Why isn't Champions a part the season pass?

A few days ago I found out that the Champions bundle doesn’t come free with the Season Pass. Why is this? It’s a Dlc, isn’t it? IMO the first 3 Dlc’s were a little meh so I’m a bit disappointed. D:

Also, could someone clear up what Champions really is to me? I’m a little confused. Is it a bundle? Some people say there’s separate parts… What does this mean?

There was no season pass it was the war games map pass advertised from the start to have 3 map packs, all of which have been delivered. This is clearly outside of those three previously mentioned map packs.

Ah, okay I see now… Thanks for explaining! :smiley:

1- It’s not a Season Pass. The Map Pass was confirmed to only include the first 3 packs since before the game came out. It is only $25, and you were not told that any later maps would be free.

2- The bundle is comprised of 4 parts:
The first is the Bullseye Map Pack: containing two maps. The first is Pitfall, a remake of Halo 3’s The Pit. The second map is Vertigo, a new asymmetrical map designed for 4v4 King of the Hill and Extraction gametypes. As per its name, the map itself is very vertical.
Purchasing the Bullseye Map Pack either alone or in the Champion’s Bundle will give you exclusive 2-week access to the Ricochet playlist, a new gametype included with the DLC. Along with Ricochet-themed Sports armor.

The second part is the Steel Skin Pack: a collection of Steampunk-themed wood and brass weapon skins for every loadout weapon.

The third part is the Infinity Armor pack, including ODST armor, Mark V, and Prefect, a Forerunner-inspired set of armor.

Finally, is bonus content. The above 3 packs can be purchased separately, but buying the bundle will grant access to 6 exclusive armor skins, 8 new stances, 5(?) new weapon skins, and 2-week early access for the Resistor Armor Mod. This mod disables the slowdown when players receive damage while sprinting.

The Champion’s Bundle can be purchased on August 20 for 800 Microsoft Points/$10 USD. Each of the first 3 packs will be available on their own at the same timeframe.

Well someone beat me to the punch. Just as I was about to hit post I see yours come up, lol. Basically what Crimson and Sitri said.

Wow, alright! Thanks guys! I’m still a bit disappointed but whatever! :]

Also, it was all detailed in a news release on this very website:
