Double XP weekends are every Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 player’s dream—an unbeatable chance to grind hard, level up faster, and unlock all the goodies you’ve been eyeing. Whether you’re chasing Prestige or crafting the ultimate weapon loadout, missing these events is not an option. Here’s the lowdown on the upcoming event and how to make the most of it.
When’s the Next Double XP Weekend?
Rumor has it, the next Double XP weekend kicks off on Friday, December 24, though we’re still waiting for Treyarch’s official announcement.
This intel comes from the in-game event tab, which accurately teased the last event starting on December 13. If the schedule stays consistent, expect the XP bonanza to run from Friday morning through Monday night, giving you plenty of time to grind.
What’s Boosted During Double XP?
Based on previous events, here’s what you can expect to level up at double speed:
- Double XP: Level up your account twice as fast. Whether you’re chasing Prestige or just catching up to your squad, this is your moment.
- Double Weapon XP: Unlock attachments and max out your guns in no time. Thinking about grinding that tricky sniper or LMG? Now’s the time.
- Double Battle Pass XP: Climb those tiers and snag cosmetics, blueprints, and end-tier rewards faster than ever.
- Double GobbleGum Earn Rate (Zombies): Zombies players get double the GobbleGums, making Easter eggs, high rounds, and boss fights way easier to tackle.
Why Does Double XP Weekend Matter?
Prestige Grind Simplified
Reaching Prestige Master is no small feat, but Double XP weekends cut down the grind significantly. It’s the ultimate time to flex your dedication.
Loadout Perfection
Unlock every attachment for your favorite weapons with Double Weapon XP. Whether you’re building the perfect SMG setup or refining your sniper build, this event has your back.
Zombies Players, Rejoice
Farming GobbleGum is a must during Double XP. These consumables are game-changers for high rounds and secret objectives, so stock up while you can.
How to Prep for Double XP Weekend
-
Plan Your Grind:
- Make a list of weapons you want to level up. Prioritize guns that are hard to grind, like snipers or less-used LMGs.
-
Choose XP-Friendly Modes:
- Hardpoint/Domination: Great for objective XP.
- Kill Confirmed: Consistent kills and tag pickups.
- Nuketown (if available): Non-stop action for massive XP gains.
-
Use XP Tokens:
- If you have XP boosters, stack them with the event to multiply your gains. Just don’t forget to activate them before a match!
-
Squad Up:
- Team up with friends for better coordination on kills and objectives. Grinding together is way more fun—and efficient.
Holiday Surprises Incoming?
Since this Double XP weekend lands during the Holidays, Treyarch might sprinkle in some festive treats. Here’s what we might see:
- Exclusive Holiday Challenges: Completing them could unlock limited-time charms, calling cards, or other seasonal rewards.
- Winter-Themed Modes: Maps like Nuketown might get a snowy makeover.
- Double Everything? It’s the season of giving, so Treyarch might boost all XP categories for the weekend!
