The battle is evolving as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone usher in their hugely anticipated Season 3 updates on April 3rd. This latest seasonal content drop for the blockbuster first-person shooters developed by Sledgehammer Games is going full-tilt into the future with its premium “BlackCell” Battle Pass Upgrade.

Available for purchase, the Season 3 BlackCell Battle Pass introduces over 100 tiers of fresh sci-fi themed rewards to earn and unlock.

These include slick new Operator character skins and personalisation options, unique weapon blueprints decked out with digital flourishes, and plenty of bonus cosmetic gear.

Definitive Operators Join the Frontline

At the forefront of Season 3’s advancements is the new “Stasis” Operator skin, instantly unlocked for BlackCell owners.

This cybernetically enhanced super-soldier arrives encased in a fully animated black and gold bodysuit emblazoned with streaming digital glyphs and nanotechnology.

Her futuristic design perfectly encapsulates BlackCell’s dark, modernised sci-fi motif.

But Stasis is far from alone in her digital transformation. She’s backed by an entire squadron of elite allied Operators updated with their own signature BlackCell Variant skins.

This highly advanced ensemble even includes an exclusive hardcore tech makeover for iconic rapper Snoop Dogg, re-envisioned as the formidable “Snoop Dawg.”

Other legendary characters making explosive entrances include Vladimir Makarov of the Inner Circle in his urban-styled “Dominus” look.

Both Makarov’s classic skin and the villainous rapper Snoop Dogg II are awarded automatically to all players via the free Battle Pass track’s initial unlock.

Purchasing the full BlackCell upgrade also grants owners with six special tracer weapon blueprint variants emitting colourful ammunition trails.

It instantly unlocks 1,400 COD Points plus 20 Battle Token Tier Skips to speed through the 100 reward levels faster. In total, it’s a value of over 7,000 COD Points worth of bonus content.

Of course, players can still make progress through the standard free Battle Pass track as well.

Completing the initial “Instant Reward” sector provides the base “Snoop Dogg II” and “Dominus” Makarov skins right away, alongside other goodies like a 10% XP boost and thematic weapon blueprints like “Hope Breaker.”

New Weapons Primed for Combat

Keeping that edge sharp, Season 3 is also delivering a payload of three new weapons to master for both Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone.

First up is the high-powered explosive MORS Sniper Rifle – a rail-gun style vehicle adept at blasting through enemies and structures with ease. This overpowered rifle will probably get nerfed at some point in the future.

For those preferring up-close engagements, the ultra-compact FJX Horus SMG brings lightning mobility and swap speeds into the fray.

While incredibly compact, it boasts fantastic mobility and handling paired with blindingly quick reload speeds. Don’t blink or you’ll miss securing the kill.

Even more exciting is the tease of a mysterious third new weapon arriving later in Season 3 codenamed “HVT.”

Precious few details are available, but you can bet it will further bolster the cutting-edge BlackCell tech theme when it deploys.

Other Cosmetics up for grabs

Rounding out the offerings are a multitude of new weapon blueprints and camos to unlock and outfit your arsenal.

The standard Battle Pass track is absolutely stuffed, containing 20 additional unlockable weapons blueprints spread across various sci-fi inspired themes and styles.

Some stylish options include a “Wood and Yellow” collection featuring intricate golden designs overlaid on wooden furniture stocks and handles.

The blueprints are inspired by advanced tech and sleek, modern utilities sure to appeal to fans of the new cyberpunk-esque Operators.

With so much fresh content hitting the field of battle, it’s a great time for COD fans to re-enlist.

Whether enlisting as a premium BlackCell soldier or joining the ranks as a free agent, Season 3 of MW3 and Warzone is primed to be an evolutionary leap forward.

The future has deployed with cutting-edge new play experiences to master when the updates go live on April 3rd.
