Key Takeaways

Treyarch has dropped a new update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 that returns legacy XP tokens after some previous issues. In addition, the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 update comes with improvements to the game’s stability and quality-of-life features across various areas. Players are passionate about double XP tokens in Call of Duty titles, considering how difficult they can be to get a hold of in the first place. It can be frustrating if tokens that a gamer has been holding on to suddenly lose their value.

Community feedback has played a large part in the release of the newest entry to the long-running FPS series, and the ability to use XP tokens from other titles in Black Ops 6 is valued by a significant portion of the game’s community. Knowing that commitment to the Call of Duty franchise can be rewarded and having valuable items like legacy XP tokens carry over is one way of reassuring the fans that the time they spend playing the games is equally valuable to the developers.

Treyarch’s November 18 update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 enables the support of legacy XP tokens once again. There has been some controversy surrounding Black Ops 6‘s inclusion of legacy XP tokens. Treyarch explained that at the beginning of Season 1, a bug in the game’s UI enabled the activation of legacy tokens. Although players enjoyed having the option available, using legacy XP tokens while Black Ops 6 was in this state led to stability issues, so the option was removed. The newest patch enables proper support for legacy XP tokens.

The new update makes good on Treyarch’s promise to rectify issues with legacy XP token support and also improves the game’s stability. Hitmarker UI has been updated to simplify identifying individual shots, and a weapon sight alignment issue for Weaver’s Repairman Operator skin has been resolved. An issue for various camos in Black Ops 6 has been fixed, in which camos from previous games would be applied to Black Ops 6 weapons, likely an issue related to many of the newest Call of Duty titles using the same general launcher.

Furthermore, view-based vehicle steering controls have been fixed, along with storefront preview video load time, text translation issues in the attachment menu, and overall game stability. Black Ops 6 updates have been very consistent in general, but following the launch of Season 1, patches to improve stability seem to have taken priority to ensure that the user experience is great across the board.
