Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 developer Treyarch is showing some love to loyal players with another double XP weekend, hot on the heels of the one that ran during Battlefield 6's record-breaking open beta. The third double XP weekend of the multiplayer shooter's season 5 is live now, with all four boosts active for players to take advantage of. You'll be able to speed through account levels, weapon attachment unlocks and battle pass tiers to chug through the latest seasonal content ahead of the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 later this year. This double XP weekend runs from Friday, Aug. 29 to Tuesday, Sept. 2.
Anyone playing Black Ops 6 during the event period has a universal double account XP, weapon XP, battle pass XP and GobbleGum 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 PML 5.56 light machine gun and the ABR A1 assault rifle.
Just like the last event, this is a Quad Feed double XP weekend. That means players will be able to benefit from all four customary double XP weekend boosts at the same time. Your double XP tokens will also be locked for the duration of the event.
