Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long do I have to complete the Season 5 Battle Pass?
Season 5 runs for two full months, giving you plenty of time to unlock all Battle Pass rewards through regular play. You don’t need to grind excessively—focus on completing daily and weekly challenges to maximize your progression efficiently. The Battle Pass uses a forgiving system where you earn rewards based on your peak rank, not your ending rank, so you won’t lose progress if you have a rough streak. Even players who join mid-season can realistically complete the entire pass before it expires.
Q: Will the anniversary event skins return after Season 5 ends?
Battle Pass skins are typically exclusive to their season and won’t return, making them true limited-edition collectibles. However, anniversary celebration skins and store-exclusive cosmetics like the formal attire and wedding skins may rotate back during future special events or promotions. NetEase hasn’t confirmed a specific return policy for anniversary items, but historically, Battle Pass content remains permanently exclusive while store items have occasional re-releases. If you want a specific Battle Pass skin like Infinity Stones Ultron or Classic Scarlet Witch, unlock it during Season 5 to guarantee ownership.
