos from Neymar Jr., Paul Pogba, and Leo Messi.
