COD Vanguard Battle Pass Problem Explained

Call of Duty Vanguard has arrived, but many fans are finding a problem with the battle pass which needs to be explained.

COD Vanguard Battle Pass Problem Explained

The Vanguard Battle Pass falls into two parts. This is the pre-season and the season 1 battle pass. You must buy pre-season separate, while the season one pass comes with the Ultimate Edition of the game. As the season does not begin until December, even if you did buy Ultimate Edition, you won’t get it until release.

Can’t Buy Cod Vanguard Battle Pass

The Vanguard Battle Pass only comes with the Ultimate Edition. It is not available to buy separately. This is the most expensive of the editions that are on offer. As well as the game, it also includes a Frontline Weapons Pack, Task Force One Pack, and 5 hours 2 x XP with 5 hours WXP.  You also get a Warzone Pacific Map that will be available on December 1st.

Don’t Have Cod Vanguard Battle Pass Even I Bought Ultimate Edition & Battle Pass Bundle

Even if you did buy the Ultimate Edition along with the Battle Pass Bundle, you may not have the Vanguard pass yet. This will start in the first week of December. It will only unlock battle passes for Vanguard, not previous game battle packs.

Cod Vanguard Battle Pass – Pre-Season

To make matters more confusing, Ultimate Edition contains the pass for season one, which arrives at the start of December. It does not include the battle pass for pre-season. Even if you did pay for Ultimate Edition, you will still need to pay for pre-season.

    Luckily I haven’t purchased vanguard yet and after reading these comments, kinda glad I have waited and didn’t spend the extra money. I wanted to see gameplay first before buying and see if any bugs or glitches happened. Wouldn’t expect this kind of thing to happen from COD, for the most part they have their stuff together and on top of things.

    Maybe it would have been better to wait for season one to come out and for people that have and play Warzone they could have bought the season one battle pass on Warzone specifically with CP and then all the rewards and content should link to vanguard (once you got the game or if you already had it) through the same COD account if I’m correct or do you have to buy the pass on both if you play both which wouldn’t make sense since its cross progression? The battle pass is supposed to be linked with Warzone Pacific and Vanguard. Battle pass hasn’t been confusing until Vanguard came out.

    Trying to figure out if I should buy the warzone battle pass now and then get Vanguard cross gen bundle or wait for this to get fixed since the ultimate edition is bugging and if I do then the battle pass should be active for both Warzone and Vanguard no matter which version I buy cause that’s what it seemed like to me or is it more complicated than that?

      The Preseason battle pass is for COD Cold War and Warzone, there are 13 free additions for Vanguard but the Preseason battle pass is not for Vanguard.

      Shelled out an extra $99 to get ahead, I’m experiencing the same exact greyed out experience. Wth. Battle pass will go through the celebration but not allow me any of the prizes.
