"Legacy XP Tokens Guide for Black Ops 6"

The return of the classic *Call of Duty* Prestige system has reignited the XP grind in *Black Ops 6*, making it more popular than ever. Fans who have played recent titles like *Modern Warfare 3* and *Warzone* have a unique advantage with Legacy XP Tokens. Here’s a detailed guide on how to leverage these tokens in *Black Ops 6*.

What Is a Legacy XP Token in Black Ops 6? Answered

Following the Season 01 update for *Black Ops 6* and *Warzone*, many players discovered a surprising influx of XP tokens in *Black Ops 6*. This unexpected boon allowed fans to make significant progress in XP, Weapon XP, and Battle Pass on the launch day of Season 01. However, a subsequent update on November 15th, as reported by the *Call of Duty* Blog, "fixed an issue that incorrectly allowed legacy XP tokens to be activated in the Black Ops 6 UI."

So, what exactly are these Legacy XP Tokens? They are any unused XP tokens that players have earned from previous *Call of Duty* titles, accessible through the *COD HQ* app. These tokens could have been acquired from games like *Modern Warfare II*, *Modern Warfare III*, or *Warzone* through various means such as DMZ Missions, Battle Pass Tiers, and promotional events with brands like Little Caesar’s and Monster Energy. If you earned these tokens in the aforementioned games, they remain available for use in *Warzone*. Here’s how you can utilize them in *Black Ops 6*.

How To Use Warzone XP Tokens in Black Ops 6

Initially, on the launch of Season 01, players could directly activate their Legacy XP Tokens from *Warzone* within *Black Ops 6*. However, this feature was temporarily disabled. Fortunately, a workaround emerged that allowed players to still benefit from these tokens to boost their XP, Weapon XP, and Battle Pass progression in *Black Ops 6*.

The process is quite straightforward. If you have Legacy XP Tokens available in *Warzone*, you activate them there. Then, you switch over to *Black Ops 6*, where the token and its countdown timer will appear in your UI. The only downside is the need to navigate between menus, and remember that XP Tokens run in real time. Despite this, using this method can significantly speed up your leveling in *Black Ops 6*.
