How to get Battle Pass Tokens in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2

For the most part, Modern Warfare 2‘s Battle Pass system has been received well. It’s nice to have a little more freedom in regard to what items you unlock first. Some players may choose to prioritize the new weapons while others could beeline for a particular variant they like.

Traditional Battle Pass tiers are gone and in their place, Battle Pass Tokens have been added. These tokens are spent to unlock one item of choice, although that item has to be within a segment that you already have access to. Also, just because an item is listed as free does not mean you can unlock it without spending a token. The free description just means that item is available on the free version of the Battle Pass.

To get Battle Pass Tokens in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 you have to earn in-game experience. The exact math on how tokens are earned is unclear, but we do know that the rate at which you earn them is faster if you earn more experience and score. Although, in saying that, the main factor in how many Tokens you earn still appears to be total playtime.

The reality then is that there is no currently known method to get Battle Pass Tokens in Warzone 2 and MW2. All you can do is play both games as normal and try to perform to the best of your abilities. Playing game modes that reward more experience will help but you are probably better off just playing whatever you enjoy most.
