"Legacy XP Tokens Guide for Black Ops 6"

by Violet Apr 18,2025

The return of the classic *Call of Duty* Prestige system has reignited the XP grind in *Black Ops 6*, making it more exciting than ever for fans. If you've been playing recent titles like *Modern Warfare 3* and *Warzone*, you might have a secret weapon to speed up your progress: Legacy XP Tokens. Let’s dive into what these are and how you can use them in *Black Ops 6*.

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

After the Season 01 update rolled out for *Black Ops 6* and *Warzone*, many players found themselves with a surprising stash of XP tokens. These were dubbed Legacy XP Tokens, and they led to a frenzy of grinding for XP, Weapon XP, and Battle Pass progression on launch day. However, a subsequent update on November 15th "fixed an issue that incorrectly allowed legacy XP tokens to be activated in the Black Ops 6 UI," as reported by the *Call of Duty* Blog.

So, what exactly are these Legacy XP Tokens? They are any unused XP tokens you've earned from previous *Call of Duty* titles, accessible through the *COD HQ* app. These tokens could have been earned in games like *Modern Warfare II*, *Modern Warfare III*, or *Warzone* through various means such as DMZ Missions, Battle Pass Tiers, and even promotions with brands like Little Caesar’s and Monster Energy. If you earned XP tokens in these games, they remain available for use in *Warzone* and, with a bit of maneuvering, in *Black Ops 6*.

How To Use Warzone XP Tokens in Black Ops 6

At the launch of Season 01, players could directly activate their Legacy XP Tokens from *Warzone* within *Black Ops 6*. Unfortunately, this feature was disabled for a while, but a workaround emerged that allowed players to still benefit from these tokens for boosting 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*, and the token, along with its countdown timer, will appear in your UI. The only catch is that you'll need to juggle between the games, and remember, XP Tokens countdown in real time. Despite this minor inconvenience, using these tokens is a fantastic way to level up faster in *Black Ops 6*.

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