Call of Duty Season 5 is set to launch on July 23, bringing with it a comprehensive Battle Pass for Black Ops 7 and Warzone. Activision has detailed the contents, which include more than 100 items across free and premium tiers, featuring two new weapons, a returning operator, and various cosmetic enhancements.
The standard $10 Battle Pass grants an immediate unlock for the stealth specialist operator, Spectre, who makes a comeback from previous Black Ops titles. The pass also includes new skins for other notable operators such as Richtofen, Dempsey, and Reaper EWR-3. Alongside these, Call of Duty's premium $30 BlackCell pass returns, offering exclusive BlackCell-themed cosmetics for the Cipher operator and additional skins for the JSOC and Guild factions within Black Ops 7.
New Arsenal and Operator Unlocks
Season 5 introduces two new weapons that will be available through the free tiers of the Battle Pass. The FG42, a full-auto assault rifle described as well-rounded, is unlocked as a High Value Target (HVT) reward on page three. Accompanying it is the Gremlin, a full-auto submachine gun with enhanced mobility and handling, available for free on page six.
The Battle Pass also features numerous weapon blueprints. The "Dead End" blueprint for the Hawker HX sniper rifle is an HVT reward on page four, with a BlackCell variant also available. The "Odium" blueprint for the new FG42 assault rifle is an HVT reward on page 15, also receiving a BlackCell variant.
Spectre, known for his stealth capabilities, is an instant unlock for those who purchase the premium Battle Pass. His inclusion also brings a BlackCell variant for those who opt for the higher-tier bundle. The instant rewards for purchasing the standard Battle Pass include a 10% Battle Pass XP Boost, the Spectre operator, the "Dawn Shred" Legendary Blueprint for the Voyak KT-3 Assault Rifle, the "Swift Talent" Emote, and the "Make an Entrance" Animated Calling Card.
The $30 BlackCell bundle further enhances the immediate unlocks with the "Cipher" BlackCell Operator Skin, along with three alternate skins earnable through challenges. It also includes the "Vindex" Mastercraft Blueprint for the Sturmwolf 45 SMG with special effects, the "Riddlefang" Knife Melee Blueprint, 1,100 CoD Points, the "Meat Grinder" Finishing Move, the "Phobia" Weapon Charm, the "BlackCell No. 5" HUD Theme, the "BlackCell" Clan Tag, and a 10% XP Loyalty Boost.
