Double XP weekend provides the perfect opportunity for Black Ops 6 players to level up and unlock gear quickly, so it’s important that you know when the next double XP event will start.

It’s no secret that leveling in BO6 isn’t that fast, with Call of Duty fans being vocal about the slow weapon leveling in particular. While you can learn to level up fast by using certain tricks, like taking advantage of daily challenges and playing specific game modes, these pale compared to the impact of Double XP.

Anyone taking the prestige grind seriously needs to get involved in every double XP weekend they can. To help you out, we’ve outlined when the next Double XP weekend will start so you don’t miss out.

Double XP weekend start time

A double XP weekend began on November 1, 2024, at 10AM PST and was set to run until November 4. However, due to a bug with double XP, its duration has been extended until November 5 at 10AM PST, giving players an entire extra day to earn rewards.

This gives you four days to take advantage of the boosted experience, which should be easy to do as this weekend coincides with the launch of Nuketown, an iconic small map that is perfect for racking up kills and earning lots of XP.

For the duration of the Double XP weekend, players will receive Double XP, Double Weapon XP, and Double GobbleGum earn rate.

Double XP provides a great opportunity to level up fast and progress through the prestige system. This is perfect for those wanting to reach Prestige Master as fast as possible. Likewise, Double Weapon XP lets you level up guns faster to unlock all attachments and create the best loadout possible.

Double GobbleGum earn rate is a new addition to Double XP weekend that is exclusive to Zombies. When active, you will earn twice as many GobbleGum, which can be used to activate unique powers that make surviving easier. Farming as many of these as possible is a must for anyone wanting to complete easter eggs and see everything Zombies has to offer.
