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 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.
What are Legacy XP Tokens in Black Ops 6?
Following the Season 01 update for 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 patch addressed a bug that allowed these tokens to be activated within the Black Ops 6 interface.
These Legacy XP Tokens are unused XP tokens carried over from previous Call of Duty titles, accessible through the COD HQ app. Games like Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III, and Warzone offered various ways to earn these tokens, including DMZ missions, Battle Pass tiers, and promotions. Tokens earned in these games remain usable in Warzone. Here's how to use them in Black Ops 6.

Using Warzone XP Tokens in Black Ops 6
Initially, players could activate their Warzone Legacy XP tokens directly within Black Ops 6. This functionality was temporarily removed. However, a workaround existed.
The workaround involved activating the Legacy XP Tokens in Warzone. After activation, the token and its timer would appear in the Black Ops 6 UI. While this method required switching between game menus and the tokens had real-time timers, it provided a way to speed up leveling in Black Ops 6.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
