If you’re looking for your next hit of double experience in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, you’re not alone. While developer Treyarch frequently runs double XP weekends for the most recent Call of Duty game, not every player can take advantage of the full event.
When the weekend is over, players are often left looking for ways to keep the speedy XP gain they grew accustomed to. The solution is double XP tokens, which can help gamers level up their player level, weapon levels and battle pass tiers twice as fast.
Many players have an ample supply of Black Ops 6 double XP tokens, but with Black Ops 7 arriving in just a few months, now is the time to start earning double XP tokens for the next game, too. If you know where to look, there are giveaways and promotions that will help you get a head start in the next Call of Duty game.
With multiple seasons of unlockable guns and melee weapons to catch up on and the introduction of the new XP-based Warzone Armory, players will be benefiting from double weapon XP more than ever before.
If you don’t know how to get more double XP tokens to keep leveling up quickly after double XP weekends, we’re here to help. Here’s every way you can use double XP tokens in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 right now.
Can you use double XP tokens on Double XP Weekend?
Black Ops 6 and Warzone players aren’t able to activate double XP tokens during a double XP weekend. When attempting to open the double XP token menu to activate your tokens, they’ll be grayed out and unable to be interacted with for the duration of the event.
Any double XP time that players had activated before double XP weekend will be frozen, and will reactivate once the universal double XP boost comes to an end. Players will also be able to continue activating their double XP tokens after Sunday, Dec. 1 at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT), when the double XP weekend wraps up.
How to earn free XP tokens in Black Ops 6
Most of the ways to earn Black Ops 6’s double XP tokens involve microtransactions or external marketing campaigns, but there are still some ways to earn the boosts without spending a single cent.
Multiplayer prestige
In addition to operator skins, weapon skins, zombies gobblegums, calling cards and emblems, advancing your account to a new prestige grants you a 1-hour XP token.
Reaching max rank and choosing to prestige your account is the most reliable way to earn double XP tokens in Black Ops 6. Each time you enter a new prestige level, you’ll be rewarded with a 1-hour token for double player XP. Since there are 10 player prestige levels, you can gain a maximum of 10 hours’ worth of double XP tokens through the prestige system.
Seasonal battle pass
The battle pass will have new weapons, operator skins and other goodies for enterprising players to earn. But most importantly, they have coveted double XP tokens.
As Black Ops 6 enters season 1, it has been confirmed that the battle pass will offer double player XP and double weapon XP tokens on multiple unlockable tiers. The premium battle pass requires a Call of Duty point investment from players, but there are double XP tokens on free battle pass tiers that anyone can earn by just playing the game.
Giveaways through official channels
Occasionally, codes for double XP tokens are shared on official Call of Duty communication channels. Most recently, the Call of Duty account on X ran a giveaway where players could earn up to 3 hours of double player XP, weapon XP and battle pass XP before the launch of Black Ops 6. It’s worth keeping an eye on Call of Duty’s social media pages to spot future double XP token giveaways.
Paying for XP tokens in Black Ops 6
Opening your wallet and shelling out some cash is the quickest way to nab some double XP tokens to level up your Call of Duty gameplay. These are the most reliable ways to secure some tokens for your account.
Microtransactions
The CODE Endeavour: Tracer Pack is the first Black Ops 6 microtransaction to include double XP tokens.
Double XP tokens are included in certain purchasable bundles in Black Ops 6. The first available bundle, the CODE Endeavour: Tracer Pack, has two double XP tokens. There’s a 1-hour double-player XP token and a 1-hour double weapon XP token. The Tracer Pack: Cash Bandit Reactive, introduced in Season 1, also contains a 1-hour double-player XP token.
Future bundles and microtransactions will also likely include double XP tokens.
External promotions
If you buy a promotional can of Monster Energy, you should find a code for Call of Duty loot under the pull ring.
Call of Duty is partnered with external brands, including Monster Energy and Little Caesars, which can bring special campaigns to Black Ops 6 players. Buying products from these brands and redeeming reward codes allows gamers to earn Call of Duty Points, exclusive operator skins, weapon skins, weapon blueprints, weapon vinyls, calling cards and emblems. Most importantly, you’ll have a chance to earn double XP tokens to use in the multiplayer and zombies modes in Black Ops 6.
Stock up on double XP tokens for Black Ops 7
There might not be many external promotions left for Black Ops 6’s life cycle, but the collaborations are already ramping up for Black Ops 7. Monster Energy has partnered with Activision once more, bringing new cosmetic rewards and healthy heaps of XP tokens to the table before the next Call of Duty launches.
Will Black Ops 6 double XP tokens be usable in Black Ops 7?
While we don’t know for certain whether or not Black Ops 6 double XP tokens will carry over to the next game, it’s safe to assume that they will not. The double XP tokens from Modern Warfare 3 never properly carried over to Black Ops 6, and we already have confirmation that no weapon or operator skins from Black Ops 6 will carry over to 7.
What is likely, however, is that the common loophole to use legacy double XP tokens will still work by the time Black Ops 7 launches. If you want to use your double XP tokens from older Call of Duty games, you can access them from the Warzone menu.
Once the double XP tokens are activated in Warzone, players can navigate the Call of Duty hub to their intended game — in this case, that would be Black Ops 7 — and reap the rewards of double XP while playing multiplayer modes.
You can unlock operator skins and double XP tokens for the next Call of Duty game before it even comes out.
How to earn Black Ops 7 double XP tokens now
Monster Energy has partnered with Call of Duty to put together a promotion that will look very familiar to Black Ops 6 fans. Specially marked cans of Monster Energy include codes that unlock Black Ops 7 rewards, including operator skins, weapon blueprints, decals and sweet, sweet double XP tokens. Here’s the order in which you’ll earn Call of Duty Black Ops 7 rewards by redeeming Monster Energy codes.
- Energy Flash decal and 15-minute double XP token unlocked with the first code.

- Daylight Ripper operator skin and 15-minute double XP token unlocked with the fifth code.
There are no unique cosmetic rewards to be gained after redeeming the first five codes, but that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck. Every subsequent code redemption unlocks an additional 15-minute double XP token to use on your Black Ops 7 account. These promotional codes must be used by March 31, 2026, in order to provide the rewards listed above.
