Black Ops Cold War Season 5 Battle Pass
The Black Ops Cold War Season 5 battle pass features;
- New Operators and Skins
- 100 Tiers of Content
- New Weapons and Cosmetics
- Enough Call of Duty Points to pay for the next battle pass if you complete it.
New Call of Duty Game Reveal
We are expecting the announcement of a new Call of Duty game soon, believed to be called Vanguard. This means that Black Ops Cold War Season 5 could be the second to last season before the new game is revealed.
We're unsure how this will affect future content as both Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War are receiving content in each new battle pass. This could mean that the battle pass extends further to include content for Vanguard or content stops for Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War.
