Overview:

Season 1 Battle Pass and BlackCell: 50+ Guaranteed Rewards!

The Season 1 Battle Pass is packed with 100+ Rewards, including a brand-new catch-up system that guarantees 50+ rewards in the Battle Pass. In addition to the normal unlocking of Battle Pass content, players who fall behind in the Battle Pass will be automatically caught up to the Reward matching the current day of the season, up to day 50.

The Battle Pass itself is easier to navigate: Log in to collect your rewards and keep playing to unlock an easy-to-follow 100-tier track filled with additional Operator Skins, Weapon Blueprints, Finishing Moves, Calling Cards, Weapon Charms, Reticles, and more.

How Do I Purchase the Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 Battle Pass?

You can purchase the Season 1 Battle Pass in one of four different ways:

Players who purchase the Battle Pass Bundle can use their Tier Skip Tokens to access any of the 10 unlocked tiers ahead of their current position, while BlackCell users can grab rewards from up to 20 tiers ahead.

Season 1: Main Battle Pass and BlackCell Operators

Get more intel on featured Season 1 Operators Blix and XERO, who both excel in the art of stealth and precision.

Blix (Battle Pass, Launch)

Battle Pass Instant Reward

A former South Korean Special Warfare Command operator, Blix was captured during a covert border mission and held for years. After surviving imprisonment, he was transferred through a network of foreign captives and deployed into proxy conflicts.

War reshaped his view of combat into an absolute doctrine. He began tattooing survival codes and tactical principles across his skin, turning himself into a living archive. His mechanical efficiency and indifference to pain drew the attention of masked mercenary leader Nikto, who recruited him as a premier operative. Now in the Exclusion Zone, Blix carries out each objective with silent, disciplined precision.

XERO (BlackCell, Launch)

BlackCell Instant Reward

BlackCell has no record of XERO before a classified development program involving behavioral conditioning, synthetic identities, and experimental combat training. His designation traces back to X-0, an internal prototype number later replaced by a single name: XERO.

Field personnel describe him as unnervingly controlled, with flashes of memory tied to places and people absent from his official history. BlackCell refuses to explain them. Some believe his identity was erased; others suspect he was assembled from failed subjects. One theory is more disturbing: BlackCell created XERO’s past where none existed.

Now deployed when an operation requires complete deniability, XERO remains one of BlackCell’s most closely controlled assets.
