Warzone Pacific Season 2 Reloaded Update Patch Notes

Hello everyone!

We’d like to thank you for your patience while we investigated the issue related to Battle Pass XP gains. We’re happy to say that this issue has been resolved. In light of this fix and to compensate players for the prior disruption, we’ve decided to do the following:

Affected Players will be retroactively awarded XP for prior matches played

In order to receive this bonus, Players must log in to Warzone before the end of Chapter Three Season Two on April 27th at 10 AM PT

The XP may have started appearing for some Players last night, April 19th (PT)

In addition, all Players who logged in during Season Two will receive two 1-hour Double Battle Pass XP Tokens

These Tokens will be usable through the current and future Seasons

We hope you round off this Season on a fun note (maybe even a W) and look forward to seeing you in Season Three!
