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 might have tools to accelerate this process. 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 in Black Ops 6. This led to efficient XP, Weapon XP, and Battle Pass progression on launch day. However, a subsequent November 15th update addressed this, disabling the activation of these tokens directly within the Black Ops 6 interface, as noted in the Call of Duty Blog.
These Legacy XP Tokens represent unused XP tokens carried over from previous CoD titles accessible via the COD HQ app, such as Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III, or Warzone. These games offered various ways to earn them, including DMZ Missions, Battle Pass Tiers, and promotions with brands like Little Caesar’s and Monster Energy. Tokens earned in these games remained usable in Warzone. Here's how to use them (or how they were used) in Black Ops 6.
