MW4 Season 1 Battle Pass: prices, auto catch-up and BlackCell explained

The Season 1 Battle Pass for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 costs 1,100 COD Points. The 2,400 COD Points bundle adds 20 Tier Skip Tokens, while BlackCell includes the pass and its own premium rewards. Activision details these rules in its November 5, 2026 Battle Pass announcement. Season 1 launched on November 6.

Prices and what each option includes

• Battle Pass — 1,100 COD Points: access to the Season 1 Battle Pass.

• Battle Pass Bundle — 2,400 COD Points: the pass plus 20 Tier Skip Tokens.

• BlackCell — the November 5 announcement does not state a cash price. It includes the pass, 20 Tier Skip Tokens and earnable BlackCell content. Check your platform’s store for your local price before buying.

• Vault Edition owners receive the Battle Pass and BlackCell content if they log in during Season 1.

• Upgrading from the Battle Pass to BlackCell returns the 1,100 COD Points spent on the pass.

How automatic catch-up works

The track contains 100 tiers and more than 100 rewards, including two free base weapons: the Cronen Osprey assault rifle and the CSG-35 SMG. With a paid Battle Pass, players who fall behind automatically catch up to the reward matching the current day of the season, up to day 50. Activision describes this as 50+ guaranteed rewards.

Battle Pass owners also receive a 10% Battle Pass XP boost for the season. Active XP tokens pause outside matches. Tier Skip Tokens let players claim rewards ahead of their progress position: up to 10 unlocked tiers ahead with the Bundle and up to 20 with BlackCell. Spending a token does not move that progress position.

What BlackCell adds

XERO unlocks immediately; BlackCell challenges unlock the Cowled and Adder XERO skins. BlackCell includes seven operator skins, seven weapon blueprints and the Enigma Bunker Multiplayer lobby.

DMZ extras include an additional vendor weapon and up to four equipment slots at the FOB, daily rewards that refresh every 24 hours and do not stack, FOB visual upgrades, and a weapon manual for each earned BlackCell blueprint. Uncollected daily rewards are lost when the next reward cycle begins.
