You were probably elated to see your leftover MW3 Double XP Tokens reactivated in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 fans, and equally as dismayed to see them vanish again. There is a reason why Activision has done this, but there is good news on the horizon.
Many Modern Warfare 3 players held onto their Double XP Tokens toward the end of the shooter’s lifecycle. This was to use them at the beginning of Black Ops 6 and get a big boost toward faster leveling up. However, Activision and Treyarch decided to not carry legacy tokens over, leaving everyone to start from scratch.
It seemed the companies reneged on the decision with the launch of Black Ops 6 Season One. All Double XP legacy tokens suddenly became active—and I can’t express my joy at seeing hours of Double XP in my grasp. In the blink of an eye, they were gone again—but don’t worry, all is not as bad as it seems.
Where Have my Black Ops 6 Double XP Tokens?
Your Black Ops 6 Double XP Tokens have gone because Treyarch has disabled them to due “potential risk to game stability.”
It turns out you were not supposed to be able to access your Double XP legacy tokens in Black Ops 6, and this was an accident caused by a Season One launch “UI bug.”
Treyarch informed everyone of the situation via an X message on social media, “With the start of Season 01, a UI bug allowed players to activate legacy XP tokens in Black Ops 6. Unfortunately, it also introduced some potential risk to game stability, which is why it was patched yesterday.”
In more positive news, the developer has acknowledged how important legacy Double XP Tokens are to the community: “We realize how much players appreciate being able to redeem legacy XP tokens in both BO6 and Warzone, so we are currently testing a way to implement this change correctly in a future update.”
Unfortunately, like the arrival of Prop Hunt, we don’t have an exact date this is scheduled to drop. All we can do is monitor Activision and Treyarch socials for the latest news on Double XP Tokens being usable in BLOPS 6 again.
How to Use Legacy Double XP Tokens in Black Ops 6
Black Ops 6 legacy Double XP Tokens are usable if you activate them through the Warzone interface, and head on back over to the BLOPS 6.
Again, per Treyarch, “Players can activate any legacy XP tokens in Warzone. Any tokens applied in Warzone also apply to Black Ops 6 should you switch titles or modes.”
So, if you’re looking to use carried-over Double XP Tokens, you need to have Warzone installed. It’s a cumbersome workaround—but a workaround nonetheless.
Do you appreciate Treyarch’s honesty and willingness to reintroduce legacy tokens? Or should it have been mandatory in the first place? Leave a comment. Plus, take a look at how to unlock the Crown Clan Tag and Kunoichi Calling Card.
