Announcing the Season 03 Battle Pass

A new season brings new Sectors to conquer in the upcoming Season 03 Battle Pass for Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® II and Call of Duty®: Warzone™ 2.0.

The new Battle Pass for Season 03 features 100+ rewards across 22 Sectors, including two new functional weapons and the addition of Operators Valeria Garza and Alejandro Vargas from the Modern Warfare® II Campaign.

Upgrade to the full Battle Pass for 1,100 COD Points for access to all of Season 03’s regular Battle Pass items, or purchase BlackCell, the brand-new Battle Pass offering for an additional Sector, bringing the total up to 23, as well as earning additional Battle Token Tier Skips. See below for more details!

Here’s what you’ll find in this Battle Pass, starting with a brand-new offering:

New Battle Pass Offering: BlackCell

Launching in Season 03, BlackCell allows you to step up to a higher class of combat excellence within the Battle Pass system and includes over 7,000 COD Points of value, everything that was originally in the Battle Pass Bundle, along with additional exclusive content:

• Access to the full Season 03 Battle Pass and 20 Tier Skips.
• 1,100 COD Points instantly awarded.
• 1,400 COD Points awarded throughout the Battle Pass.
• A BlackCell Operator, attired in an imposing animated Camo Skin.
• Additional, BlackCell-only Battle Pass content: Every Season 03 Battle Pass Sector with an Operator Skin has a BlackCell variant (12 Skins in total) to unlock.
• A Pro-Tuned Weapon Blueprint, Vehicle Skin, and Finishing Move.
• An exclusive BlackCell Sector within the Battle Pass AO serving as an alternative starting location.
• Immediate unlocking of adjacent Battle Pass Sectors to the BlackCell Sector.
• Players who upgrade to BlackCell after purchasing the Battle Pass will also receive 1,100 CP back

Battle Pass Update: Automatic Pathing

In addition to the BlackCell offering, the Battle Pass has an updated and streamlined way to unlock content through the addition of an Automatic Pathing feature.

Those who don’t mind what they earn first and who simply want to rack up hours in-game can choose to automatically have the Battle Pass chart an effective path through the different AO Sectors. Players can also choose to manually earn Battle Token Tier Skips and spend them as they did in prior seasons.

There is still the option to unlock Battle Pass sectors manually, and players can switch between Automatic and Manual pathing at any time during the season, which is great for those who don’t mind what other rewards they earn after they get their favorites.

Purchase the Battle Pass to Unlock Valeria and Alejandro

Though they once served together in the Mexican Special Forces, Valeria Garza and Alejandro Vargas are now adversaries. Valeria rose to become El Sin Nombre, leading the Las Almas Cartel, while Alejandro went on to become an important ally of the legendary Task Force 141.

Players who purchase the Season 03 Battle Pass can unlock the C0 Bonus Sector and gain immediate access to the default Skins for both Operators.

Alejandro: Born and raised in Las Almas, Alejandro spent over a decade as a high-ranking member of Los Fuerzeas Especiales, the Tier 1 Mexican Army Special Mission counterterror unit. His unit, Los Vaqueros, is the only one in the country authorized to work alongside international Special Operations Forces, including those at the CIA headed by station chief Kate Laswell.

Valeria: Valeria is a ruthless and cunning Operator who always remains calm under pressure. Whether she’s interrogating enemies or firing the first shot in a shoot-out, Valeria earns her cartel members’ loyalty every day through her incredible resolve and ability to plan ahead like a true criminal mastermind, all while recruiting more to her ranks with generous donations from the cartel’s coffers.

In addition to unlocking these two Operators, the Bonus Sector also awards the gilded “El Dorado” Weapon Blueprint, plus 150 COD Points and a 10% Battle Pass Boost.

New Weapon HVTs in Sectors C4, C11

Up your long-range game with two new free functional weapons located in the Season 03 area of operations: a new Sniper Rifle and Battle Rifle.

FJX Imperium Sniper Rifle — (Sector C4, HVT, Free) 

Engineered destruction at its finest, this anti-personnel, bolt-action sniper rifle intervenes in tense situations with hard-hitting .408 rounds.

The FJX Imperium gives that classic Call of Duty® feel as a high-damage, bolt-action Sniper Rifle that’s absolutely deadly in the right hands. It also features a new attachment type for its weapon class with the carry handle, including a tactical and heavy version.

Regardless of how you build out the weapon, it’s quality over quantity with the FJX Imperium: with the lowest fire rate in its class and just five rounds per reload, you’ve got to make those shots count.

Cronen Squall Battle Rifle — (Sector C11, HVT, Free) 

A fully automatic, open-bolt bullpup rifle chambered in 6.8 Wrath dominates midrange combat with a fast rate of fire and high damage output. Switch to semi-automatic for powerful, controlled long-range engagements.

With the best range and fire rate in its class, the Cronen Squall is a worthy contender across all modes. Among its other Gunsmith attachments, choose from six different ammo types for its powerful 6.8 rounds and up your reserves with two options for extended magazines, including a mighty 50-round drum attachment.

Keep an eye out for a variety of new Weapon Blueprints throughout the Season 03 Battle Pass, including highlights like the “Course Champion” Battle Rifle in Sector 01, the “La Araña” Assault Rifle in Sector 09, the “Dead Center” Sniper Rifle in Sector 17, and the “Viborón” Battle Rifle in Sector 18.

New HVT Operator Skins at Sectors C10, C15, C20

Season 03 comes packed with seven new Operator Skins in addition to the ones available for Valeria and Alejandro. Whether you’re dropping into the new Gunfight maps, Core maps, or Battle maps, these kits will ensure that you’re ready to compete and look good in the process.

“Road Rage” Farah Operator Skin (Sector C10, HVT)

Dressed in faded jeans, a tank top, and goggles stretched over a hooded shawl, Farah returns in her outfit from the Campaign mission “Violence and Timing.” You’ll need both to succeed in the deployments ahead.

“El Santo” Gus Operator Skin (Sector C15, HVT)

Gus ditches the tactical accessories for a flashier look, donning a scorpion-emblazoned red vest, a studded belt, gray slacks, and a holster.

“Nightwar” Ghost Operator Skin (Sector C20, HVT)

Alongside his iconic mask and sleek tactical gear, this Ghost Operator Skin comes equipped with night vision goggles, making him more than ready to deploy to the Black Gold Core Map, the first night map to launch in Multiplayer with Season 03.

Complete the Map for Victory Sector Rewards

Get 100% map completion by conquering all 20 Sectors. This gives you access to the final Victory Sector, which features the following items:

“El Sin Nombre” Valeria Operator Skin

El Sin Nombre — “the Nameless One” — is ready for business, and she’s more than willing to work outside the law. Sporting black leather pants, a gold chain, and face tattoos, this Operator Skin is sure to frighten off all but the most courageous enemies.

“La Espina” Battle Rifle Blueprint

Based on the new Battle Rifle releasing with Season 03, this red, black, and gold Weapon Blueprint fits perfectly in the hands of a cartel leader like El Sin Nombre. It features five attachments, including 6.8 Composite ammunition for improved handling and greater reserve ammo. Like the scorpions inlaid on its surface, this weapon stings.

“Vaquero” Alejandro Operator Skin

No matter the foe, Alejandro is always one step ahead. His military garb and climbing equipment ensure that he’s ready to deploy at a moment’s notice, tackling even the most difficult terrain if it means bringing his target to justice.

“Vaquero 141” Sniper Rifle Weapon Blueprint

Alejandro’s weapon of choice, the “Vaquero 141” Weapon Blueprint is named and stylized after the elite unit of the Mexican Special Forces led by him. It comes equipped with six attachments and is based on the new Sniper Rifle releasing with Season 03. With a weapon this strong in your hand, the cartels won’t stand a chance.

300 COD Points

Save up for the next Battle Pass or put them toward the purchase of a new Store Bundle.

Remember: If you have BlackCell, both Alejandro and Valeria get an additional Operator Skin at this Tier, and you get an additional 10 additional Operator Skins total, all exclusive to BlackCell, through completing the Battle Pass. More intel on BlackCell can be found here.
