The studio has stated that any double XP tokens earned by players, which includes rank, weapon, and Battle Pass, will only be transferred toWarzoneand will not be usable inBlack Ops 6multiplayeror Zombies. Players looking to make use of any double XP tokens within the upcoming shooter will need to earn them in-game first.
Call of Duty Fans Angered at Lack of Double XP Transfers
In response to the news, fans called the decision “lame,” while one user said that Activision was once again going one step forward and two steps back.
Activision’s refusal to transfer double XP tokens fromModern Warfare 3toBlack Ops 6has angered the community, but it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. When players transitioned toModern Warfare 3from its 2022 predecessor, Activision allowed the community to continue using all of their purchased bundles and unlocked weapons as part of its new Carry Forward feature. But with the upcoming release ofBlack Ops 6,Activision has opted to ditch the controversialCall of Dutyfeature. This means that no weapons or cosmetic items fromModern Warfare 3will be usable inBlack Ops 6, but fans, apparently, weren’t expecting this to apply to all of their double XP tokens.
In response to the news, fans called the decision “lame,” while one user said that Activision was once again going one step forward and two steps back. However, a large portion of the community has begun speculating that it may be possible to activate thedouble XP tokens withinWarzoneand then jump back intoBlack Ops 6multiplayer to make use of them, as this was previously possible in the days ofBlack Ops Cold War. As this is likely something Activision wants to avoid, there’s no way to know if the tactic will work untilBlack Ops 6is released in October.
