Call of Duty to reportedly get an Event Pass like Fortnite in Black Ops 6 and Warzone

Call of Duty recently hinted at a potential Event Pass in an in-game announcement about the Squid Game collaboration in Black Ops 6 and Warzone. This suggests the possibility of a separate microtransaction system allowing players to purchase a pass for exclusive rewards.

While free rewards may still be available, implementing this system could introduce an additional tier of rewards accessible only to Event Pass buyers.

This article explores the potential for Black Ops 6 and Warzone to adopt an Event Pass system similar to Fortnite.

Black Ops 6 and Warzone could introduce an Event Pass feature similar to Fortnite

In a recent in-game announcement, it was stated, "Explore an exhilarating Event Pass, where the Premium Track route allows for more incredible rewards." This suggests the introduction of a mini battle pass, granting access to an exclusive reward tier curated specifically for Event Pass users.

The mention of a "Premium Track route" strongly indicates this as confirmed. However, since developers have not explicitly clarified this further, it remains speculative for now.

Looking at previous events, including the current Archie's Festival Frenzy event, a special reward has been offered to players who own the BlackCell variant of the Battle Pass. This feature, recently introduced in Black Ops 6, aligns with the possibility of implementing a standalone Event Pass system similar to Fortnite.

Additionally, the announcement also confirms that the Premium tier will include the Front Man Operator, a key character from the Squid Game series, and the enigmatic leader of the marked men, serving as a major antagonist.

This system could be a worthwhile addition if priced fairly and paired with rewards that justify the cost.

Currently, the game's reputation is already under strain due to lobbies filled with hackers and cheaters. Despite recent efforts, including banning over 20,000 accounts, the issue persists. Legitimate players are reportedly facing shadowbans, while actual cheaters continue to disrupt the experience.

However, if this pass is overpriced or lacking value, it could harm the game's already fragile image.
