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 might have a head start. 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. These were quickly used to boost XP, Weapon XP, and Battle Pass progression. However, a subsequent November 15th update addressed a bug that allowed these tokens to be activated within the Black Ops 6 interface.
These Legacy XP Tokens are unused tokens carried over from previous CoD titles, such as Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III, or Warzone, accessible via 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 the direct activation in Black Ops 6 was patched, the tokens remain usable in Warzone.

Initially, players could activate their Warzone Legacy XP tokens directly within Black Ops 6. This functionality was temporarily disabled. However, a workaround existed: activate the tokens in Warzone. The activated token and its timer would then appear in the Black Ops 6 UI. While this required switching between games and tokens had real-time timers, it provided a method for faster leveling in Black Ops 6.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
