Black Ops Cold War's Season 5 battle pass is here and Treyarch has revealed a little more about what fans can expect from it going forwards. Of course, they haven't shared everything. However, they have shared enough to get us very interested. Here's the latest ahead of launch.

When does the Season 5 Battle Pass start?
UPDATE: The Season 5 Battle Pass has started and you should be able to start grinding towards Tier 100 now! Good luck.
Following an extension to the Season 4 Battle Pass, the Season 5 Battle Pass is actually going to start 24 hours later than originally expected. This means you won't be able to access the new Black Ops Cold War weapons in either Call of Duty title until at least the following times:
- 21:00 August 12th - PST
- 00:00 August 13th - EST
- 05:00 August 13th - BST
We don't have word on why Season 5 was delayed, but we expect Treyarch to clear everything up later today, on August 11th. It also looks like we'll be seeing the official release of the Season 5 Battle Pass trailer later today too. This comes after it was leaked yesterday...
You can get a bonus Kitsune Operator Skin?
If you're wondering why you should bother buying the Season 5 Battle Pass, maybe a limited-time offer is right up your alley. If you purchase the Season 5 Battle Pass Bundle before August 26th, you'll be able to unlock the Kyubi Operator Skin for Kitsune.
As far as we know, this is exclusive to those who purchase the Battle Pass Bundle, and not just the Battle Pass. The Battle Pass Bundle unlocks the Season 5 Battle Pass and automatically completes the first 25 Tiers.
It's a great way to get one-up on your competitors and helps if you're looking to unlock the new weapons sooner than everyone else.
Battle Pass Rewards, Price, & More
The Battle Pass Trailer leaked above might offer us a great look at some of the new Operator Skins coming to Season 5 in the Battle Pass, but it doesn't tell us when they're going to pop up.
At the moment, these are the Battle Pass rewards we know about...
- Tier 0
- Kitsune Operator Skin
- Tier 15
- EM2 Assault Rifle Base Weapon
- Tier 31
- TEC-9 SMG Base Weapon
- Tier 100
- Ultra-Rarity Kitsune Operator Skin
The Season 5 Battle Pass is going to set you back 1000 COD Points and the Battle Pass Bundle should cost 2,400 COD Points. This is the same price as an Operator Bundle, so the added bonus of unlocking the Kyubi Kitsune Operator Skin helps to make it more worthwhile.
