Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 includes a fresh update that returns XP tokens to players after backlash following their removal after the start of Season 1.
Patch notes released todayOn November 19, confirm that “legacy” XP tokens (i.e. XP tokens you’ve been collecting since Modern Warfare 2) are now back in players’ hands. Their unexpected availability with the launch of Season 1 was welcomed by players deeply familiar with Call of Duty, but their equally surprising removal sparked outrage.
At the time, developer Treyarch said it had patched older XP tokens from Black Ops 6 because their accidental introduction, which was blamed on a UI bug, “introduced some potential risks to game stability.”
Elsewhere, today’s update improves the hit marker UI to make shot identification easier, and also fixes a number of bugs in multiplayer and zombies.

Both Zombies maps are full of Easter eggs and secrets; here’s everything we found in both Terminus and Liberty Falls, including How to Pack-a-Punch in Liberty Falls and How to Get the Meteor Easter Egg in Terminus.
