Treyarch has enabled, disabled, and is now reintroducing legacy XP tokens in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Along with five multiplayer maps – three of which are brand new – free and premium content, a new Zombies “experience in-season”, and full integration with Call of Duty’s spin-off battle royale, Warzone, Black Ops 6’s Season 1 also introduced something else – legacy XP tokens.
Turns out the latter was an accident, though, as no sooner did players spot legacy XP tokens in the new shooter, developer Treyarch “fixed an issue that incorrectly allowed legacy XP tokens to be activated in Black Ops 6 UI”.

If you were frustrated by the fix, you’re not alone – which is why Treyarch is exploring a way to do this “correctly” in the future.
“With the start of Season 01, a UI bug allowed players to activate legacy XP tokens in Black Ops 6. Unfortunately, it also introduced some potential risk to game stability, which is why it was patched yesterday,” Treyarch explained.

“We realise how much players appreciate being able to redeem legacy XP tokens in both BO6 and Warzone, so we are currently testing a way to implement this change correctly in a future update. This allows us time to ensure stability is maintained before we reintroduce this feature.
