How to Unlock the Nolan Operator in MW3 and Warzone Season 1

season 1 battle pass

To unlock the Nolan Operator in Season 1, players must purchase the standard Battle Pass, which costs 1,100 COD points. Players who buy the standard Battle Pass get 100+ unlockable rewards and can earn 1,400 COD points when they complete all its sectors. This allows players to recover most of the 1,100 COD points they spent purchasing the standard version.

It’s essential to note that players can only purchase the standard Battle Pass using COD points and not real-world money. The 1,100 COD points translate to $9.99, which is relatively affordable for most players. The easiest way to get COD points is to complete available Battle Pass missions.

The current Battle Pass system in Call of Duty lets players earn points in two categories:

  • Free Battle Pass missions: Players can earn 400 COD points
  • Full Battle Pass: Players can earn 1,000 COD points

Players who have completed previous COD Battle Passes can use their accumulated points to buy the Season 1 Battle Pass and recover the cost by completing all its sectors. Alternatively, if players haven’t completed previous Battle Passes, they can buy the BlackCell Battle Pass, which includes the standard Battle Pass version and an additional 1,100 COD points.

The BlackCell Battle Pass costs $29.99, and players must use real-world currency to purchase it. This means they can’t use COD points worth $29.99 to get the BlackCell Battle Pass.
