In addition to unlocking a seasonal Battle Pass, players can head over to the COD HQ Store and purchase the BlackCell Pass for $29.99. Unlike the standard pass, players will not have the opportunity to spend accumulated COD Points and must invest the cash in order to gain access to these additional benefits, including a completely unique sector available only through purchasing the BlackCell Battle Pass.

Players are not paying 30 bucks simply for a sector worth of unique rewards - in addition to instantly unlocking the BlackCell Sectors 5 items, players will also receive 1100 COD Points, 20 Battle Pass Tokens to spend instantly, and access to BlackCell weapon and operator skin variants, featuring unique camos and weapon stats.

For die-hard Call of Duty players, or collectors of the ingame skins, the BlackCell pass cannot be passed up. Players will receive over 20 additional rewards throughout the course of the battle pass, including 10 BlackCell Operator Skins and 6 BlackCell Weapon Blueprints. When combined with the COD Points and other rewards provided in the BlackCell Sector on the Battle Pass, the total value of the BlackCell pass stretches over 7000 COD Points, roughly equivalent to $55 dollars for players based in the United States. For players already investing extra cash into Modern Warfare 3 to deck out their operator, the overall value of the BlackCell pass is immense for the $30 price point - especially if players are already considering buying $10-$20 worth of COD points to access the base Battle Pass.
