The Level-Up Pass in Blood Strike is a small paid item sold next to the Strike Pass upgrades, listed for $1.99 on the US App Store page of Blood Strike Max, but NetEase has not published a description of exactly what it contains, so read its in-game description before you buy. The system it supports is the Strike Pass, the game's seasonal battle pass with a free track, paid Elite and Premium tiers and a 520 Gold refund at max level. This guide separates what is confirmed from what is guesswork, then covers how the current Bunny Force pass works and the fastest legitimate ways to level it before 14 November 2026.
We checked this against NetEase's official update announcements on the Blood Strike site and Steam, the App Store listings for Blood Strike and Blood Strike Max, and Strike Pass explainers from VCGamers and TopupLive, in November 2026.
What the Level-Up Pass Is, and What We Could Not Confirm
The item is real. The App Store page for Blood Strike Max, the separately listed app from Stellar Gate Games Limited, shows "Level-Up Pass" among its top in-app purchases at $1.99, alongside Gold bundles and a Strike Pass upgrade. Top-up retailers list a Level-Up Pass as its own product too, separate from "Strike Pass Elite" and "Strike Pass Premium", which shows it is not simply another name for the pass itself.
What it does is less clear. NetEase's official announcements, which we read back to October 2024, never describe a Level-Up Pass, and the retailer listings give no contents. One TopupLive explainer from July 2026 says the phrase is usually what players type when they mean buying a Strike Pass to level faster. That reading does not fully fit the App Store, where the Level-Up Pass is a separate line item from the Strike Pass upgrade. Neither source is an official description, so we will not tell you it grants a set number of levels.
The safe approach is simple: open the item in the in-game store, read the exact contents line, and compare it against how many levels you still need. If the description promises Strike Pass levels, it is only worth buying when you are close to a reward you want and the pass is about to end. If it is something else entirely, the rest of this guide still applies, because every level-related purchase in Blood Strike feeds the same Strike Pass system.
How the Strike Pass Works
The Strike Pass is Blood Strike's battle pass, and each one runs for about a month with its own theme, rewards and new weapon or Striker. There are three tracks, and the official notes have used the same structure for two years:
- Free: everyone gets it. It often includes the season's new weapon or Striker. The December 2024 Blood Rage pass gave the Uzi on the free track, the September 2025 Rust Fall pass gave the M82 and its High Precision Laser, and Alondra arrived through the pass in March 2026.
- Elite: the paid track. Upgrading and leveling it returns 520 Gold and unlocks the main seasonal skins.
- Premium: includes the Elite rewards plus extra items. The July 2026 Carnival pass, for example, gave Premium owners an extra universal badge, faster Stamp Collection rewards and the Ultra HK416 - Splashes skin.
Storefront names vary. The US App Store lists "Strike Pass (Elite)" at $3.99 and "Strike Pass (Elite+)" at $8.99, while the in-game notes use Elite and Premium. VCGamers puts the Elite pass at 520 Gold with a maximum of tier 50, and TopupLive lists Elite at 520 Gold and Premium at 1,040 Gold for the summer 2026 pass. Prices differ by region and store, so check the in-game price before buying.
The Current Pass: Bunny Force
As of November 2026 the active pass is Bunny Force, which runs from 15 October to 14 November. That leaves about a week, so if you are partway through, this is the time to decide whether to push to the end.
According to the 22 September 2026 announcement, the Premium version unlocks the UMP45 - Bunny Ops (Ultra), and the Elite version unlocks the E.M.T. - Neon Bunny Striker skin (Ultra). At level 20 you choose between the VOX - Neon Mirage Striker skin (Epic) or the Bunny Box crate with the Bunny Go parachute (Epic). The pass also includes a Legendary execution, a Legendary Explorer-themed weapon skin, the Legendary Bunny Hop emote, Upgrade Points, Noble Coins, avatars and stickers. Reaching max level refunds 520 Gold, which matches the pattern of earlier passes such as Banana Spotlight in September and Urban Pulse in August.
The pass also brought a gameplay unlock. The Kar98k's new Competition Cheek Pad attachment, which improves hip-fire accuracy and mobility, can be unlocked through Bunny Force or by raising the weapon's level. That is typical: many BAS attachments and new guns arrive through the pass first, so the free track is worth leveling even if you never pay.
How to Level the Strike Pass Faster
Pass XP comes from playing matches and completing missions, and the quickest gains come from stacking the systems that feed it. Here is what works without spending anything:
- Clear daily and weekly missions first. They give far more Pass XP than match time alone. NetEase has also run Mission Pass events, such as one in September 2025, where daily missions granted extra Pass XP.
- Play the featured event modes. Limited modes like Nightmare Trial in October 2026 often have their own missions that overlap with pass progress.
- Use the Stamp Collection. Weekly missions earn stamps that fill a board for extra rewards. Since April 2026 you can buy a limited number of Universal Badges to fill gaps, but NetEase notes they cost the same as an Elite Strike Pass, so it recommends not missing the current pass instead.
- Squad up. Many missions are faster in a full team, and team-up events regularly add their own rewards.
- Do not leave it to the last day. Passes end on a fixed date, and their limited rewards leave with them.
If you skip a pass, its exclusive rewards may never return, though some items come back through reruns or stores. Our codes and free rewards guide lists where free Gold and items appear between passes, which can fund your next Elite upgrade.
Is Buying the Pass Worth It?
For anyone who plays most weeks, the Elite track is one of the better-value purchases in the game, because finishing it returns 520 Gold, which guides say is what the Elite pass costs. In effect, a player who reaches max level every season pays for the first pass and then rolls the refund into the next one. The catch is that you must actually finish it, so the math only works if you play enough to reach the top before the deadline.
Premium makes sense if you want the extra Ultra skin and faster Stamp Collection rewards, or if you join a pass late and want the instant levels guides describe. A small catch-up purchase such as the Level-Up Pass only makes sense near the end, when a specific reward is a few levels away. Never buy levels for a pass you are not close to finishing. A quick check helps: count the levels left, divide by the days remaining, and compare that with how many levels you usually gain per day. If the numbers do not add up even with missions, skip the purchase and save the Gold for the next pass. If you are saving Gold for something bigger, such as a draw on one of the limited prize pools in our Evo guns explainer, plan which purchases matter most before the pool opens.
Other Kinds of Leveling in Blood Strike
"Level up" means several different things in this game, and mixing them up leads to wasted purchases.
- Weapon levels: raised by using a gun, and they unlock BAS attachments. The AK47 and Kar98k caps were raised to 100 in 2026.
- Newcomer boosts: the July 2026 M4A1 Full Build Plan gave new players weapon XP cards to reach M4A1 level 50.
- Striker skill levels: skills gain extra effects at certain levels, such as Spike's Illusion at levels 3 and 5.
- Reputation: rises to Level 5 through positive play since the September 2026 update.
- Rank: separate from all of the above, earned only in ranked matches. Our ranked tiers guide covers how that ladder works.
New Strikers often arrive through the Strike Pass free track, which is another reason to keep it moving. If you want to know which ones are worth unlocking first, see our best Striker guide.
Prefer an Account That Is Already Leveled?
Passes, weapon levels and limited rewards add up to a long grind, and past passes do not come back. If you would rather begin with an account that already holds past rewards, the Blood Strike section of the store lists accounts from marketplace sellers, each with its own level, rank, items and server described. NetEase's Terms of Use say you may not share, sell or transfer your account without its prior consent.
