Black Cell Ain’t No Joke: Season 5 Call of Duty Battle Pass Enters Top 5 Best-Selling List on Steam Despite Its Pocket-Burning Price

The $30 controversial Battle Pass has been popular among players since its Season 3 debut in 2023.

Activision has been trying to please the community ever since Call of Duty Modern Warfare II was launched. Despite selling well across the globe, the latest installment has failed to impress the majority of the players. Surprisingly, though, they have shown a deep interest in it lately. It’s because of a masterstroke deployed by the publisher.

A massive example of the company’s amazing tactics to promote MWII is Black Cell. When the $30 Battle Pass bundle was initially revealed in Season 3, it was heavily criticized. But the unique move from Activision clicked with the casual players. As a result, this pocket-burning content ended up exceeding expectations. On the PC platform, it emerged out to be among the top-selling titles on the digital store Steam upon its arrival back in April. Well, Black Cell has done it once again – this time with Season 5.

Season 5 Black Cell from Call of Duty Modern Warfare II is a hit among Steam users

In simple words, Black Cell is an upgraded version of the regular Battle Pass. Compared to the standard iteration, it offers additional content while also giving an increased value to the players. For the price of $29.99, they not only receive the usual Operator skins, weapons, and other items but also receive numerous bonuses.

The Season 5 Black Cell has 100+ rewards for Call of Duty Modern Warfare II players. For the first time in series history, it also gives the opportunity to have five a total of five Operators. This is a great value for those who are fond of flaunting exclusive character skins. Players also get 20 Token Tier Skips, 1,400 COD Points, 8 Black Cell-only Operator skins, and an exclusive Sector to begin with. Oh, and there’s also the brand new Operator named Arthur who’s got a Tactical Pet in Merlin – a dog.

Following the launch of Season 5, the Black Cell Battle Pass quickly jumped into the Top 5 best-selling titles on digital store Steam. After the base game, MWII, it managed to pick the 4th spot in the list.
