Warzone & Black Ops 6 Nov 15 update patch notes: Double XP tokens removed and custom loadout increase

The latest Black Ops 6 and Warzone update increases the amount of custom loadout slots, removes legacy XP tokens, and more.

Black Ops 6 players discovered that Xbox and PC versions of BO6 grant access to 10 custom loadout slots in multiplayer, two less than the 12 total available on PlayStation. This update allows every platform to create 12 custom loadouts.

In addition, the Season 1 update introduced a bug that unintentionally locked the Ghost Perk from players. This was an issue because players had no way to counter UAVs. Raven Software swooped in quickly and addressed the issue.

Warzone players also found a troubling exploit that transformed the ground loot AEK-973 Marksman Rifle from a semi-automatic weapon into a fully-automatic weapon of destruction.

Let’s take a look at what else has changed.
