The Winter Offensive update pushes Season 1 forward with a frozen Empire State variant, new Freeze-enabled modes, and a short-term progression path that runs separately from the main Battle Pass.
The Winter Offensive Bonus Path is a short, limited-time progression track that gives out cosmetics, XP boosts, and the event’s main reward which is the Ice Climbing Axe melee weapon.
The event is only available during the Winter Offensive window, meaning players have a limited timeframe to clear all 11 tiers before the track disappears.
How Do Bonus Path Points and Progression Work?
Unlike the traditional Season 1 pass, this event track features 11 tiers, each unlocked by earning 10 Bonus Path Points, for a total of 110 points.
You can only earn these points in Winter Offensive, and they come from weekly challenges plus special event objectives built around the update’s new modes and ice-themed activities.
Lower-tier challenges provide small point rewards, while the harder Winter Offensive objectives grant faster progress toward each tier.
Not every weekly challenge contributes to the Bonus Path, so players must look for challenges explicitly marked as awarding Bonus Path Points.
Because this track levels alongside your active Season 1 Battle Pass path, you naturally progress both at once as long as you’re completing eligible challenges.

Since the track shuts down with the end of Winter Offensive, the best move is to start the weekly and event challenges early so you can stack Bonus Path Points steadily and claim the Ice Climbing Axe before it disappears.
