Call of Duty Is Giving Away Free Battle Passes for Season 6, but There's a Catch

Key Takeaways

  • Some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 players are receiving a free Season 6 Battle Pass as an incentive to return to the game.
  • The final season of Modern Warfare 3 includes new content like maps, weapons, and a spooky Haunting event.
  • Activision aims to draw players back before Black Ops 6 by offering free Battle Pass codes at random.

As a seasoned gamer with a decade-long history of Call of Duty (CoD) under my belt, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and confusion upon hearing about this free Season 6 Battle Pass for Modern Warfare 3. On one hand, it’s intriguing to see Activision trying to draw players back into the game, especially with all the new content they’ve added, including the spooky Haunting event just in time for Halloween.

Players of “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” are receiving a complimentary Battle Pass for the game’s current season, but it appears that Activision is only distributing them to users who haven’t been active on the shooter for quite some time. The Season 6 of “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” started on September 18, and it seems like Activision wants to end things with a flourish by encouraging inactive players to return before the release of “Black Ops 6” in October.

For the last season of “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3”, creators Sledgehammer Games haven’t held back on the content for the Season 6 update. Players diving into this substantial new content release will find a variety of fresh Shipment variants, weapons, and a thrilling 6v6 multiplayer map named Drive Thru. As Halloween approaches, “Call of Duty” enthusiasts can also explore the chilling Haunting event, currently active in both “Modern Warfare 3” and “Warzone”. This final season offers plenty for the brave, from spooky cosmetic collections to terrifying game modes that will surely give you a scare!

If the Haunting event in Call of Duty didn’t convince gamers to return to Modern Warfare 3, Activision is now offering free Season 6 Battle Pass codes for the game. The good news is that these codes can also be leveled up in Warzone. However, there seems to be no way for players to obtain a code from the publisher directly, as they’re reporting on social media that they are receiving random emails with free codes to redeem.

Call of Duty Players Receive Free Season 6 Battle Pass

Reddit user Eymber93 is among those who claim they got a complimentary Battle Pass for the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, asserting that they hadn’t played Season 5 or even much of Season 4 prior to this. Although the email might seem suspicious, the user confirmed they entered the code on Activision’s official site and discovered the Battle Pass upon their next login to Modern Warfare 3. They hypothesized that since it had been a while since they last played, Activision may be trying to lure them back with this free offer.

Unfortunately, not all users have been fortunate enough to receive the free Battle Pass. Many players in the community are upset because, despite some receiving a free Battle Pass, they themselves haven’t received any email from Activision even though they too have taken an extended break from gameplay. A user on Twitter even mentioned that they haven’t played since Season 1 and still haven’t gotten a free code from Activision.

It’s not unusual for publishers to distribute free Battle Pass codes (as Fortnite and Apex Legends have done so in the past), but it’s quite rare for Call of Duty to do so. However, with Black Ops 6 approaching, there’s a good possibility that Activision is trying to rekindle player interest and perhaps encourage pre-orders for the next Call of Duty game.
