How does the Battle Pass work?
The Battle Pass is a 100 level leveling system that gives players rewards for the time they spend earning XP in the game. Generally, the more time a player spends, the more levels they unlock. and rewards. The rewards offered are largely cosmetic and offer no in-game benefits, but the Battle Pass system does give players a way to customize their experience on a seasonal basis. Each player has access to 24 free levels of the Season Pass, but to unlock all 100 levels of rewards, players must purchase the premium Battle Pass.

Is the Battle Pass worth the purchase?
Since most of these Battle Pass items are purely cosmetic, it is up to each player to decide whether purchasing a pass is worth it for them. That said, weapon blueprints could be useful for new players, especially those who are playing and other PvP modes who want to arm themselves better in battle against more experienced players. However, all of the plans on offer are for weapons that can already be earned in-game if a player spends enough time playing.
This Battle Pass only lasts 55 days, which is the length of Season 3. Some players may be struggling to clear all 100 levels right now, so those who want everything it offers but aren't sure to be able to complete them from the start might want to invest in the Bundle. However, many may find it a steep price to pay for just under two months of content, and the standard version of the pass also offers XP bonuses for faster leveling at $ 14 less.
Whether the pass is worth it for all of you depends on your personal preferences. If you care less about cosmetic items, you won't miss a thing by skipping this season's Battle Pass. After all, the puppy is included for free, so I'm good to go.
