Just in time for Thanksgiving in the US, you can earn twice the amount of XP while you're not seeing your family this holiday weekend.

Everyone around the world will join in the Double XP weekend fun, too, so we all have something to be thankful for.

Keep reading for all the intel on the latest CoD BO6 Double XP weekend — including its end date and time — and to see how to unlock Double XP tokens to rank up as fast as possible.

When is the CoD BO6 Double XP weekend?

The current CoD BO6 Double XP weekend started on Wednesday 27th November.

Treyarch confirmed on social media, shortly after 6pm GMT on Wednesday night, that the Double XP weekend is now under way in the game.

Players can jump into the game and earn two times the usual XP — both player and weapon XP — for the next few days. Just play the way you ordinarily do, and you'll be rewarded more than normal!

For the Americans among us, this is just in time for Thanksgiving, meaning you now have something to be truly thankful for.

When does Double XP end in BO6?

The deadline looms!

The Double XP weekend will end on Monday 2nd December at 6pm GMT, from a UK time zone perspective.

This has been confirmed by the in-game menus, as you can see in the screenshot above.

Over on the other side of the pond, American players have until 10am PT on Monday to gobble up that extra XP.

If the Double XP event has ended by the time you're reading this, thankfully there are several ways you can earn tokens you can use while an event isn't active...

How to get CoD BO6 Double XP tokens explained

There are a number of different ways you can obtain Double XP tokens to use in Black Ops 6.

Reaching a new prestige level is the first method. You'll earn an hour of Double XP after reaching a new wave of levels to complete.

Purchasing specific packs from the in-game store is also another way of earning some extra tokens. For example, the CODE Endeavour: Tracer Pack bundle features an hour of Double XP along with an hour of Double Weapon XP, perfect for unlocking attachments for your favourite weapons.

The last one involves keeping your eyes peeled for promotions. The likes of Monster Energy, Little Caesars and Papa Johns all have active promotions where you can get your hands on some Double XP tokens.

Watch out for these, as well as tuning in for Double XP events being run in the game.

How to get CoD BO6 Double XP tokens in the battle pass
