On the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone side, end-of-season moments give players a feeling of both farewell and a new beginning. The Last Call Event Pass, arriving with Season 5 Reloaded content, is the season's final big call, as its name suggests. The event celebrates the arrival of Rex Infernus, which is stated to be the last of Black Ops 7's round-based Zombies maps. Therefore, during the two-week period, not only cosmetic items but also the chance to complete their final collections of the season are at stake. Below, you can find all the details from the event's schedule to its rewards, XP-earning tactics, and whether the premium pass is really necessary.
The Season's Final Map and the Meaning of Last Call
Black Ops 7's Zombies mode has always held a special place for players. Round-based maps have been a meeting point for groups wanting to reach high rounds. With Last Call, Rex Infernus, said to be the final ring of this series, takes the stage. The arrival of the map is also one of the strongest signs that the season is coming to an end. Of course, the real issue here is not just finishing the story; it's also enabling players to collect the Last Call rewards while exploring the new map.
The event's 'last call' theme is no coincidence, then. As Season 5 Reloaded nears its end, a farewell package has been prepared for players. The fact that the package contains both a Battle Pass Tier Skip and multiple operator skins reveals Activision's desire to close the current season with excitement. Also, for those playing Warzone and Black Ops 7 together, the event brings the two games together around a common goal.
When Does the Event End? How Much Is the Premium Pass?
The Last Call event started on September 3, 2026, and ends on September 17, 2026. This two-week window is sufficient for players to earn XP via both daily and weekly challenges, but it does require planning. All of the event's content arrived with the Season 5 Reloaded patch. If you have just gotten back into the game in the second half of the season, Last Call pulls you into a gameplay loop where you can quickly earn rewards.
The premium side of the pass costs 1,100 Call of Duty Points, or about $10. You don't have to pay this fee. Taking part in the event is completely free; the free track also includes strong rewards like two operator skins, a 1-hour Double XP Token, and a Battle Pass Tier Skip. The premium track, on the other hand, adds more collectible pieces on top, such as an Ultra Skin, weapon blueprints, and a finisher move. For players who regularly invest in the Call of Duty ecosystem every season, this price is almost on par with a regular Battle Pass fee.
All Rewards: Free Track and Premium Track
The Last Call pass uses a 10-tier progression system. As you fill the tiers with the XP you earn, a free and a premium reward unlock at each level. Activision hasn't shared the exact amount of XP needed to complete the entire pass, so you need to track your progress from the in-game event menu. In general terms, every XP you see in your normal game sessions also counts toward the Last Call tiers.
What's in the Free Track?
The most striking parts of the free track are the operator skins. The first is the 'Soph' skin, created for Zaveri and instantly assigned to your account. Later tiers of the track include the 'Al' operator skin for Richtofen. In addition, the Battle Pass Tier Skip and the 1-hour Double XP Token represent important opportunities for players seeking to level up. On the cosmetic side, the 'Barber Beacon' emblem, the 'Mustachioed Man' spray, the 'Six Pack' weapon sticker, the 'Next Customer' loading screen, the 'Hair Die' large decal, and the 'Nasty Dog' weapon charm can all be earned along the free path.
Premium Track Rewards
When you switch to the premium track, the first thing to drop into your account is the Ultra Skin 'Verruckt Original' made for Nikolai. That's one of the flashiest items in the event. The pass also includes the 'Wanderer' operator skin for Vermaak. For those who enjoy weapon customization, there are three blueprints: 'Buzz Cuts' for the Sokol 545 LMG, 'Flavor World' for the Echo 12 shotgun, and 'Diabolical Dispenser' for the Voyakt KT-3 assault rifle. On top of these, the premium room includes the 'Refreshing' calling card, the 'Down the Hatch' emote, the 'Hatchet Work' finisher move, a 'Kill Cap' gun screen, and a Battle Pass Tier Skip.
In short, the free path lets players experience the overall shape of the season, while the premium path is more appealing to those who want to complete their collections. Players with a particular interest in zombie-themed content may consider the premium pass because of items such as 'Verruckt Original' and the finisher move.
Fastest Ways to Earn XP
The only way to unlock Last Call rewards is to earn XP. No matter which mode you play, that's the basic rule. The event counts XP earned in Black Ops 7 Multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame, and Warzone. This means you can complete the event without sacrificing the game mode you enjoy. Still, if your time is limited, certain modes deliver more efficient results than others.
In Multiplayer, objective-based modes such as Hardpoint and Domination accelerate your XP flow because you can both eliminate enemies and complete zone and team objectives. In these modes, rather than focusing only on kill counts, try to keep your scorestreaks active. Low-cost streaks like UAV and Counter-UAV give you extra points throughout the match. Using Decoy Grenades can also help you rack up passive XP by mimicking enemy movements. These small details make a real difference on the Last Call tiers in the long run.
For Zombies fans, long sessions are the best approach. The PvE experience turns into an uninterrupted XP source, especially when you can push to high rounds. Warzone players who don't want to spend time on a full Battle Royale match can opt for Resurgence instead. Its small map and fast-paced cycle let you engage in many fights in a short time. You should also avoid skipping daily and weekly challenges whenever possible. These quests add extra XP to the matches you're already playing.
Use your Double XP tokens wisely, too. Rather than burning the 1-hour token on a short session of one or two matches, save it for a dedicated session where you can play for several hours. It has been announced that a Double XP Weekend will take place during the event. If you catch that weekend, the token plus event XP will stack and seriously speed up your progress. Those aiming to finish all 10 tiers should factor these time frames into their plans.
Is the Premium Pass Worth It?
The answer to that question depends on how you approach Call of Duty content. The free side of Last Call already offers two operator skins. If you only want to take part in the event and grab a few pieces, spending 1,100 CP is not a must. However, if you are someone who regularly collects operator skins and weapon blueprints, the premium pass may be more economical than typical store bundles. When you want to buy an Ultra Skin or a finisher move individually, you usually face a similar cost.
The event lasts only about two weeks. If you can play regularly during that period, you won't need extra effort to see the full premium track. Still, if you only hop in occasionally, your main priority should be rewards such as the Tier Skip and Double XP Token on the free track. Starting to earn XP before the final days is the surest way to avoid unpleasant surprises on both the free and premium paths.
Conclusion: Make the Most of the Two-Week Last Call
The Last Call Event Pass is the last major reward bundle given to players as Black Ops 7 and Warzone say goodbye to Season 5 content. Earning XP during the event, which runs until September 17, allows you to add many different pieces to your collection in both the free and premium rooms. This period, especially as it witnesses the arrival of Rex Infernus, also symbolizes the emotional closing of the season together with the final Zombies story map.
No matter which mode you play, the core strategy is clear: go for objective-based modes, stack up challenges, and activate Double XP opportunities at the right time. Whether to buy the premium pass is entirely a matter of preference. If you value your cosmetic collection, the operator skins and blueprints inside may look attractive. If you are a more gameplay-oriented player, even the free track is enough to close out the season in a satisfying way.
End-of-season events are the most important waypoint for keeping players motivated before a new season. Last Call is a strong example of that tradition. Plan the next two weeks well, don't miss your challenges, and try to secure at least a few rewards in this final call.
