You’re looking at a 45-day Season 5 Battle Pass with 100 tiers, clear free and premium tracks, and a path to earn back CP. You’ll unlock two free weapons early, while the premium side adds ultra skins, mastercrafts, and Sims as an instant Operator. BlackCell sweetens progression with extra CP and a boost. But the real question is how to route your tiers efficiently to secure the most value—and the most free CP.
Season 5 Overview and Start Dates
Although the action’s already underway, Season 05 of Modern Warfare and Warzone launches with 45 days left on the clock and a fresh Battle Pass to chase. You can dive in now, since the battle pass is live and set for the remainder of the season. It costs 1,100 COD Points and includes 16 pages of rewards, with a chance to earn up to 1,100 COD Points back through progression.
You’ll get free tiers even without purchase, including two new weapons usable in both titles. If you buy in, you instantly unlock Operator Lawrence Sims and gain access to 100 tiers of season‑exclusive items. You can also instantly complete all 100 tiers by purchasing premium access, or opt for BlackCell at $29.99 for extra grants and 1,100 COD Points.
How the Battle Pass System Works in 2025
Kick off Season 05 by understanding the 2025 Battle Pass: a 45‑day track with 100 tiers that you progress through by earning Battle Pass XP from matches and challenges. You’ll move page by page in a play‑to‑unlock structure, with key items gated to specific tiers—like the Lawrence Sims Operator as an instant grant, the PML 5.56 on Page 3, the ABR A1 on Page 6, and the Sims “Envenomate” Ultra Skin at completion.
You can access the pass in two ways. Buy the seasonal pass for 1,100 CP to progress and potentially earn back CP through rewards, or choose the instant access option for 1,000 CP to unlock every tier immediately. BlackCell adds a 10% Battle Pass XP boost, accelerating tier progression.
Free Vs Premium Track: What You Get
Start with what you can get for free: by simply playing, you’ll unlock a set of tiers that include two new Modern Warfare and Warzone weapons plus assorted cosmetics and gameplay items. Free tiers also hand out calling cards, emblems, charms, XP tokens, and some blueprints—solid value without spending a point.
If you want everything, the Premium Battle Pass costs 1,100 COD Points and opens all 100 tiers of season‑exclusive rewards. Only the paid track includes ultra skins, mastercraft/reactive blueprints, and the full slate of premium Operator skins and weapon variants. As you clear the 16 pass pages, you can earn up to 1,100 COD Points back, effectively covering the cost when you complete it. Use community guides and trackers to plan pages and prioritize high‑value unlocks.
Instant Unlocks and Exclusive Operator Skins
If you’re eyeing immediate value beyond the free track, Season 05 front-loads big wins through instant grants and exclusive skins. Buying the Battle Pass instantly unlocks Lawrence Sims, letting you jump in with a fresh Operator without grinding tiers. If you want more, BlackCell delivers Solace on purchase, plus 1,100 COD Points and a 10% Battle Pass XP boost to accelerate skin unlocks across the track. Prefer to skip progression altogether? Spend 1,000 COD Points to instantly unlock every premium tier, including seasonal Operator cosmetics.
- Instant Operators: Sims with the standard Pass; Solace with BlackCell.
- Speed boosts: 10% BP XP from BlackCell, plus 1,100 CP to flex on bundles.
- Completion chase: Sims “Envenomate” Ultra Skin drops only after full Pass completion.
Weapon Blueprints and Meta Highlights
While the operator skins grab attention, Season 05’s weapon rewards are where your loadouts evolve. You’ll unlock blueprints that reshape meta choices, add stat-preserving visuals, and streamline builds without grinding attachments. Early in the pass, the PML 5.56 LMG (Page 3) and ABR A1 AR (Page 6) arrive as base unlocks, then return later as upgraded blueprints to fast-track competitive setups.
Highlight | Why it matters |
---|---|
Long Arm Mastercraft (P13) | Animated effects; standout handling package |
Dragon King Reactive (P14) | Visual tiers scale with streaks; confidence booster |
PML 5.56 LMG | Reliable lane control; blueprint variant refines recoil |
ABR A1 AR | Versatile mid-range; blueprint optimizes TTK windows |
Krig C Mastercraft (BlackCell) | Instant high-end AR cosmetic and tuned feel |
Premium owners access all 100 tiers and season-exclusive variants. Free tiers still deliver two functional weapons for MW and Warzone.
New Weapons and Base Unlock Paths
After spotlighting the standout blueprints, it’s time to secure the base firepower you’ll build around in Season 05. You’ll add two base weapons to your arsenal via the Battle Pass track: the PML 5.56 LMG on Page 3 and the ABR A1 assault rifle on Page 6. The PML 5.56 anchors lanes with heavyweight suppression, while the ABR A1 brings crisp burst control for mid-range picks. Both arrive as non-blueprint bases, ready for your custom tuning.
- Free path: Earn both guns through free tiers by reaching their pages during normal progression.
- Premium path: Buy the Battle Pass for 1,100 CP, then progress to Pages 3 and 6 for guaranteed unlocks.
- Instant unlock offer: When available, spend 1,000 CP to claim all tiers immediately, securing both weapons and setup flexibility.
Vehicle Skins, Finishing Moves, and Cosmetics
Dive straight into Season 05’s style game with a stacked spread of cosmetics that sync across your loadout. You’ll work through a refreshed reward track featuring 100+ items, mixing free and premium unlocks that keep your look consistent from operator to vehicle.
Vehicle skins reskin rides across modes, letting you match camos with operator fits and blueprints. Check the interactive Battle Pass visual page for exact vehicles and patterns, and use Tracker Network’s database for close-up previews.
Finish fights with style: grab the Melee Masher finishing move on Page 10, and, if you buy BlackCell ($29.99), equip its companion finisher. BlackCell also grants Solace and an animated charm that ties into your visual kit.
Round it out with Envenomate (completion), Asphalt (Maya, Page 7), and reactive/mastercraft blueprints.
Tier Skips, Tokens, and Leveling Tips
Locked in your look? Now lock in your tiers. Season 05 packs 100 tiers, and buying the premium pass for 1,000 COD Points grants immediate access to all tiers—essentially a full skip. If you want speed without skipping, BlackCell’s 10% Battle Pass XP boost stacks with your grind and includes an instant 1,100 COD Points. You can also progress purely by playing; free tiers include two new weapons, so steady tier XP keeps you moving without tokens.
- Use BlackCell’s 10% boost, stack daily/weekly challenges, and play high-XP modes to accelerate tier gains.
- Track milestone pages to hit COD Point returns while climbing, minimizing extra spend on skips.
- Prioritize free weapon tiers early, then target premium cosmetics once your XP flow stabilizes.
Earnable COD Points: Total Free CP Breakdown
Here’s the bottom line on earnable COD Points in Season 05: completing the premium Battle Pass awards up to 1,100 CP spread across its 16 pages, effectively refunding the 1,100 CP pass cost if you finish it. You’ll collect CP as you clear each page, but only on the premium track—free tiers don’t award CP this season.
If you buy BlackCell, you instantly receive 1,100 CP separate from the pass. Finish the Battle Pass on top of that, and you can walk away with up to 2,200 CP total (1,100 instant + 1,100 earnable). The Battle Pass costs 1,100 CP (or $9.99), and there’s also an option to unlock all 100 tiers instantly for 1,000 CP. Either way, full completion returns the pass cost in CP.
Best Routes to Maximize Rewards
Start by mapping a 45-day plan that clears all 16 Battle Pass pages while front-loading high-value unlocks and CP returns. Prioritize daily challenges and XP-boosted playlists so you reclaim up to 1,100 COD Points by season’s end. Route early to milestone pages—Page 3 (PML 5.56 LMG), Page 6 (ABR A1 AR), Page 7 (Asphalt Maya skin + 9mm PM Skull Splitter barrel), then finish for the Sims “Envenomate” Ultra Skin. Pair progress with Free Tier goals to grab the two free weapons and cosmetics along the way.
- Stack Double XP windows with the 10% Battle Pass XP boost (and consumables) to blast through pages.
- Only buy BlackCell if you want instant rewards and acceleration.
- Block weekly sessions: challenges first, milestone pages second, cleanup last.
Store Bundles and Cross-Progression Notes
While the Battle Pass covers your baseline grind, store bundles let you shortcut and expand your loadout with instant, cross-game rewards. The Season 05 BlackCell pack ($29.99) grants Solace Operator, a Krig C Mastercraft, an animated charm, a companion finishing move, 1,100 COD Points, and a 10% Battle Pass XP boost right away. It’s a distinct track from free tiers, giving you cosmetics you won’t find through standard progression.
If you want premium access without bundles, spending 1,100 COD Points unlocks the Battle Pass, granting Lawrence Sims and all 100 tiers to grind. Prefer to skip? Buying all tiers outright costs 1,000 COD Points for immediate completion. Items from BlackCell and store bundles carry between Modern Warfare and Warzone. COD Points are account-bound across linked platforms.
Weekly Challenges, Events, and Bonus Rewards
Beyond store bundles and cross-progression perks, your weekly grind packs serious value through rotating challenges and timed events. Season 05 Weekly Challenges award Battle Pass XP and can push 10–25 tiers per week, accelerating your path to the 1,100 COD Points refund. You’ll also snag targeted cosmetics or weapon XP, and if you’re running BlackCell, the built-in 10% Battle Pass XP Boost stacks for faster clears. Time-limited events add score challenges and playlists that drop blueprints and grant XP multipliers to speed through the 100 tiers.
- Track rotations and timers on the interactive Battle Pass page or @CODTracker to hit peak XP windows.
- Chain multiple Weekly Challenges for bonus rewards like Operator Lawrence Sims.
- Secure early-page attachments (PML 5.56 Page 3, ABR A1 Page 6) via seasonal completion milestones.
