Leveling up in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 can be quite the task due to the slower pace of gaining weapon experience, player levels, and Battle Pass XP. Fortunately, players can take advantage of limited-time Double XP events that enhance XP gains for a few days at a stretch.
The developers plan to occasionally roll out Double XP events in BO6 once or twice per season. Season 1 Reloaded kicked things off with a Double XP event to mark the free trial offer of Black Ops 6, and you can expect the next event to arrive soon. With the holiday season around the corner, here’s when to look forward to the next Double XP event in Black Ops 6.
Upcoming BO6 Double XP Event
Maximize Your Boosted Weapon, Level & Battle Pass XP
According to the in-game event section, the next Black Ops 6 Double XP event will begin on Wednesday, December 25. Although the developers have not yet specified the exact Double XP duration, a timer is counting down to 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM GMT on December 25, 2025.

Similar to previous events in BO6, players can look forward to increased XP for weapons, levels, and the Battle Pass. The developers have allowed Double XP Tokens to be used from Modern Warfare 3 in Black Ops 6, easing the grind for XP a bit.
If you have some Tokens saved up, it’s wise to hold onto them for this upcoming event. New players, especially those who might get a copy of Black Ops 6 on Christmas Day, should aim to level up as quickly as possible. Additionally, new players should check out Archie’s Festival Frenzy event to unlock the AMR Mod 4 Sniper Rifle.
Top Double XP Farming Strategy in Black Ops 6
Reach Prestige Fast
The best way to maximize your XP during Black Ops 6 Double XP events is to play the Nuketown Playlist with a specific class build and playstyle. The optimal setup is to play Hardpoint on the Nuketown map. Matches in Hardpoint generally last longer than those in modes like Kill Confirmed or Team Deathmatch, and they provide a significant amount of XP just for being on the objective.
You’ll want to build a class featuring the UAV Scorestreak, the Bankroll and Dispatcher Perks, and the Strategist Combat Specialty. This setup will help you maximize the XP you earn per match.
- Perk 1: Your choice of Green Perk
- Perk 2: Dispatcher
- Perk 3: Bankroll
- Perk 4: Your choice of Green Perk
- Wildcard: Perk Greed
- Scorestreak: UAV
Bankroll gives you a bonus of +150 to your Scorestreaks at the start of each life. Dispatcher reduces the cost of non-lethal Scorestreaks, making the UAV more accessible. The Strategist Combat Specialty provides extra points for completing objectives. These benefits combined enable you to easily earn multiple UAVs during a match.
Scorestreaks like the UAV generate passive XP as your teammates secure kills. By staying near the Hardpoint, players can rack up substantial amounts of XP. Scoring kills while on the Hardpoint also helps boost your XP gains significantly. If you’re uncertain about experimenting with new Perks or Scorestreaks, give this strategy a shot in your next Nuketown game and observe the enhanced XP earned during the Double XP event.
With Black Ops 6 bringing back the classic Prestige system, many players are keen on earning XP. Taking full advantage of the game’s generous Double XP events is the quickest way to advance in rank.
