Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 starts November 6 and Activision has detailed the Battle Pass, BlackCell and new weapons. The standard Battle Pass costs 1,100 COD Points and the bundle costs 2,400 COD Points. The Season 1 Battle Pass has a new catch-up system, which is the biggest change.

How much is the MW4 Season 1 Battle Pass?

The Battle Pass is 1,100 COD Points. The Bundle is 2,400 COD Points and also gives access to the catch-up system and instant rewards, including a 10% XP boost, up to 1,100 COD Points back, the "Downpour" Blix skin, the "Fortune's Favor" FiNN blueprint, "Happy Boom" sticky grenade blueprint and a DMZ Survival Kit.

What is the new catch-up system?

If you fall behind on the premium pass, you are automatically brought up to the reward matching the current day of the season, up to day 50. Activision says this guarantees 50+ premium rewards.

What are the new Season 1 weapons?

Weapon	Type	Unlock	Fire rate	Mag / reserve
Cronen Osprey	Assault rifle	Battle Pass tier 16	882 RPM	30 / 90
CSG-35	SMG	Battle Pass tier 36	1200 RPM	28 / 112
JAK 12	Shotgun	Event, in-season	323 RPM	8 / 16
ZLR Talonhawk	Melee axe	Event, in-season	n/a	n/a

Activision says the Osprey is rivaled only by the M4 for fire rate and kicks up and to the right in sustained fire. The CSG-35 has the highest fire rate in its class and excels within about 20 meters. Its Apex attachment, CSG Crossfire, lets you dual-wield.

What events start in Season 1?

The Wager Match Event launches first, with Trophies as currency and Apex attachments like Hyeon Auto and Kastov 545 as rewards. Camo events and a Joint Fire squad XP event follow. Read our X01 guide for DMZ events.

Verdict

The catch-up system makes buying mid-season less risky, and the two launch weapons sit in clear niches. Free base weapons and items are also in the pass. See deals for COD Points offers.
