If you’re looking for your next hit of double experience in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, you’re not alone. Luckily, Treyarch has announced that the game’s second double XP weekend will run until Sunday, Dec. 1, giving players ample time to rack up more levels.
When the weekend is over, though, players are often left looking for ways to keep the speedy XP gain they grew accustomed to. The solution is double XP tokens, which can help gamers level up their player level, weapon levels and battle pass tiers twice as fast.
If you have double XP tokens from Modern Warfare 3, there’s a popular workaround that many players are using that will help you access your stockpile of double XP from previous games. Even if you don’t have any legacy double XP tokens, the recent release of the season 1 battle pass has given new players a chance to stock up on double player XP and double weapon XP tokens to speed up their account progression.
With the introduction of new weapons, like the Saug SMG, Krig-C assault rifle and Power Drill melee weapon, and the introduction of the new XP-based Warzone Armory, players will be benefitting from double weapon XP more than ever before.
Whether you’re unsure of how to use your MW3 double XP tokens or you don’t know how to get more double XP tokens to keep leveling up quickly after the recent double XP weekend, we’re here to help. Here’s every way you can use double XP tokens in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 right now.
Can you use double XP tokens on Double XP Weekend?
Unfortunately, Black Ops 6 and Warzone players aren’t able to activate double XP tokens during a double XP weekend. When attempting to open the double XP token menu to activate your tokens, they’ll be grayed out and unable to be interacted with for the duration of the event.
Any double XP time that players had activated before double XP weekend will be frozen, and will reactivate once the universal double XP boost comes to an end. Players will also be able to continue activating their double XP tokens after Sunday, Dec. 1 at 1 p.m. EST, when the double XP weekend wraps up.
How to earn free XP tokens in Black Ops 6
Most of the ways to earn Black Ops 6’s double XP tokens involve microtransactions or external marketing campaigns, but there are still some ways to earn the boosts without spending a single cent.
Multiplayer prestige
In addition to operator skins, weapon skins, zombies gobblegums, calling cards and emblems, advancing your account to a new prestige grants you a 1-hour XP token.
Reaching max rank and choosing to prestige your account is the most reliable way to earn double XP tokens in Black Ops 6. Each time you enter a new prestige level, you’ll be rewarded with a 1-hour token for double player XP. Since there are 10 player prestige levels, you can gain a maximum of 10 hours’ worth of double XP tokens through the prestige system.
Seasonal battle pass
The battle pass will have new weapons, operator skins and other goodies for enterprising players to earn. But most importantly, they have coveted double XP tokens.
As Black Ops 6 enters season 1, it has been confirmed that the battle pass will offer double player XP and double weapon XP tokens on multiple unlockable tiers. The premium battle pass requires a Call of Duty point investment from players, but there are double XP tokens on free battle pass tiers that anyone can earn by just playing the game.
Giveaways through official channels
Occasionally, codes for double XP tokens are shared on official Call of Duty communication channels. Most recently, the Call of Duty account on X ran a giveaway where players could earn up to 3 hours of double player XP, weapon XP and battle pass XP before the launch of Black Ops 6. It’s worth keeping an eye on Call of Duty’s social media pages to spot future double XP token giveaways.
Paying for XP tokens in Black Ops 6
Opening your wallet and shelling out some cash is the quickest way to nab some double XP tokens to level up your Call of Duty gameplay. These are the most reliable ways to secure some tokens for your account.
Microtransactions
The CODE Endeavour: Tracer Pack is the first Black Ops 6 microtransaction to include double XP tokens.
Double XP tokens are included in certain purchasable bundles in Black Ops 6. The first available bundle, the CODE Endeavour: Tracer Pack, has two double XP tokens. There’s a 1-hour double-player XP token and a 1-hour double weapon XP token. The Tracer Pack: Cash Bandit Reactive introduced in Season 1 also contains a 1-hour double-player XP token.
Future bundles and microtransactions will also likely include double XP tokens.
External promotions
If you buy a promotional can of Monster Energy, you should find a code for Call of Duty loot under the pull ring.
Call of Duty is partnered with external brands including Monster Energy and Little Caesars, which can bring special campaigns to Black Ops 6 players. Buying products from these brands and redeeming reward codes allows gamers to earn Call of Duty Points, exclusive operator skins, weapon skins, weapon blueprints, weapon vinyls, calling cards and emblems. Most importantly, you’ll have a chance to earn double XP tokens to use in the multiplayer and zombies modes in Black Ops 6.
What happened with MW3 double XP tokens in Black Ops 6?
When players started grinding the multiplayer and zombies modes in the latest Call of Duty game, they were in for a nasty surprise: None of the double XP tokens they had previously earned in Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 were available to activate in Black Ops 6 lobbies.
Season 1 reintegrated legacy double XP tokens, but they were quietly taken back out of the game a day later. Black Ops 6 players were outraged by this turn of events, with some particularly cunning individuals taking action to find a loophole that allowed them to activate double XP tokens outside of Black Ops 6 multiplayer lobbies.
On Saturday, developer Treyarch issued an apology, admitting that the legacy double XP tokens were removed because the feature “introduced some potential risk to game stability.” The development team recommitted themselves to bringing legacy double XP tokens back to Black Ops 6, and acknowledged — and officially sanctioned — the use of the loophole that players have been using to activate their legacy double XP tokens in the meantime.
Do you have legacy XP tokens tied up in your Call of Duty HQ that you don’t know how to activate? Here’s how to use MW3 double XP tokens in Black Ops 6 until the patch arrives.
How to use legacy double XP tokens in Black Ops 6
While Treyarch is working on a patch that will allow players to activate their double XP tokens from the Black Ops 6 multiplayer menu, there’s currently no way to use your legacy double XP tokens with the game open. However, there is a workaround approved by the development team that will let you use the double XP tokens you’ve previously accumulated in the multiplayer modes for the game.
To use your Warzone double XP tokens in Black Ops 6, you need to load up Warzone and select any mode to enter a lobby. Once you’re there, you’ll have access to the double XP token menu in the bottom right, where you can activate any of your Warzone double XP tokens. If you go back to Black Ops 6 multiplayer or zombies modes, you will have double XP active for the remaining duration of the Warzone token’s boost.
