If you are not already familiar Quake Champions has 4-ish Seasons a year that also correspond with our BattlePass Seasons. Meaning we have 4: 10 to 12 week long BattlePasses a year. Week 1 is primarily made up of completing basic tasks such as completing matches, playing specific game modes, or using your champion abelites. Note the right side of the BP does not open up until you buy the BP for 1000 Platinum.

A new set of challenges opens up every Wednesday at 8:00 PM EAST | 2:00 AM CEST. The challenges are broken up in 2 parts. First their week, and then their side left side | right side. The left side consists of the free challenges you can obtain without buying the Battlepass. The right side is accessible after buying the Battlepass. The right side tends to be slightly harder, but gives additional XP as well as shards.

**BATTLEPASS PURCHASED AT THE MAIN STORE MENU**

You can buy the BattlePass for 1000 platinum. Platinum is the Premium currency in Quake Champions. If you are using steam I recommended buying from Bethesda directly at this link: Platinum Editions!

Valve takes 30% of all purchases from steam. The money you buy with platinum goes back to the Quake development project. Just make sure you are logged into your associated Bethesda account, and it should be in their by the time you log into the game. If you are using the Bethesda launcher then just purchase it in game as you normally would, but you will be on steam soon just a heads up. (Microsoft Store integration soon).

**STEPCHILD MACHINE GUN LEVEL 1 REWARD**

The Battlepass itself is separated in 2 rows. The top row is the free version. You can acquire all the items here just by playing the game to level up your Battlepass. The bottom row is unlocked only with the purchase of the Battlepass. This is retroactive. So, if you are at level 50 and decide at that point you want to buy the Battlepass. Everything below level 49 will be added to your account. Keep an eye out for level 2, and 36 as these levels give you an automatically applied haste salve which gives you Triple XP for 7 whole days.

Once you have purchased the BP click the shield at the top of the screen, and hit the activate button that will be below the season 15 Name Plate.

**N72 MK II ROCKET LAUNCHER LEVEL 100 REWARD.**

Just a heads up you are getting an instant 7 day Haste Potion at level 2 with the paid version of the BattlePass. You also get another at level 35. You can earn 155 Platinum from the BattlePass this season. There is technically a 2nd half to the Battlepass levels maxing at level 200. Level 101 to 200 has rewards as well. Every 5 levels starting at 105 you will receive 1 shard. While every 10 levels starting at level 110 you will receive 1 shard, and 1 Reliquary. The only exceptions being 190 where you receive 3 shards, and 200 which you will receive 5 shards.

Lots of PTS Updates have pointed to Quake Champions being added to the Microsoft Store.
