BattlePass

The Battle Pass was introduced in version 1.2.54 (6th November 2022). Ratatosk specifically said Snowprint was eliciting feedback on the Battle Pass when it was announced, so all of the following is subject to change with future seasons. And so it came to pass the Battle Pass rewards and season missions were changed with Season 3 of the BP (15th January 2023) to reflect community feedback. Premium profile pictures were added as an award in Season 4 (19th February 2023). The first character unlock, Azrael, was added as a special reward in Season 6 (30th April 2023) to tie into the broader events happening in Warhammer 40,000. The missions were changed once again in Season 10 (17th September 2023).

If you are interested in how much effort the Battle Pass requires, see this How Does That Work article which breaks down the math.

## Overview

The Battle Pass is an overlying reward structure that does not directly affect gameplay. It consists of two parallel tracks of rewards, each with one immediate reward (tier 0) and then 50 tiers of earned rewards and a final recurring reward that are granted upon reaching certain point thresholds (120 points per tier, 6000 points total to reach the recurring reward). The right track (blue icon backgrounds) is the Free track and rewards are available to everyone; the recurring reward is 4000 coins. The left track (red icon backgrounds) is the Premium track and requires purchasing the premium pass to claim the rewards; the recurring reward is an Epic XP tome. Several tiers award shards for a featured character, which was Volk for the inaugural Battle Pass (see the bottom of the page for the full list of featured characters by season).

Each Battle Pass lasts for a 5-week (35 day) season and all progress is reset at the start of the next season, so rewards must be earned within the current season. Any rewards earned but not claimed by the end of the season are sent to your in-game inbox.

## Battle Pass Points

Battle Pass Points are awarded for normal gameplay and for completing battle pass missions. Campaign battles and Quest battles award 1 point, Arena battles award 2 points, Salvage Run & Guild Raid & Legendary Character Event battles award 3 points, and Onslaught awards 5 points. For Campaign, Quest, Arena, and Legendary battles, you have to win the battle (or raid the campaign) in order to receive points. Battle Pass Missions award points based on difficultly and the full-season missions increase in points as you progress down the chain. You must purchase the Premium Battle Pass to claim Premium missions but the game will track your progress even if you have not purchased.

### Battle Pass Missions

There are three categories of battle pass missions: daily, weekly, and seasonal missions. As the names imply, daily missions reset each day, weekly missions reset each week, and seasonal missions are available for the full 5-week season. Daily missions are further split into Easy, Medium, and Hard and Weekly missions are split into Easy and Hard, with the battle pass points increasing with difficulty. As of Season 3, there is now a Premium Weekly mission as well. Seasonal missions are one track of 20 missions and a Premium track of 5 missions initially with another 10 missions at week 2. You must complete the seasonal mission tracks in order, as only one mission is available in each at any given time.

Daily Missions award 5 points for Easy, 8 points for Medium, and 12 points for Hard. Weekly Missions award 70 points for Easy, 100 points for Hard, and 25-75 for Premium. Seasonal missions award 50 points per mission. The full seasonal track is thus worth 1000 points. Each non-Premium Weekly mission and Seasonal mission also award 2 shards for a random character (both for the same character). The Premium Weekly missions are worth 25-50 points each and the Seasonal missions are 15-20 points each, with the Season 10 total of 475 points. Premium seasonal missions also award 1 shard for a random character.

### Mission Tracks

The seasonal mission tracks were updated in Season 2 of the Battle Pass to remove grinding and allow for completion through normal gameplay. In place of missions requiring X Raids, X Bolter Damage, or X Chaos abilities are now three streamlined tracks that only care about total damage, melee or ranged kills, and ability uses. These were further re-balanced in Season 3, particularly reducing the number of ability uses required across Gamma. They were overhauled once again in Season 4 to movement, kills, and wins in an attempt to better reflect accomplishments from normal gameplay and reduce the amount of attention necessary for completion. And they were completely overhauled again in Season 10 to consolidate the free missions to a single track that only cares about total enemies defeated. The added Premium tracks kept along the same design philosophy and requires defeating enemies of a given Faction and using Energy. The required milestones increase with each tier.
