Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War continues the new system in which players receive 2XP and Weapon 2XP. You can earn 2XP and Weapon 2XP Tokens through gameplay, through various partnerships, or through Premium Battle Pass tiers, and choose when to activate your 2XP and Weapon 2XP Tokens, giving you the ability to control when you collect 2XP and Weapon 2XP.
2XP in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
How the 2XP system works in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
1. How do I get 2XP and Weapon 2XP Tokens?
There are three ways you can acquire 2XP and Weapon 2XP Tokens:
- Through gameplay – Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War offers objectives and challenges that can reward 2XP or Weapon 2XP Tokens upon completion.
- Through partnerships – Buy specially-marked products from various retailers and partners and receive codes redeemable for 2XP or Weapon 2XP Tokens.
- Through Premium Battle Pass tiers – Progress through the tiers of the Premium Battle Pass to unlock 2XP or Weapon 2XP Tokens.
2. How can I receive 2XP and Weapon 2XP in game?
The 2XP and Weapon 2XP multipliers can only be used in public Multiplayer matches. While participating in these matches, you'll earn twice the usual amount of XP for in-match accomplishments and achievements while you have a 2XP or Weapon 2XP Token activated.
Your 2XP and Weapon 2XP is awarded immediately and is reflected in the total XP you earned listed in the After Action Report.
3. How do I activate a 2XP Token?
You can see the total amount of 2XP and Weapon 2XP Tokens you have and activate a Token from the 2XP sidebar.
- Enter a pregame lobby from the Multiplayer menu.
- Press the left thumbstick or select the icon to open the 2XP sidebar.
- Highlight an available 2XP or Weapon 2XP Token tile and press Select to activate the Token.
Once a 2XP or Weapon 2XP Token is activated, the time to earn 2XP in Multiplayer begins, and a countdown timer appears on the righthand side of the screen in the Multiplayer pregame lobby.
4. Can I see how long I have until my 2XP or Weapon 2XP Token runs out?
Yes. Once a 2XP or Weapon 2XP Token is activated, the time to earn 2XP in Multiplayer begins, and you'll see a timer counting down on the righthand side in the Multiplayer pregame lobby.
5. Why does the 2XP timer run when I'm not in a match?
2XP and Weapon 2XP Tokens count down in real time whether you're in a match or not, including the pregame lobby, when you are adjusting your loadout, or even if you exit the game. Therefore, we recommend only activating 2XP and Weapon 2XP Tokens when you're sure your game session will last as long as, or longer than the time of the 2XP or Weapon 2XP Token activated in order to maximize your experience.
6. Is there a limit to how many 2XP or Weapon 2XP Tokens I can activate at a time?
No. You are free to activate as many 2XP and Weapon 2XP Tokens as you wish, but once a Token is activated, it can't be deactivated. Therefore, we recommend only activating 2XP and Weapon 2XP Tokens when you're sure your game session will last as long as or longer than the time of the 2XP or Weapon 2XP Token activated.
Please note: Activating multiple 2XP or Weapon 2XP Tokens extends the duration in which you will earn 2XP and Weapon 2XP and does not act as a multiplier to 2XP or Weapon 2XP.
7. Is there a limit to how many 2XP or Weapon 2XP Tokens I can activate in a single day?
No, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has no limit to the number of 2XP and Weapon 2XP minutes you can have active in a day.
8. Do the 2XP or Weapon 2XP Tokens I earn through gameplay count against the 40-hour limit on 2XP and Weapon 2XP I can redeem through promotions?
No. While 2XP and Weapon 2XP acquired through code redemptions from partnerships has a cap of 40 hours, there is no cap on the amount of 2XP or Weapon 2XP you can receive from Tokens earned in game.
