Treyarch Fixes Annoying Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Issue

Treyarch has announced a fix for an issue in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 that limited some players’ double XP gains during the game’s first 2XP weekend. The latest entry in the Call of Duty franchise hadn’t even been out for a week before an event offered twice the amount of experience in its multiplayer mode, but unlucky users quickly found the event wasn’t working as intended. After issuing an update to address it, Black Ops 6‘s developers have extended the double XP weekend to give players more time to capitalize on it.

It didn’t take long for Call of Duty fans to discover the bug. Players called out the issue with Black Ops 6‘s first 2XP weekend not even a day into the event, with one user earning just 6,000 XP for a game where they scored 12,340. The difference was so stark that some even suggested that Treyarch and Activision intentionally lowered the amount of experience for the weekend. Now, it’s clear that wasn’t the case, and gamers should be able to get the XP they’d expect from the event, with an extra day added to make up for it.

When’s the Next Double XP Weekend in Black Ops 6?

Players who want to know when the next Black Ops 6 double XP weekend is scheduled or when the current one ends have come to the right place.

The official Treyarch account announced the update on Twitter on November 2, a day after the event started. Because some effectively missed out on a day of earning bonus XP, the “weekend” will now last until Tuesday, November 5. It’s also worth noting that the tweet said devs will keep reviewing the game’s progression system, suggesting further updates may be in store down the line. That’s not unusual for multiplayer titles, especially new ones, and should mean that players won’t need to turn to Black Ops 6‘s double XP tokens to move up through the ranks.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Has Had a Blockbuster Launch

Experience bugs or not, Black Ops 6 has had no trouble getting people to play the game. As a franchise, Call of Duty broke half a billion sales not long after its latest release. While the new Black Ops isn’t solely responsible for that massive figure, its much-anticipated release certainly helped.

The double XP system’s issues haven’t stopped players from leveling up at breakneck speed, either. For example, one Black Ops 6 player achieved Prestige Master five days after the game’s launch. The new day added to the 2XP event may help some others catch up. Regardless of any hiccups in the title’s early days, though, one thing is certain — Black Ops 6 has made a mark on players and the CoD franchise as a whole.

Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.

The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.

In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.

Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
