What is BlackCell? New MW2 and Warzone 2 battle pass explained

Activision announced a new Battle Pass option coming to Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 3, replacing the current Battle Pass bundle with a new premium option.

Earlier in April, Infinity Ward revealed Season 3 roadmaps for each title. Al Mazrah Resurgence and a new gulag highlight the new additions for Warzone 2. Multiplayer fans have plenty to be excited about, with new maps and Gunfight on the horizon. And as for DMZ, a new barter system and workbench add a layer of depth.

Season 3 also introduces the Cronen Squall battle rifle and FJX Imperium sniper rifle, both of which can be unlocked through the Battle Pass.

BlackCell offers community members a shortcut to unlocking Battle Pass tiers earlier. Here is everything you need to know about the new system.
