Very few games champion the grind mentality quite like Call of Duty. Camo unlocks. Weapon levels. The Prestige system. Battle passes. Whether you’re a casual COD enjoyer or a daily devotee, there’s always something for you to grind for. Black Ops 6 is no different, and to help you out with all this leveling and progression, another BO6 double XP event is arriving just in time for Christmas.
With a surprisingly good campaign, three excellent round-based Zombies map, frantic and fun multiplayer, and a low barrier to entry for millions thanks to it being on Game Pass, Black Ops 6 has certainly enjoyed a successful first couple of months. While the FPS game has experienced a few wobbles – it’s most recent, and arguably biggest, being the criticisms of its anti-cheat – I personally think this is the best COD we’ve had in years.
While millions are playing already, Christmas will undoubtedly see a surge of newcomers. To help them hit the ground running, and to also keep existing players sticking around during the festive period, a new double XP event is inbound.
This will give you twice the amount of regular XP and weapon XP, so obtaining new gear for your best Black Ops 6 loadouts and unlocking new attachments for the weapons you’re using should be super swift.
According to the in-game event tab, the Black Ops 6 double XP event kicks off on Tuesday, December 24. The double XP bonuses should also apply to Call of Duty Warzone. There’s currently no indication as to when this will end, but it will likely continue on until the start of the new year. While you should absolutely take advantage of the boosted XP over the holidays, just remember to spend at least a bit of time with your nearest and dearest…
Another Black Ops 6 event that’s running at the moment is Archie’s Festival Frenzy, which concludes on Friday, January 3. This event lets you earn Archie figurines by eliminating opponents in BO6 or opening supply caches in Warzone, and you can exchange them for some freebies. Redeeming 12 rewards will also unlock the new AMR Mod 4 sniper rifle.
