Players will need to unlock the specific nodes next to Sector 23 in the Battle Pass before it can become available, which will take 15 Battle Token Tier Skips to reach the sector. The tier skips can be earned by playing any mode across MW3 multiplayer, MW3 Zombies, and Warzone.

The Season 3 Battle Pass does not need to be purchased to acquire the BAL-27. It is a free unlock once players reach the sector and complete its challenges. However, players will receive a 10% overall boost to XP if the pass is purchased for at least 1,100 COD Points and earn the Battle Token Tier Skips faster.
