Summary
The latestCall of Duty: Black Ops 6andCall of Duty: WarzoneDouble XP event has been extended to account for downtime caused by the PlayStation Network outage. The outage preventedCall of Duty: Black Ops 6andWarzoneplayers on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 from participating in the Double XP event for nearly 24 hours.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6andWarzoneSeason 2 began on Tuesday, January 28, and the season’s first Double XP event began the following week on Thursday, February 6. Double XP events happen regularly each year in the latest Call of Duty games, allowing players to gain much more XP and Weapon XP than usual. This same bonus applies toGobbleGum acquisition rate in theBlack Ops 6Zombies mode, so Zombies fans don’t miss out on gains as well. However, the PlayStation Network outage on February 7 ruined plans for manyCall of Dutyfans, as they were unable to login and play online for nearly 24 hours. Many players were disappointed about missing an entire day of the Double XP event, and theCall of Dutydevelopers at Treyarch addressed the community before the event was supposed to end on Monday, February 10 at 10:00 a.m. PT.
Treyarch’s official Twitter account confirmed the latestCall of Duty: Black Ops 6andWarzoneDouble XP event has been extended by 48 hours, giving players much more time to spend grinding for XP. The event is now planned to end on February 12 at 10:00 a.m. PT, and the same bonuses to XP, Weapon XP, and GobbleGum acquisition rates will apply. It’s worth noting that other events, includingCall of Duty’songoingThe Terminatorevent, did not receive extensions.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone Double XP Event Has Been Extended by 48 Hours
Many gamers are excited that the Double XP event was extended, especially players who are attempting to reach higher Prestige ranks. Others still aren’t happy with the developers due toCall of Duty: Black Ops 6andWarzone’songoing hacking and cheating issues, however. A notable portion of the community believes that hackers and cheaters are driving players away from the latestCall of Dutyentries.
Nonetheless, the Double XP event should be a great opportunity for players to quickly level up and improve their weapons before heading intoCall of Duty’sRanked Play mode. Since the Terminator event is still ongoing, those who haven’t obtained enough skulls for their next reward may do so while reaping the benefits of additional XP and GobbleGum in multiplayer and Zombies.
