Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Double XP Weekend extended beyond today
Last weekend’s big events for Call of Duty: Black Ops – the return of the Nuketown mapdouble XP, double weapon XP, and double GobbleGums – were supposed to end today, but Black Ops 6 players have at least until tomorrow to rack up more double XP.
A Nuketown-only multiplayer playlist went live in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on November 1, alongside double XP, double weapon XP, and double GobbleGums. The Double XP period was supposed to end today at 1:00 PM ET, but due to a technical glitch on Friday evening that impacted XP for some players, Black Ops 6 developer Treyarch announced this on Saturday to which the Double XP period would be extended Tuesday, November 5 at 1:00 PM ET.
Activision and Black Ops 6 studio Treyarch have rolled out the Nuketown multiplayer map inspired by a scene in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and which always ends with a nuclear explosion – like some of the content disappears a week after release. A video trailer is out for the card showing the enhanced visuals (and the explosion at the end of the match). The map was also previously seen in Call of Duty: Online and Call of Duty: Mobile.
The other big drop, which is also available now, is infected mode. In it, one player is randomly assigned as infected and must eliminate other players and bring them to their side. A big change from previous games, the studio says, is that this one features Omnimovementwhich allows players to dive and run in all directions.
Nuketown returns with new footage as a free multiplayer map set at a nuclear test site in Nevada.
Announced in May, Black Ops 6 was released on October 25 and is set in 1991, after a group of rogue agents track down a secret force called Pantheon. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC and is also part of Microsoft’s Game Pass service.
The arrival of the latest Call of Duty was huge. In fact, the game’s prelaunch alone was responsible for this 19% of all Comcast trafficwhich should shed some light on how big this game’s debut has been for fans.
In its post about Nuketown and Infected mode, Activision also teased Season 1, the battle will disappear on November 14th. It includes new multiplayer maps and modes, a new seasonal Zombies map, and improvements to Call of Duty: Warzone’s Battle Royale mode. Those improvements include Omnimovement and new weapons and equipment features, the post said. Activision says more Season 1 news will be available on its website Call of Duty Blog.
