Benefits Of Gifting DOTA 2 Battle Pass
You Get Extra Levels
The main benefit of gifting battle passes to others is that you get extra points that contribute to your Battle Pass level. For the most expensive pack, the 100-level Starting Point package, you also get an extra two levels for gifting it instead of nothing if you buy it on your own. This shaves off a bit of play time and grind.
Don’t Gift The Standard Battle Pass
The standard battle pass is almost twice as expensive if you gift it compared to buying it on your own. If you are planning on gifting a standard Battle Pass, it’s better if you just give him/her some Steam credits to buy using their account instead of receiving it as a gift.
