Extended Double XP Weekend in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
The world of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is buzzing with excitement as Treyarch has announced an extended double XP weekend for all players. Initially planned as a five-day event, the double XP weekend has been stretched to a full seven-day extravaganza, running from Thursday, February 6, to Wednesday, February 12. This extension comes as a response to a recent PlayStation Network (PSN) outage, giving players more time to enjoy the boosts. During this period, players will earn double player XP, double weapon XP, and a double GobbleGum earn rate in both multiplayer and Zombies modes. However, this event does not include a double battle pass XP boost, likely because Black Ops 6 Season 2 is still in its early stages.
What to Expect During the Double XP Weekend
The double XP weekend is already live, meaning players can start earning double XP in any multiplayer match or Zombies game they play. This is the perfect opportunity to level up quickly, unlock new gear, and progression rewards. Additionally, the event coincides with the highly anticipated Terminator crossover, which adds even more excitement to the gameplay. Players can use the double XP boosts to power level their accounts while collecting skulls to unlock exclusive Terminator-themed rewards. For example, leveling up the new PPSh-41 SMG with double weapon XP is a smart move, and the double GobbleGum drop rate means players can earn rare items like Dead Drop, Modified Chaos, and Quacknarok GobbleGums faster than usual.
Call of Duty: Warzone Joins the Double XP Fun
Call of Duty: Warzone players are also in for a treat, as the double XP weekend extends to the battle royale mode. During this event, Warzone players will benefit from double player XP and double weapon XP, allowing them to level up their weapons and unlock new attachments. This is particularly exciting for new players, as they can use the opportunity to level up weapons unlocked from the Warzone Armory. Returning players, on the other hand, can focus on unlocking new attachments for the Black Ops 6 weapons recently added to Warzone. With double XP active, the grind just got a whole lot easier and faster.
Black Ops 6 Multiplayer Free Trial
Alongside the double XP weekend, Treyarch has also introduced a multiplayer free trial for Black Ops 6, giving new players a chance to experience the game’s multiplayer and Zombies modes. The trial ran from Thursday, February 6, to Monday, February 10, and featured a mix of new season 2 content and fan-favorite maps and modes. Players could queue into matches on maps like Nuketown, Stakeout, and the new Bounty and Dealership, as well as enjoy core modes like Team Deathmatch, Hardpoint, and Gunfight. For Zombies enthusiasts, the trial included access to Liberty Falls and the Tomb. While the free trial was shorter than the extended double XP weekend, it provided an excellent opportunity for new players to dive into the world of Black Ops 6.
The Terminator Crossover Event: Skynet is Here
The Terminator crossover event is live in Black Ops 6, bringing a wave of Terminator-themed content to the game. Running until Thursday, February 20, this event allows players to collect skulls by eliminating enemies, slaying zombies, or looting caches in Warzone. These skulls can be exchanged for exclusive rewards, including a Full Auto Mod for the AEK-973 marksman rifle, a Judgment blueprint for the PP-919 SMG, and a Reactive Armor Warzone perk. Other rewards include double XP tokens, calling cards, emblems, and more. The mechanics of this event are similar to the Archie’s Festival Frenzy event from CODmas 2024, but with a Terminator twist.
