BlackCell: Skin-Stealing Facsimile Fighters Appear (MWIII, MWZ, WZ, WMZ)
For Season 4, two hooded specters named Dupe and Copy loom large across the BlackCell offering, with an impressive number of animated Operator Skins clad in black, gold, and green, with wisps of ectoplasm emanating from their tactical gear, and strange green vapor expelled from each Operator’s gas mask. BlackCell owners can enter the Season 4 Battle Map through the exclusive BlackCell Sector, instantly unlocking 20 Battle Token Tier Skips to rapidly unlock items across the adjacent Sectors, as well as the following instantly accessible items:
- 1,100 COD Points[/*]
- “Ailed Caress BlackCell” Blueprint for the Holger 556 Assault Rifle with “Cellular Corruption Tracers” and “Necrosis” Death Effects.[/*]
- “Dupe” Operator[/*]
- “Copy” Operator[/*]
- “Identity Theft” Finishing Move.[/*]
Note the “Identity Theft” Finishing Move, which is only equippable to Dupe or Copy Operators, eliminates an enemy as you’d expect, but also copies and equips your opponent’s skin. This effect stays active until your next death!
Battle Pass owners can claim Tiers and work through the Season 4 Sectors, while BlackCell members can earn extra rewards within these sectors, including the following:
- 12 Operator Skins; for Dupe (new BlackCell Operator), Copy (new BlackCell Operator), Hammer, Soap (two Skins), Hush, Ripper, Jet, Pathfinder, Nolan, Void, and Alpine.[/*]
- Seven animated Weapon Blueprints[/*]
This is in addition to the 110 regular Battle Pass items.
Players who upgrade to BlackCell after purchasing the Battle Pass will also receive 1,100 COD Points back.
CONNECTED NOTE: Remember you only need to purchase BlackCell or the Battle Pass once (in Modern Warfare III, Call of Duty: Warzone, or in Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile). All progression will be tracked across Modern Warfare III, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. Remember that COD Points unlocked in specific Battle Pass Sectors are available only for the device you unlocked them in (Console, PC, or Mobile).
