The only benefit to season passes are “pay to accelerate.” You get all maps, all patches- everything as released. However DLC operators will be 25,000 renown (their in game currency) which you earn at a rate of 200-400 a game. Buying the season pass just gets you the new DLC operators as they release. To a new player this cheap standard edition is brilliant, a lot of the vanilla operators are used to this day in the highest level of comp.
