Season 1 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 reinvents the seasonal battle pass as a multi-sector combat map, providing the typical cosmetic items, weapons, and operator skins in unlockable map sectors. Activision has detailed how this new map-style battle pass works, and highlights several items players can unlock this season.

The Season 1 battle pass trailer gives a quick briefing on how the pass works as a multi-sector map, but basically, this combat map-style battle pass is divided into different sectors, ranging from A0 to A20. Sectors A1 to A20 are all connected to each other, and they each have one main item of interest called the High Value Target (HVT) and four additional items. The four standard items must be unlocked in a sector before the HVT can be unlocked.

The battle pass includes over 100 tiers of items, including 20 free tiers. All these items in the pass require a Battle Token Tier Skip to unlock. Battle Token Tier Skips are earned simply by playing the game, just like the tiers in the old battle pass system. While turning the battle pass into a combat map sounds overly-complex, this allows players to choose their path and unlock the items they want first.
