Black Ops 6: Legacy XP Tokens Guide for Enhanced Gameplay

Author:Kristen Update:Jan 17,2025

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 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 in Black Ops 6. These were quickly used to boost XP, Weapon XP, and Battle Pass progression. However, a November 15th patch addressed a bug that allowed these tokens to be activated within the Black Ops 6 interface.

These Legacy XP Tokens are unused XP tokens carried over from previous Call of Duty games accessible via the COD HQ app, such as Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III, or Warzone. These tokens were earned through various methods in those games, including DMZ missions, Battle Pass tiers, and promotions with brands like Little Caesar's and Monster Energy. While usable in Warzone, their application in Black Ops 6 required a workaround.

The solution involved activating Legacy XP Tokens within Warzone. Once activated, the token and its timer would then appear in the Black Ops 6 UI. While this method required switching between games and XP tokens had real-time timers, it provided a means to expedite leveling in Black Ops 6.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
