BLACK OPS 6 SEASON 1 EARLY BATTLEPASS SNEAK PEAK | BLACKCELL BUNDLE PREVIEW

Black Ops 6 & Warzone Season 1 begins on November 14th, at 9am PT, 11am CT, 12pm EST. The long-awaited Black Ops 6 released this past October & just a little under a month later, we’ve been given the reveal of Season 1 of content! This season brings in a new Operator from the campaign, returns fan favorite weapons, the returning BlackCell offering, & a plethora of new rewards for players to earn & enjoy. Not to mention, the Battle Pass runs under a New System! Let’s go over everything new to the Battle Pass & BlackCell with Black Ops 6 Season 1:

NEW & IMPROVED BATTLEPASS SYSTEM

New & Improved Battle Pass system you say? Indeed. But how does this new system work? We seemingly will no longer be seeing sector maps going forward. Let’s examine:

Turning the Page: The Season 1 Battle Pass Expanded Overview

The Season 1 Black Ops 6 Battle Pass is brimming over with content, which is both showcased and unlocked in a brand new “Page” system. Think of the Battle Pass as a book, with two front pages of Instant Rewards (one BlackCell), then 100 in-game Battle Pass rewards across 14 Pages and a Completion Page that is instantly unlocked once all other Pages are completed. Pages include Free and Paid content. As always, all Base Weapons are free to unlock.

Starting Your Battle Pass Journey: Page 1

As you start your new Battle Pass journey, the Instant Reward Page and Page 1 is unlocked by default. All the other Pages are locked but can be previewed. Your goal is to complete the Battle Pass and access the 100 percent Completion Page at the end of the Battle Pass.

Each Page contains a slight variation on the following:

Around six item rewards (known as “Tiers”) that are unlocked in any order you wish within the Page. Each requires an earned Battle Token to unlock.
Each Page contains two free Tier rewards. The rest are unlocked via purchasing the Battle Pass Bundle or BlackCell.
An “HVT” (High Value Target) Tier reward that is unlocked once the previous items are unlocked. This is usually an Operator Skin or Weapon Blueprint, and sometimes there’s a BlackCell variant.
When both the regular and HVT Tiers are unlocked (usually a total of seven Tiers), the Page is complete.
Battle Pass owners can elect to automatically or manually unlock reward item Tiers as they reach them.

Battle Tokens: Unlocking a Page

Battle Tokens return to the Battle Pass and work in a similar way to those in previous Battle Passes. A Token Bank is displayed in the top-right corner of your Battle Pass. These are used to unlock the 100 individual reward Tiers across all 14 Pages.

You spend these Tokens on any available Tier reward on an unlocked Page.
You can automatically unlock Tier rewards as you play, and not store up any earned Tokens. Players without the Battle Pass earn rewards in a linear order and have no access to Tokens.
Or you can earn Battle Tokens and Claim Tiers and manually unlock Pages later in the Battle Pass (only available if you purchase the Battle Pass or BlackCell offering).
Earning five total Tier rewards on a single page unlocks the next Page in the Battle Pass, meaning you don’t have to complete a single Page to access the next Page.
This means you can choose to claim Tier rewards on the current or any new Page.
Every subsequent Page requires five further total Tiers to be unlocked from any unlocked Page. The number of Tiers required to unlock each Page is displayed on that Page.

Unlocking Later Pages

If there are specific Tiers you’re particularly interested in unlocking, you simply need to accrue enough Battle Tokens to unlock the Page and its Tier content.

For example, if you have BlackCell and 20 Tokens, and Page 6 of the Battle Pass requires 18 more Tiers to unlock, you simply spend your Tokens to access the Page and choose the 18 Tier Rewards from Pages 1-6.

Remember, there are seven total Tier reward unlocks per Page, but only five Tiers are needed to unlock each Page. This means you can save some Tokens for future Pages.

BlackCell owners receive an added Bonus of being able to unlock any Battle Pass Page and start unlocking Tier Rewards on that Page.

BLACKCELL OFFERING

BlackCell Offerings and Vault Edition Upgrade

Join the molten, crystalized skull-headed Goliath as he stalks the epic Season 1 BlackCell content.

Or you can progress from the start of the Battle Pass Page 1 as normal.
NEW: Exclusive access to BlackCell-themed rewards available during Season 1 Events, offering you earnable content throughout the Season.

SEASON 1 WEAPONS/ATTACHMENTS

There will be two new weapons available in the Battle Pass of Season 1 in Black Ops 6.

PRIMARY WEAPON: KRIG C (LAUNCH)

[Assault Rifle, Battle Pass Page 3 HVT Tier Reward, Page 14 Battle Pass Blueprint]

Levels: 43

MAGS: 3

MAG SIZE: 30

Mastery Badges: Yes

Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods

Customize Options: Skins, Reticle Unlocks, Weapon Camos, Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers 3).

Full-auto assault rifle. High damage and average handling. Recoil pattern starts very controllable before ramping up.

For a hard-hitting, versatile Assault Rifle that performs well across multiple ranges, look no further than the Krig C. The weapon inflicts moderate damage across the whole body with a four-shot elimination within its effective range. Recoil control becomes shakier through sustained fire, so burst fire to retain accuracy or consider attachments offering improved control to help counter the ramped-up movement.

PRIMARY WEAPON: SAUG (LAUNCH)

[SMG, Battle Pass Page 3 HVT Tier Reward, Page 11 Battle Pass Blueprint]

Levels: 39

MAGS: 4

MAG SIZE: 36

Mastery Badges: Yes

Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods

Customize Options: Skins, Reticle Unlocks, Weapon Camos, Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers 3).

Fully automatic submachine gun. Excellent mobility and good handling. Great rate of fire. High recoil.

Pepper your enemies with a hailstorm of lead using this rapid-fire SMG that’s perfect for breaching and clearing small spaces. The Saug kicks up like a horse when fired down sights; pull down when aiming to counter the recoil or better yet improve the weapon’s already great hip-fire capabilities with the appropriate attachments, including the Tactical Laser for a killer combo of mobility and accuracy via Tactical Stance. Or go all out on hip-fire with the Akimbo Saug Stock for unmatched SMG firepower.

12 GAUGE DRAGON’S BREATH [LAUNCH)

[Shotguns, Fire Mod, Battle Pass Page 7 Reward]

Add some heat to your Shotgun blasts with incendiary rounds comprised of magnesium sparks that stick to and burn enemies over time. Equipping the 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath Fire Mod prevents using Barrel Attachments, but the tradeoff is well worth it when seeking a fiery finish.

SEASON 1 OPERATORS

Two new Operators will be joining the roster this Season, Sevati “Sev” Dumas & Goliath.

Goliath (BlackCell, Rogue Black Ops, Launch)

“Goliath” Skin: BlackCell Instant Reward Page

Solidify your fiery combat mastery as the molten man of fire himself, Goliath! All biographical information for this Operator has been [REDACTED].

Sevati “Sev” Dumas (Battle Pass, Rogue Black Ops, Launch)

“Sev” and “Opulent” Skins: Battle Pass Instant Reward Page, Battle Pass Completion Page

“It’s all about influence and control.” – Sevati “Sev” Dumas

A main player in the Rogue Team after the conclusion of the Campaign, Sev is ready to make a deal with the untrustworthy French Syndicate and is gearing up to take down the rival Luttazzi family to prove it. Sporting two different Skins depending on the infiltration mission at hand, Sev is more than ready to lead the charge.
