How To Gift A Battle Pass In Warzone & Black Ops Cold War - Dexerto

Call of Duty players can now gift their friends a Battle Pass in Warzone & Black Ops Cold War using the game’s companion app. 

Having released back in 2020, Warzone has certainly had time to build a catalog of incredible cosmetics for players to collect. While a lot of these blueprints and skins can be purchased directly from the store, it’s the Battle Pass that offers the best value for money.

For only 1000 CoD points, players can unlock 100 tiers of rewards to progress through and earn. Despite this, until now, it was impossible for Black Ops Cold War and Warzone players to gift their friends the Battle Pass.
