What Analogs of Battlepass Are There in CS2?

Battle Pass is a seasonal game event in which players earn points and complete progression stages, receiving valuable rewards for completing. Battle Pass is available on Dota 2, Fortnite, Call of Duty Mobile, PUBG Mobile, and many others.

Armory Pass in Counter-Strike 2
Valve should add something similar to the Battle Pass, which has been discussed many times in the pro-player community and among fans. We currently have something similar to the Battle Pass—Armory Pass.
What is Armory Pass?
Armory Pass is a significant update that includes a Battle Pass and a store with new in-game items. As with Operations, the store in Armory Pass is not simple. You can't spend money on it directly. Instead, it uses in-game currency - it's called Armory Credits.
Armory Credits can be spent on:
- Purchasing a skin for the Desert Eagle (By the way, we have a cool selection for this weapon: Best Deagle Skins in CS2.);
- A random charm from two collections (We wrote about them in the article All New Weapon Charms in Counter-Strike 2);
- A random sticker from two sets;
- Purchasing a Gallery Case;
- Receiving a random skin from one of the three new collections: Graphic, Sport and Field, or Overpass 2024.
To access the "credits," you must purchase the Battle Pass. It costs 16 dollars. With the pass purchase, you get one "credit" at once, and 39 more can be earned during the game. You cannot buy "credits" directly.
When will Armory Pass end?
Valve has not revealed any information about the duration of the Armory Pass. The CS2 developer explained that the Desert Eagle | "Heat Treated" is available for the duration specified in the Armory Pass description. The pass itself has no time limit. Credits also have no expiration date. If the Armory rules change, it will be announced publicly.

How to Upgrade Armory Pass?
Earning experience is enough to upgrade the pass. In CS2, experience is given per game, regardless of the mode. Significantly, the amount of experience you get per pass does not change. In other words, bonuses and penalties do not affect the amount of experience.
Experience is credited to all active Battlle passes - there can be up to five of them. If five are active, all five will be pumped simultaneously during the game.
Battlepass on xplay.gg
Nothing like the Battlepass existed in CS2 for a long time, so the xplay.gg team fixed that back in 2023. Now the xplay.gg Battlepass is an entire system where you can play and get rewards.
What is a Battlepass on Xplay.gg?
Battlepass is a section where you can play, complete tasks, complete levels, and earn rewards for a certain amount of time. The time remaining until your Battlepass expires is displayed in the upper left corner.
You can play the free variant of Battlepass, or you can purchase a subscription and get more valuable rewards in the paid variant of this feature. However, it still doesn't commit you to anything.
Season 5 of Battlepass has recently begun. The twist is that each season has its own special features. In this season of Battle Pass, you can get Valve skins for every nine levels completed.
What do you Have to do in Battlepass to get Rewards?
For playing, completing Challenges on xplay.gg servers, you get XP. Within games, you also get XP. For example, you get XP for killing, winning a round, defusing a bomb, and more. The more XP you gain, the higher your level will be in Battlepass; therefore, you will collect more rewards.
The rewards in the free and paid Battle Passes are different: in the free version they are not as fancy as in the paid one, but they are not bad either. You can get xcoins, keys or shards for the Luck Vault, tickets and rerolls for SkillPass and experience points for leveling up in the Battle Pass. We described Battlepass in even more detail in our article: Battlepass Season 4 on xplay.gg: More Rewards.
About Luck Vault told in the article - How to get the best skins on xplay.gg: Luck Vault.
In the paid version you get all the same things, but in a larger volume, as well as Valve skins.
You can rest assured that our servers are safe. We have explained why in detail in the article: Why Is xplay.gg Safe: Everything You Need to Know.
Conclusion
There are not many battlepass analogs on the Internet, which are presented on the server's xplay.gg gives the most interesting and varied experience and rewards valuable prizes.
