The return of the classic Call of Duty Prestige system in Black Ops 6 has made XP grinding more popular than ever. Players familiar with recent CoD titles like Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone can leverage existing resources to accelerate their progress. This guide explains how to utilize Legacy XP Tokens in Black Ops 6.
Understanding Legacy XP Tokens in Black Ops 6
Following the Season 01 update for Black Ops 6 and Warzone, many players discovered a surplus of previously unseen XP tokens. These were quickly used to boost XP, Weapon XP, and Battle Pass progression. However, a November 15th update addressed an issue that allowed these tokens to be activated within the Black Ops 6 UI.
These Legacy XP Tokens are unused XP tokens carried over from previous CoD titles, such as Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III, or Warzone, accessible through the COD HQ app. These tokens were earned through various means in those games, including DMZ missions, Battle Pass tiers, and promotions with brands like Little Caesar's and Monster Energy. While they were initially usable directly in Black Ops 6, that functionality was temporarily removed.
Utilizing Warzone XP Tokens in Black Ops 6
At the Season 01 launch, players could activate their Legacy XP tokens from Warzone and have them function in Black Ops 6. After the patch, this was no longer directly possible. However, a workaround existed:
Activate the Legacy XP Tokens within Warzone. The activated token and its timer would then appear in the Black Ops 6 UI. While this method required switching between games and tokens had real-time timers, it still provided a significant XP boost in Black Ops 6.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
