Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has overhauled the Battle Pass system from previous titles. The linear progression system of old has been replaced with a more player-driven system that allows you to choose which rewards you want.
Unlocking all 100 Battle Pass tiers can seem intimidating at first glance, but this new system makes it far easier to get what you want out of each pass without having to earn all 100 tiers. This guide will showcase how the new Battle Pass system works, how to progress through Battle Pass Sectors, and we'll showcase every reward available in MW2's first season.
How Does MW2's Battle Pass Work?
Modern Warfare 2's Battle Pass uses a non-linear progression system that differs from previous titles. Instead of progressing through 100 levels with a linear set of rewards, you'll be presented a map with rewards nested in each region, referred to in-game as "Sectors."
When you open your Battle Pass, you'll see a map divided into 20 Sectors. Each Sector consists of five rewards, totaling 100 rewards as you'd expect from a CoD Battle Pass. Hovering over a Sector will reveal five rewards on offer, showcased on the left-hand side of your screen. The bottom four rewards must be redeemed first before you can claim the fifth reward. Each reward costs one Battle Pass Token, earned by playing matches and earning XP. Once you've claimed all five Sector rewards, you'll unlock all adjacent Sectors, allowing you to spend your Battle Pass Tokens on rewards you're interested in.
That's a lot to take in, so here's a concise breakdown of how the new Battle Pass system works:
- Play matches to earn Battle Pass Tokens.
- Visit the Battle Pass map to unlock rewards in available Sectors.
- Purchase all five rewards in a Sector to unlock adjacent Sectors.
- Each season has 100 rewards to grab, divided evenly among 20 Sectors.

Battle Pass Progression Explained
When you start leveling your Battle Pass, you'll be restricted to one Sector on the map. For Season 1, this is Sector A1—the only Sector highlighted in green. Select the Sector to view all five of its rewards.
We can see that we can unlock the following rewards:
- Aerial Entrance – Calling Card
- Hired Sniper – Emblem
- x1 Double Weapon XP Token – 15 Minutes
- Paying Rent – Weapon Charm
Unlocking all four of these rewards will grant access to the fifth reward. For Sector A1, this is The Orbiter weapon blueprint for the Kastov 545. As with the four previous unlocks, the fifth unlock in a Sector costs one Battle Pass Token.
Free To Play Battle Pass
Most rewards in the Battle Pass are locked behind seasonal ownership. Each Sector has one reward that free-to-play users can use. As with the premium Battle Pass, all five rewards must be unlocked in each Sector to unlock adjacent Sectors. These premium rewards are unusable to F2P players until they purchase the Battle Pass. As with past CoD titles, any new weapons introduced in the Battle Pass are obtainable by all players.
Clearing the Sector of rewards will unlock all adjacent Sectors. In this instance, you'll unlock Sectors A2 and A3. Pick which Sector has the more appealing rewards to you. Clearing Sector A2 will unlock Sector A4, and clearing Sector A3 will unlock Sectors A5 and A6.
Your goal is to path toward rewards you care about the most. For example, if you only care about unlocking new weapons from the Battle Pass, you should focus on pathing toward Sectors A6 and A7. If you care more about skins, you might want to focus on unlocking Sectors with Operator skins as their fifth reward (Sectors A9, A16, etc.).

How To Earn Battle Pass Tokens
Battle Pass Boost
Owners of the Battle Pass will earn Battle Pass Tokens 10% faster for the given season. This is currently the only Battle Pass booster available in Modern Warfare 2.
Battle Pass Tokens are unlocked by completing matches and earning XP in Modern Warfare 2, DMZ, and Warzone 2.0. In general, you'll earn a Battle Pass Token whenever your account levels up. The two aren't correlated at all, but it gives you a rough idea of how often you'll be receiving Tokens. XP Tokens do not affect how quickly you earn Battle Pass Tokens.
For earning Battle Pass Tokens quickly, your typical XP-farming culprits will work well. Some quick recommendations:
- Kill Confirmed: Focus on grabbing tags for some easy XP.
- Invasion: Kill as many AI bots as you can.
- DMZ: Defeating AI, completing faction missions, and successfully extracting provide excellent XP.
If you're short on time, you can also purchase Battle Pass Tokens for 150 CoD Points each.

Season 1 Battle Pass Rewards

Both of these weapons are available for all players, not just Battle Pass owners. Exact rewards are listed below, broken down per Sector on the Battle Pass map. Owners of the Battle Pass receive ten extra items—five upon purchasing the Battle Pass, and the other five upon completing the Battle Pass.
