UPDATE 11/16: Treyarch has issued a statement on the legacy XP token issue, promising thatthey will be redeemable through Black Ops 6at some point in the near future.
Original story follows.
ManyCall of Duty: Black Ops 6players are reportedly unable to use some of their Double XP Tokens, which has caused controversy. The release ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 6Season 1 introduced many new things to the game, but some players are frustrated with some Double XP issues.
Double XP has been a prominent feature of theCall of Dutyseries since the early days of its multiplayer. While earlier releases likeCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2andBlack Ops 1relied on Double XP weekends, recent releases likeVanguardandBlack Ops: Cold Warhave combined this tactic with usable XP Tokens. Each XP Token has its own duration, ranging from 15 minutes to one hour. This allows players to earn Double XP at select moments rather than during weekends specified by the developer. WithBlack Ops 6including Double XP Tokensin its Battle Pass, some players are confused as to why they can’t use their legacy tokens.
Asreported by GameSpotand shared by manyCall of Dutycommunity members, legacy Double XP Tokens carried forward fromModern Warfare 3andWarzonehave been disabled. Although they were briefly activated with the release ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 6Season 1, Treyarch has disabled the legacy XP Tokens in favor of new ones that can be unlocked through the Battle Pass. Treyarch has responded to the situation, saying that there was an issue that “incorrectly allowed legacy XP tokens to be activated in theBlack Ops 6UI.” Despite the missing Double XP Tokens inBlack Ops 6’s game modes, some players report that they can still use them inWarzoneafter the latest update. While this limits the availability to gamers playing the Battle Royale, the community still has fresh content to spend the Tokens on.
Treyarch Sparks Controversy With Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 XP Tokens
MultipleBlack Ops 6Battle Passtiers include Double XP Tokens, making some fans wonder what the difference is between the legacy and modern ones. Beyond the Battle Pass Tokens, players can also unlock Double XP from partners like Monster Energy and Little Caesars Pizza. As many gamers spent countless hours grinding XP and Weapon XP inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, some may have intended to use the XP Tokens inBlack Ops 6. Though it wasn’t explicitly advertised, Treyarch and some community members warned gamers ahead of time that these Tokens may not be eligible in the game. The key issue appears to be the fact that these Tokens initially worked inBlack Ops 6, but they were taken away, showing that there may not have been a specific problem preventing their inclusion.
AlthoughBlack Ops 6players can’t use their stockpile of XP Tokens from earlier games, they should still be able to use them inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. AsTreyarch continues to updateBlack Ops 6, it will be interesting to see if this backlash could potentially result in a return of legacy XP Token or more Double XP weekends.
