A lot of content can be unlocked via the battle pass’ free track. But if you want to earn the bulk of the new stuff in this season, you’ll need to purchase the battle pass.

You’ll need to buy CoD Points to unlock the pass. The base battle pass is 1,000 CoD Points, but there’s a more expensive version with 20 tiers of unlocks for 2,400 CoD Points.

On top of all of the cosmetic unlocks, the battle pass also contains 1,300 CoD Points to unlock, meaning you could fund next season’s pass just by playing the game and saving up the points until next season.

Additional tiers can be bought for more CoD Points, so if there’s something catching your eye, you could potentially buy your way to it instantly if you’re willing to foot the bill. The new ISO SMG is unlocked at tier 15 and the AN-94 assault rifle can be acquired by reaching tier 31.
