Understanding and Unlocking Rewards in Call of Duty: A Guide
Call of Duty’s Battle Pass mode has been a popular addition to the game since its introduction in Modern Warfare II in 2022. With its non-linear thematic geography, players have the freedom to choose which rewards they want to unlock, rather than following a set path. For new players accustomed to more traditional linear unlock systems, this can be a bit confusing. Additionally, Call of Duty’s “Token” system used to unlock items in Battle Pass mode can also be a little misleading, especially if you’re unsure whether to let the mode unlock rewards automatically or spend tokens on them.
Understanding Call of Duty’s Battle Pass Mode
Battle Pass mode is composed of multiple “Sectors,” each containing five rewards. Once you obtain all five rewards in a sector, you can complete it and move on to the next one.
As you play Call of Duty, you earn experience points for completing challenges and performing well in matches. By earning experience points, you gradually earn tokens for the Battle Pass mode (you can also spend real money on Call of Duty Points to skip the grind).
You can then spend tokens on each “Sector” of the Battle Pass mode, with each sector requiring five tokens to complete and granting one reward for each token spent (some, like the HRM-9 Sector added during Season 1 Reloaded, can be unlocked through challenges instead of tokens). After spending five tokens on all the rewards in a sector, you can unlock an adjacent sector of your choice and continue spending more tokens there.
It’s worth noting that Battle Pass mode allows you to manually spend tokens or leave it on automatic, with the game unlocking rewards from sectors in the background while you play. You can toggle this option at the bottom right corner of the Battle Pass mode screen.
Should You Manually or Automatically Unlock Battle Pass Rewards?
While auto unlocking Battle Pass rewards is an easy way to let the game decide on unlocking rewards for you, it’s truly beneficial only to those who regularly play Call of Duty, such as on a daily basis. However, if you have limited time, it’s more advantageous to manually unlock sectors, prioritizing those that provide experience bonuses and Call of Duty points as rewards.
Every Battle Pass mode includes Call of Duty points (CP), which can be used to purchase premium Battle Passes for future seasons. If you accumulate all these points, you can focus on a single Battle Pass mode and use the acquired points to purchase the next one.
By planning your path through the Battle Pass sectors manually, you can focus on unlocking Call of Duty points (as well as XP bonuses to earn tokens faster) and spend them on future seasons.
Seasons in Call of Duty can pass quickly if you don’t play every day. Utilizing your time by spending tokens on Call of Duty points is the best way to prioritize your time.
