Legacy Tokens Empower Black Ops 6 Gameplay

Author:Kristen Update:Jan 25,2025

The return of the classic Call of Duty Prestige system in Black Ops 6 has made XP grinding more popular than ever. Players familiar with recent CoD titles like Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone can leverage existing resources to accelerate their progress. This guide explains how to utilize Legacy XP Tokens in Black Ops 6.

Understanding Legacy XP Tokens in Black Ops 6

Following the Season 01 update for Black Ops 6 and Warzone, many players discovered a surplus of previously unseen XP tokens in Black Ops 6. This initially allowed for efficient XP, Weapon XP, and Battle Pass progression. However, a November 15th patch addressed this, disabling the direct activation of these tokens within the Black Ops 6 interface, as noted in the Call of Duty Blog.

These Legacy XP Tokens are unused XP tokens carried over from previous CoD titles accessible through the COD HQ app, such as Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III, or Warzone. These tokens were earned through various methods in those games, including DMZ missions, Battle Pass tiers, and promotions with brands like Little Caesar's and Monster Energy. While directly using them in Black Ops 6 was temporarily disabled, they remain usable in Warzone.

Using Warzone XP Tokens in Black Ops 6

At the Season 01 launch, players could activate their Warzone Legacy XP tokens directly within Black Ops 6. This functionality was temporarily removed. The workaround involved activating the tokens in Warzone first. The activated token and its timer would then appear in the Black Ops 6 UI. This method required switching between game menus and the tokens had a real-time countdown. Despite this inconvenience, it provided a means to accelerate leveling in Black Ops 6.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
