Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players, get ready to level up fast! The next double XP weekend is just around the corner, giving you the perfect opportunity to climb those Prestige ranks and unlock new gear. Let’s dive into the details of this upcoming XP bonanza and how you can make the most of it.
When is the Next Black Ops 6 Double XP Weekend?
Mark your calendars, soldiers! The next double XP weekend for Black Ops 6 kicks off on Friday, March 28, 2025 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 5 PM GMT. This event is set to run through Monday, March 31, giving you a full long weekend to rack up those sweet, sweet experience points.
What’s Included in This Double XP Event?
This isn’t just your standard double XP affair. Treyarch is pulling out all the stops for the final weekend of Season 2, offering a “quad feed” of bonuses:
- Double Player XP
- Double Weapon XP
- Double Battle Pass XP
- Double GobbleGum earn rate (for Zombies mode)
Whether you’re grinding multiplayer ranks, leveling up weapons, pushing through Battle Pass tiers, or stocking up on Zombies power-ups, there’s something for everyone in this event.
How to Make the Most of Double XP Weekend
To maximize your gains during this XP extravaganza, consider these strategies:
Focus on Objective Game Modes
Modes like Domination, Hardpoint, and Kill Confirmed typically offer more XP due to their objective-based nature and longer match durations. Playing the objective aggressively can significantly boost your XP earnings.
Tackle Those Challenges
Daily and weekly challenges offer substantial XP rewards. During double XP, these bonuses are even more lucrative. Check your challenge list and prioritize completing as many as possible.
Zombies Players: Round Up Those GobbleGums
With double GobbleGum earn rates, Zombies mode becomes an XP goldmine. Focus on surviving longer rounds and completing Easter eggs to maximize your rewards.
Warzone Warriors: Drop into Resurgence or Plunder
For battle royale fans, Resurgence and Plunder modes offer fast-paced action with frequent respawns, perfect for farming XP quickly.
Unlock New Weapons
Take advantage of the double weapon XP to quickly level up and unlock attachments for new firearms like the PPSh-41 SMG from the Season 2 Battle Pass or the TR2 marksman rifle from the Shadow Hunt event.
The Return of Classic Prestige
Black Ops 6 brought back the beloved classic Prestige system, making these double XP weekends more crucial than ever. Here’s a quick refresher on how Prestige works in BO6:
- Reach level 55 to unlock the option to Prestige
- Prestiging resets your rank to 1 but grants exclusive rewards
- You keep weapon progress and challenge completions
- Earn a Permanent Unlock token with each Prestige
- Reach Prestige Master at level 1000 for ultimate bragging rights
With 10 Prestige levels to work through, plus 1000 additional Prestige Master levels, the grind is real – but so are the rewards.
Looking Ahead: Season 3 and Verdansk
This double XP weekend comes just days before the launch of Season 3 on April 3, 2025. Rumors are swirling about the return of the fan-favorite Verdansk map to Warzone, making this the perfect time to level up and prepare for the new content drop.
Remember, while double XP weekends are exciting, don’t burn yourself out. Play at a pace that’s fun for you, and enjoy the game. There will always be more opportunities to rank up in the future.
Good luck out there, operators. May your aim be true and your XP gains be plentiful!
