Recruit Anna Drake, Instantly Unlock Additional Rewards with Battle Pass Purchase

Purchasing the Season Two Battle Pass gives you the following instant rewards at Tier 0:

New Operator — Anna Drake

Born in Vienna and witness to the Axis destroying everything she loved, Anna Drake will stop at nothing to bring vengeance down on those who hunt the vulnerable.

Learn more about her, and the rest of Task Force Yeti, in our biographical overview for this new squad here.

Anna Drake comes with her cold-weather gear via the default “Overcoat” Skin, and calls the brand-new KG M40 her Favorite Weapon. Level her up to unlock thousands of Player XP and Weapon XP for the KG M40, two additional Operator Skins, two Quips, a chilling new Finishing Move, and more.

Constanze Skin, Double Weapon XP Token, and Seasonal XP Boost

Those who pick up the Battle Pass also receive these instant rewards, along with access to all content across its 100 Tiers:

Rare “Black Leaf” Constanze Müller Skin: Simple and practical, Constanze’s favorite black jacket and gear combo is fit for any mission.

Season Two XP Boost: Get closer to Prestige Master quicker with a 10% XP boost, which stacks on top of the 10% boost you get in Warzone just for owning Vanguard, in addition to other boosts from tokens, favored weapons, or other means.

45-Minute Double Weapon XP Token: This is perfect for leveling up those new armaments.

Get Bundled Up With an Exclusive Skin, Available With Battle Pass Bundle Purchase

Seeking the most value out of the Battle Pass?

Pick up the Battle Pass Bundle, and you will receive access to all 100 Tiers plus 20 Tier Skips to instantly advance through a fifth of the Pass. You will also get a Legendary Bonus Skin for Wade Jackson.

The “Bundled Up” Operator Skin puts ace pilot Wade Jackson in traditional cold-weather pilot gear, complete with a flight helmet and oxygen mask for high-altitude conditions.

Free Vanguard Multiplayer Rewards, Including the Sticky Bomb, Starting at Tier 1

Casablanca’s desert heat, Gondola’s sheer cold, and Shipment’s complete chaos — among other Multiplayer experiences — can be conquered with confidence thanks to four new Vanguard Multiplayer items found in the Battle Pass.

In order of where they are unlocked, here’s all four of these new tools for your Loadout and Killstreak setup:

Ball Turret Gunner — Killstreak (FREE at Tier 1)

Beginning the Season Two Battle Pass with a bang — or multiple across 30 seconds — the Ball Turret Gunner can be activated after achieving a 12-kill streak.

Activate this Killstreak, and then aim and fire this aircraft’s massive turrets above the map. Enemies will usually be outlined with one of two red symbols: a shaded circle if they are behind cover or an open circle if you can hit them directly. Cold-Blooded folk will not appear with any symbol, allowing them to blend in with allied squadmates, but they can still be eliminated.

The Ball Turret Gunner will last until either its health meter or fuel bar (time limit) drops to zero.

This Killstreak is easy to use but requires plenty of tactics and skill to earn. Work with your squadmates, activate easier-to-earn reconnaissance Killstreaks like the UAV, and play cautiously, yet actively — don’t camp — to become a potentially game-changing force.

Alternatively, there is always the chance it comes out of a Care Package… 

Mechanic — Perk 3 (FREE at Tier 21)

Field Upgrades charge 20% faster.

Mechanic provides a reasonable buff to Field Upgrade charge time, making it a must-have for completing challenges related to them or for Operators who love using them.

Combined with the other new Perk later in the Battle Pass, an Operator can provide Ammo Boxes for squadmates or Jammers and a Field Mic to aid in defeating enemies in greater frequencies, all while making them unhackable and harder to detect.

Sticky Bomb— Lethal Equipment (FREE at Tier 39)

A grenade that sticks to surfaces before detonating.

Able to cover more distance than the Gammon but less than the Frag, the Sticky Bomb’s forte is guaranteeing a kill when stuck to an enemy. It is a solid damage dealer in unconventional places and an effective way to break down walls and doors.

When using this grenade, aim it as you would a Throwing Knife — directly at targets — but underthrows are better than overshooting, as it can still be lethal within a few feet of the target.

Try pairing it with the Armory for quicker throws, allowing for faster follow-up shots should it not deal lethal damage.

Armory — Perk 1 (FREE at Tier 44)

Use equipment faster. Your equipment is immune to the Engineer perk and can’t be hijacked or viewed through walls.

A direct counter-Perk to Engineer, Armory is ideal for Operators who like to use placeable Demolition Charges, concussion mines, and placeable Field Equipment pieces in combat.

Even without placeable equipment, this Perk’s boost in equipment use time is a boon in pre-engagement situations. Combined with the “On-Hand” Weapon Perk, an Operator can more easily toss a stun grenade before firing their weapon, or pop a Stim before re-engaging with a group of enemies.

KG M40 and Whitley — More Intel on Two Free Functional Weapons

KG M40: Assault Rifle (Tier 15 of Battle Pass System)

“Workhorse assault rifle, naturally steady and accurate.”

Adopted across several Scandinavian armies during the war, and the preferred weapon of Anna Drake, the KG M40 is a high-caliber, fully-automatic weapon that rivals the first three Assault Rifles unlocked in Vanguard.

Boasting the second highest damage per shot in its category, a similar effective range to the NZ-41, and a fire rate above 600 RPM, this weapon can be a strong contender in mid- to long-range engagements. Its strengths can be fully unlocked when an Operator can control its recoil, a mix of horizontal and vertical kicks like the Cooper Carbine, but with slightly better centering speed.

The KG M40 comes with three 25-round 8 mm Klauser rounds by default, which can be upgraded to a 35-round drum for a solid Multiplayer Loadout. Those looking for a new Warzone Primary should level this up right to its 50-round .30-06 drums, as the increased power and capacity suit it better for skirmishes between two teams along with the occasional third-party squad.

Dive into its barrels, and you will see a burst modifier for those looking to potentially pivot from the Itra Burst, a few others tailored toward either recoil control or speed, and a fire rate boost that nearly doubles recoil — a high-risk, high-reward choice for skilled Operators.

Whitley: LMG (Tier 31 of Battle Pass System)

“Heavy long-range machine gun, cumbersome but consistent.”

The Whitley represents one of the first machine guns ever used in warfare, rivaling its Battle Pass brother for a strong mid- to long-range tool across all three game modes.

Despite its age, this LMG is highly customizable, and even in its base form it plays a niche role with the best damage per shot compared to its four Vanguard competitors. In Multiplayer, you may need only two shots out of its 80-round magazine to down an enemy, but only if one is a headshot. And although its slow fire rate can annoy impatient Operators, its low recoil can quickly eliminate targets. This predictable pattern keeps it steady when firing out to the second-best effective range in its class, so long as the Operator adjusts accordingly.

Take a trip into the Gunsmith and you’ll find that its .30-06 Round Mags can be upgraded to fit 120 bullets, more than enough for squad combat, or swap it out for the massive 160-Round .50 BMG Boxes, which grant a serious boost to damage per shot. There are also four barrel options, two of which bump up fire rate, with one ramping it up to over 1,000 RPM with default ammo at the cost of some damage.

This weapon may have great potential across Vanguard and Warzone, but if you have skills like Thomas Bolt, the Whitley may soon become your favored weapon.

Dozens of Weapon Blueprints and Operator Skins Fit for Alpine Assaults

With enough weaponry to fill a full slate of Loadouts and new threads for most of Vanguard’s Operators, there is plenty in the full Season Two Battle Pass for the infiltrations to come.

Here are the Weapon Blueprints we are looking to add in our Loadouts before hitting Tier 100:

Epic “Dark Owl” Sniper Rifle Blueprint (Tier 5): One of two Weapon Blueprints immediately unlocked with the Battle Pass Bundle Purchase, this quick-scoping Sniper Rifle Blueprint has 10 preconfigured attachments designed for near-maximum mobility.

Rare “Woodgrain” Shotgun Blueprint (FREE Tier 24): Dash through the snow and sand with this sawed-off semi-auto buckshot weapon, preconfigured with six attachments like Gung-Ho for those looking to run-and-gun.

Epic “Helvetia” Submachine Gun Blueprint (Tier 59): Preferred by elite Operators like Lucas Riggs, this eight-attachment weapon is all about outputting high-damage shots at a high rate of fire. With improved hip-fire accuracy, this weapon is great for the spray-without-delay Operator.

Legendary “Austrian Leather” Light Machine Gun Blueprint (Tier 65): A 10-attachment beast with a silver and gold exterior forged by war, this weapon can be deadly efficient in the hands of an accurate Operator. 

Legendary “Khepri’s Curse” Light Machine Gun Blueprint (Tier 95): The first Weapon Blueprint for the new LMG in the Battle Pass, this nine-attachment preconfiguration offers an incredibly balanced feel with minimal recoil. It can be a great starting point in learning how this armament operates before venturing into its unique Barrel and Magazine swaps.

The Battle Pass also delivers a new Operator Skin every 10 Tiers, including three of our select favorites: “Vagabond” Lucas at Tier 30, “Tourniquet” Halima at Tier 40, and New York Blues” Wade at Tier 90.

Tier 100 — Ice Out the Competition With Legendary Operator Skin, Weapon Blueprint

Even in the Pacific Islands, the most elite Operators know how to bring down a hailstorm of firepower to whiteout squads.

Along with the “Mountaineer” profile title — the Season Two Emblem — and an “Extinction Notice” Charm modeled after it, Tier 100 is defined by these two incredible rewards:

Legendary “White Mirage” Anna Skin: Suit up to wrest control of the Gondola station and the Alps later this season in Anna’s signature white snowsuit, which is just as effective in clearing out the Nebula-V labs on Caldera.

Legendary “Postmodern” Assault Rifle Blueprint: A Weapon Blueprint fit for the avenging predator Anna Drake, this long-range configuration of the newest Assault Rifle features nine attachments. With double the rounds per magazine, a barrel that improves stability, lengthened ammo, and an overall structure built for accuracy, Operators should be able to challenge squads confidently with this in their hands. 

More in Store: Season Two Bundle Highlights — Featuring C.O.D.E. Gift of Honor

The Season Two Battle Pass comes with 1,300 COD Points, and while they could be spent on next season’s offerings, there are plenty of exciting and valuable Bundles arriving in the Store from launch all the way to midseason.

Thomas Bolt, Full Arsenal of Weapon Blueprints Arriving Before Midseason

Those looking to complete Task Force Yeti should watch for Thomas Bolt to arrive sometime later in Season Two, where he will be available in his signature Bundle.

The two Weapon Blueprints included are fantastic Legendary Primary Weapon choices for a Loadout, but he does prefer the Whitley LMG, available in the Battle Pass, as his Favorite Weapon. Keep that in mind if eventually earning those Gold and Platinum Operator outfits for Team Yeti is in your plan.

Other items to watch for are some gilded weaponry; an Operator Skin in Tracer Pack: Lethal Luxury; and the Death Bite Pro Pack, a $19.99 USD offer featuring several Legendary items, including two Weapon Blueprints and a new Skin for Roland, as well as 2,400 COD Points.

Stay tuned during the mid-season for the “Canis Lupus” Assault Rifle Mastercraft, available in the Ancient Hunter Mastercraft Bundle, as well as a new hard-hitting SMG, available in bundles and via challenges.

Call of Duty Endowment “C.O.D.E.” Gift of Honor Bundle — Support Placing Veterans in High-Quality Jobs

Season Two will also bring another way to support the Call of Duty Endowment through the Gift of Honor Bundle.

This three-item Bundle – coming mid-season –  includes a Calling Card, an Emblem, and Spray for just $4.99 USD. In addition to updating your profile with C.O.D.E.-inspired designs, all Activision proceeds from this Bundle will go towards the Endowment’s mission to place veterans in the U.S. and U.K. into high-quality careers.

Prime Gaming – Claim Free Circuit Board Reactive, Delicate & Deadly Black Ops Cold War Bundles

Prime Gaming members are getting free bundles in Call of Duty Warzone every month, including some of the greatest hits from Black Ops Cold War.

This month, Prime Gaming members can claim both the Circuit Board Reactive and Delicate & Deadly Bundles, two Legendary Black Ops Cold War packs full of Ultra, Legendary, and Epic rarity weapons all built around quick movements and fast kills.

The Ultra-rarity “Mother Board” Mastercraft Weapon Blueprint highlights the Circuit Board Reactive Bundle, granting Operators a high-mobility and high-tech option fit for Rebirth Island modes. Rather go long-range? Use the “Resistor” semi-automatic Sniper Rifle, great for quick follow-up shots in Iron Trial modes.

As for the Delicate & Deadly Bundle, it boasts both the “Porcelain” Assault Rifle and “Feldspar” SMG Weapon Blueprints, which can fit great in an Overkill Loadout geared towards short-to-mid range engagements. This can be solid on the smaller Rebirth Island map, or be great when picking enemies off objectives in Clash modes.

Whether you missed out on these incredible bundles last year or want to bolster that Warzone arsenal for Clash, Rebirth Iron Trials, and other non-Vanguard modes, these two flashy pick-ups are yours to add to that bundle locker.

No matter how you restock for Season Two, be prepared to squad up with Armored War Machines.

Rise on every front.
