Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 1 Update Restores XP Tokens Following Player Backlash

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has just rolled out an update that’s sure to please players, particularly those miffed by the earlier removal of XP tokens. The game had dropped these tokens with the start of Season 1, creating quite a stir among dedicated fans. Now, they’re back, giving players access to the XP tokens they’ve been saving since the days of Modern Warfare 2.

Today, on November 19, Treyarch has published the latest patch notes, confirming this change. It turns out the tokens initially slipped into Season 1 due to a UI glitch, which the developers had to address to prevent potential game stability issues. This glitch had initially delighted players who jumped at the chance to use their stashed tokens, so their removal was met with loud disapproval.

In addition to the token update, the game has seen several other improvements. For instance, the hitmarker interface has gotten a tweak to make it easier for players to track their shots in both Multiplayer and Zombies modes. Alongside these refinements, a slew of bug fixes has been applied.

For those diving into Zombies mode, there’s a treasure trove of tips and tricks waiting to help you navigate better. If you’re keen to master the art of Exfil, or if you’re on the hunt for easter eggs and secrets in the maps of Terminus and Liberty Falls, there’s a detailed guide providing everything from executing a Pack-a-Punch in Liberty Falls to snagging the Meteor Easter Egg in Terminus.
