Warzone Season 5 is live July 23. New Battle Pass unlocks Spectre, FG42, Gremlin SMG, BlackCell Cipher content, and 100+ rewards.

The Warzone Season 5 Battle Pass drops on July 23, 2026 at 9AM PT, alongside Black Ops 7 Season 5, and it packs 100+ rewards across 15 pages. Buy the standard pass for 1,100 COD Points and you instantly unlock the new operator Spectre, because apparently loyalty needs a bribe now.
Black Ops 7 Season 5 and Warzone share the same seasonal calendar, so everything below applies to both. If you were hoping for a quiet season with a couple of skins, sit down, this one is bloated on purpose.
Two free weapons are buried in the free track, so grinding matters if you refuse to pay. The FG42 assault rifle unlocks as the Page 3 completion reward, a full auto rifle with low recoil and 37 levels of attachments to fiddle with. The Gremlin SMG follows at Page 6 completion, a dual wield close range weapon with the highest hipfire accuracy in its class.
The Spectre operator unlock is instant on purchase, no grinding required, which is the one mercy Activision decided to grant this season. Other operator skins are scattered across pages 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 15, tied to T.E.D.D., Samuels, Anderson, Dempsey, Vermaak, Grimm, Richtofen, Reaper EWR-3, and Wei Lin.
Progression runs on Battle Pass tokens earned through XP in Multiplayer, Zombies, Warzone, and Endgame, and tokens let you pick the unlock order instead of grinding pages in sequence. Ignore this mechanic and you will waste weeks unlocking cosmetics you never wanted.
| Page | Reward | Type |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sonic Plate CBRS-3 SMG Blueprint | HVT Blueprint |
| 2 | General Chaos T.E.D.D. Skin | Operator Skin |
| 3 | FG42 Assault Rifle | Free Weapon |
| 4 | Handyman Samuels Skin | Operator Skin |
| 6 | Gremlin SMG | Free Weapon |
| 9 | Heavy Engineer Vermaak Skin | Operator Skin |
| 12 | Neo Reverb AN-94 Blueprint | HVT Blueprint |
| 15 | Odium FG42 Blueprint | HVT Blueprint, BlackCell variant |
| Completion | Viscera Spectre Ultra Skin, 200 COD Points | Final Reward |
Skip the free tier entirely and buy BlackCell Season 5 to unlock every reward at once, plus exclusive content locked behind a second currency you already paid for. The BlackCell exclusive operator is Cipher, a hybrid mercenary skin bundle with the Riddlefang Knife blueprint attached, and BlackCell owners get a 10% XP loyalty boost baked in from day one.
BlackCell also stacks a loyalty bonus for repeat buyers: purchase it across every season since launch and the XP bonus climbs to 50%, rewarding you for a habit Activision is thrilled you can't quit.
Outside the pass, Activision keeps the store stocked with Mastercraft and Ultra Skin bundles that cost real money on top of the Warzone Season 5 Battle Pass price, because one purchase was never going to be enough. The Sentry's Watch bundle turns the Mammoth LMG into a crossbow themed Mastercraft weapon, and the Combat Cabinet bundle turns your operator into a literal walking arcade machine.
The Warzone Season 5 release date lines up exactly with the Season 4 pass expiring, so unclaimed tiers and ranked rewards vanish the moment the clock hits zero. Preloads went live around July 21 on Battle.net, with console platforms following shortly after.
Email verification on your Activision account quietly hands out five 1-hour 2XP tokens for level, weapon, and Battle Pass progress each, plus a free universal camo, and most players never bother claiming it.
