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.
Following the Season 01 update to Black Ops 6 and Warzone, many players discovered a surplus of previously unseen XP tokens in Black Ops 6. These were quickly used to boost XP, Weapon XP, and Battle Pass progression. However, a subsequent November 15th patch addressed an issue that allowed these tokens to be activated within the Black Ops 6 UI.
These Legacy XP Tokens are unused XP tokens carried over from previous Call of Duty titles, such as Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III, or Warzone, accessible through the COD HQ app. 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 usable in Warzone, their direct activation in Black Ops 6 was temporarily disabled.

Initially, players could activate their Legacy XP Tokens from Warzone directly within Black Ops 6. This functionality was temporarily removed. However, a workaround existed: Activate the Legacy XP Tokens in Warzone. Then, launch Black Ops 6; the token and its timer would appear in the game's UI. While requiring switching between games and featuring a real-time countdown timer, this method still provided a significant XP boost.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
