Triple-Double XP: 2XP, 2x Weapon XP, 2x Battle Pass Tiers
ActivisionIn a celebration of new content and an upcoming season, there will also be a Triple-Double Weekend — in which players can get double XP for their battle pass, weapons, and player leveling. For new players, this means a chance to fly through the ranks and unlock weapons and items. For veteran players, an excellent opportunity to level up new guns or simply get your prestiges rolling.
The Triple-Double XP Weekend will last from April 16 at 10 a.m. PT to April 19 at 10 a.m. PT. Be sure to make use of it and level those classes up in the meantime, as no one knows where the meta will shift in Season 3.
