The classic *Call of Duty* Prestige system is back with a vengeance in *Black Ops 6*, and the XP grind is hotter than ever. If you've been playing recent *CoD* titles like *Modern Warfare 3* and *Warzone*, you might have a secret weapon to speed up your progression: Legacy XP Tokens. Here’s everything you need to know about using these tokens 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 were surprised to find a stash of XP tokens in *Black Ops 6* that hadn't been there before. Savvy gamers jumped at the chance, using these tokens to turbocharge their XP, Weapon XP, and Battle Pass progression on launch day. However, a subsequent update on November 15th put a stop to this, as the *Call of Duty* Blog announced they "fixed an issue that incorrectly allowed legacy XP tokens to be activated in the Black Ops 6 UI."
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 could be from games like *Modern Warfare II*, *Modern Warfare III*, or *Warzone*. You might have earned these tokens through various methods such as completing DMZ Missions, reaching Battle Pass Tiers, or participating in promotions with brands like Little Caesar’s and Monster Energy. If you've got them in *Warzone*, you can still use them to boost your progress in *Black Ops 6*.

When Season 01 launched, players could directly activate their Legacy XP Tokens from *Warzone* within *Black Ops 6*. Unfortunately, this feature was removed temporarily. However, a clever workaround allowed players to still leverage these tokens to enhance their XP, Weapon XP, and Battle Pass progression in *Black Ops 6*.
The process was simple: if you had Legacy XP Tokens in *Warzone*, you activated them there. Then, you switched over to *Black Ops 6*, where the token and its countdown timer would appear in your UI. While this method required some menu-hopping, and the tokens do run in real time, it was a valuable 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.*
