Key Takeaways
- Black Ops 6 will soon allow players to use legacy XP tokens.
- Treyarch responded to fan feedback by promising to add the feature.
- A workaround for redeeming XP tokens in Warzone and then switching to Black Ops 6 is still effective.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is going to let fans use their legacy XP tokens. When it first launched, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 did not let fans utilize XP tokens that they earned in previous Call of Duty games and Warzone. That changed when Black Ops 6 Season 1 launched, though the ability to activate legacy XP tokens was quickly rescinded.
Call of Duty fans figured out workarounds to use their legacy XP tokens in Black Ops 6, like redeeming them in Warzone and then switching back over to the new game. Still, many called on Treyarch and Activision to let Call of Duty players simply activate their legacy XP tokens in Black Ops 6 itself.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Just Broke a 9-Year Streak
The recently-released Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 reportedly breaks a nine-year streak for the first-person shooter franchise.
Treyarch has now issued a statement on the matter. It seems that a bug caused legacy XP tokens to appear in Black Ops 6 with the start of Season 1, and that this “introduced some potential risk to game stability.” That supposed risk to game stability is why Treyarch disabled legacy XP tokens in Black Ops 6. But because of the community backlash, Treyarch is “testing a way to implement this change correctly in a future update.” More information is coming next week, but the takeaway is that at some point in the future, Black Ops 6 players will once again be able to use their legacy XP tokens in the game.
Black Ops 6 Will Soon Let You Use Legacy XP Tokens
While fans wait for Treyarch to implement the feature properly, the workaround still works. Those that have the Call of Duty: Warzone battle royale installed can pop into it, redeem their tokens, and then jump back to Black Ops 6 and enjoy their benefits. Those that don’t have any XP tokens can look forward to Double XP events, though it’s unclear exactly when the next one will take place.
The quick response to the Black Ops 6 legacy XP token controversy is another clear example of Treyarch listening to feedback from fans and acting on it. The developer was previously praised for keeping the Nuketown 24/7 playlist in the game even after introducing Stakeout 24/7, as previous Call of Duty games would have swapped one for the other. That being said, the latest playlist updates have not been as popular, with Treyarch dumping both Nuketown 24/7 and Stakeout 24/7 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and introducing a new playlist that combines Nuketown and a Gunfight map inspired by it, Warhead.
