To use tier skip tokens on the MW3 seasonal battle pass, you must head to the battle pass, select an active sector, and select “Claim” on the corresponding reward in the sector track at the bottom of the screen.

At the beginning of a season, you’ll earn XP and progress through the battle pass through each sector one at a time. You can opt to unlock these rewards automatically or choose your own path through the pass depending on what items you’d prefer to grab first.

There are a number of ways to earn battle pass tier skip tokens in MW3. Some can be earned as rewards in an existing sector of the battle pass, while more can be added by purchasing the Vault edition of the seasonal battle pass, which normally comes with a set amount of tier skip tokens to get you started.

If all else fails, you can buy tier skip tokens individually for 150 CoD Points to use if you really want to unlock those last few rewards you need, but remember earning XP by playing also progresses the battle pass, in case you want to save a little cash.

Any tier skip tokens you earn during an active MW3 season need to be used before the end of the season. Once the season comes to an end, any remaining tier skips will be used automatically along the pre-set path. You’ll then begin to reload your token bank for the next season and be presented with those rewards auto-unlocked.
