Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has received its first big seasonal update, adding more remastered multiplayer maps, additional Zombies story missions, and the first Battle Pass for Modern Warfare 3 (2023). Players can progress through 20 brand new sectors in the Season 1 Battle Pass, unlocking over 100 individual rewards ranging from double XP tokens to rare weapon blueprints. For the first time, players will also be able to earn rewards specifically for the Zombies mode, including Aetherium Crystal and Legendary Aether Tool acquisitions.
To unlock the Battle Pass, players will want to head to the Battle Pass tab in the COD HQ and spend 1100 COD Points to unlock the standard pass rewards or purchase the BlackCell pass available in the COD HQ Store for $29.99. Once players have access to the pass, they will be able to progress through available sectors, spending Battle Pass tokens to claim rewards. Once the first four rewards in a sector are claimed, the final rewards for the sector can be unlocked, giving players access to awesome rewards like Operator Skins and Weapon Blueprints.
Throughout the full pass, players can claim over 1000 Cod Points and 3 brand new weapons - here is every reward available in Modern Warfare 3's Season 1 Battle Pass.
