Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Season 5 is set to release on August 2 alongside the updated BlackCell Battle Pass upgrade.

Per usual, the upgraded pass will offer a quicker run through the Modern Warfare 2 Season 5 Battle Pass via tier skips along with some exclusive cosmetics such as an operator skin, companion, blueprints, and more.

When it comes to Season 5, fans can expect tons of new content, including new modes, new maps, new events, DMZ updates, an updated battle pass, and some new operator skins for Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj, and 21 Savage. This thing is packed.

For the upgraded pass in particular, this is what those interested in purchasing will be able to snag by buying it:

  • 1,100 COD Points instantly.
  • Access to the full Season 5 Battle Pass and 20 Tier Skips (25 on PlayStation). Includes 1,400 COD Points throughout the Battle Pass.
  • New Operator named Arthur
  • Arthur’s dog Merlin as a companion
  • Virtual Announcer Battle Assistant “Gwen”
  • Pro-Tuned Weapon Blueprint, Finishing Move, custom Parachute, and custom Contrails.
  • Immediate unlocking of adjacent Battle Pass Sectors to the BlackCell Sector.
  • More BlackCell-only Battle Pass content: eight BlackCell Alt Operator Skins, six BlackCell Tracer Weapon Blueprints, and two Vehicle Skins.

The BlackCell Battle Pass will cost US$24.99 if it continues the normal trend.

One of the big immediate benefits of getting the upgrade is the tier skips. This will allow you to unlock the brand new Carrack .300 sniper and FR Avancer assault rifle right away.

The two new weapons are expected to be quite popular, so the faster you can get there, the better.

Those who choose not to purchase the upgrade will still have plenty to do when the new season drops, even if they only play through the free pass.

With Modern Warfare 3 on the horizon, this may be the last season of Modern Warfare 2, so enjoy it!
