Here’s an overview of the BlackCell for Season 3:
Purchase the Battle Pass: Instantly Unlock Snoop Dogg II, Dominus
Whether you purchase the BlackCell offering or the full Battle Pass for 1,100 COD Points, the Instant Reward Sector becomes available, including two infamous Operators.

Makarov – Dominus (KorTac, Battle Pass Instant Reward)

New Functional Weapons
Unlock three new functional weapons in Sectors 4, 8, and 15:
MORS Sniper Rifle (Sector 4, HVT, Free)*
This single-load railgun delivers a high-damage payload with excellent velocity and penetration.
Boasting a high rate of fire and great bullet velocity, the MORS railgun is ideal for sharpshooters across a variety of combat situations. Though offering lower mobility compared to other Sniper Rifles, its sheer power is evident in the electrical current blasting over its body after every shot.
FJX Horus SMG (Sector 8, HVT, Free)
An ultra-compact SMG with best-in-class CQC damage and mobility.
Boasting fantastic mobility and handling along with a lightning quick reload speed, the FJX Horus is ideal for rapid, close-ranged engagements. Close the distance for optimal damage output and utilize its breakneck swap speed to switch between weapons without missing a beat.
Gladiator Melee (Sector 15, HVT, Free)
A compact, concealable punch knife that was initially used by gamblers and politicians.
What the Gladiator lacks in range, it more than makes up for with excellent mobility, handling, and damage output. They’ll never see it coming as you move in for the elimination with more than just your knuckles at work.
