Trying to get ahead with some of the new weapons introduced in Season 3 Reloaded? Black Ops 6 developer Treyarch has your back with a new double XP weekend — players have been able to benefit from two double XP weekends in a row during May. This event only features a double battle pass XP boost, allowing dedicated players to blast through tiers to claim the final rewards during the latter half of Season 3. This double XP weekend runs from Thursday, May 15, to Monday, May 19.
Anyone playing Black Ops 6 during the event period has a universal double battle pass XP earn rate applied to their account. If you log in now, you can hop into battle and reap the rewards of this double XP weekend right away, including the HDR sniper rifle and the CR-56 AMAX assault rifle. Battle pass progression has been notoriously slow during Season 3, with no quad feed double XP boosts in sight — this event seems like an olive branch to help players make it to the finish line just in time for the end of the season.
It’s a good time to use double player XP and double weapon XP tokens to stack your boosts — they can help you level up your new battle pass weapons, alongside the Ladra SMG from the season 3 High Art event.
