The Warzone and MW3 Season 5 BlackCell Battle Pass comes with a price tag of $29.99, which is similar to the previous seasons. Like the regular Battle Pass, acquiring the BlackCell version enables cross-title progress tracking across Modern Warfare 3 (MW3), Warzone, and the upcoming Warzone Mobile.

It is important to note that COD Points earned in specific Battle Pass tiers will only be accessible on the device or platform where they were unlocked, such as Console, PC, or Mobile.

To illustrate, if you use the same Activision account for both Warzone PC and Warzone Mobile, any COD Points earned in Warzone Mobile won't be usable in Warzone PC.

The customizations however are released via a cross-progression system and players will be able to use all of them in any of the aforementioned titles.

The Warzone and MW3 Season 5 BlackCell Battle Pass is priced significantly higher than the standard Pass, but its premium features warrant the cost. It offers an immediate 1,100 COD Points and 20 additional Battle Token Tier Skips, enabling immediate unlocking of rewards.

The BlackCell Battle Pass includes the new Reckoner skin, along with a new finisher, Inquisitor tracers, and the Divine Enforcement death effect. While it offers great value for collectors, the high cost might deter some players as these items provide no real tactical advantage in the game, only visual appeal.
