Summer Breeze Battle Pass

Another new season marks the beginning of another rewarding Battle Pass in Call of Antia featuring tons of rewards and freebies for both free-to-play and pay-to-play players. Battle Passes in Call of Antia are divided into 40 different levels with each level consisting of 1000 Battle Pass EXP. The Battle Pass EXP is earned by completing the different missions presented to the player on a daily and seasonal basis. 

Completing all the missions will provide players with tons of Battle Pass experience called “BP” in the official game terms.
