To put it simply, your MW3 Double XP Tokens will NOT transfer to Black Ops 6. Recently, Activision confirmed that none of your Double XP, Double Weapon XP, and Double Battle Pass XP Tokens will be carried over to Black Ops 6. However, it’s not all bad news, as they have announced that the Double XP Tokens will remain usable in Warzone even after the launch of BO6.
This development was anticipated since Call of Duty had previously stated that, unlike the transfer feature introduced between MW2 and MW3, the same policy will not apply between Modern Warfare 3 and BO6. Nonetheless, there are certain elements from Modern Warfare 3 that will transition to the next installment in the Call of Duty franchise, apart from the Double XP Tokens.
This article explores all items that will carry over from Modern Warfare 3 to Black Ops 6.
Items from MW3 that will transfer to Black Ops 6
According to the official guidelines, the only items from MW3 that will migrate to Black Ops 6 are the Woods Operator Pack skins, which can be obtained by pre-ordering the game. These specific Operator skins are currently available in Modern Warfare 3 and will also be accessible in BO6 when it launches on October 25, 2024. Aside from that, transfer items are quite limited this time around.
This also indicates that none of your Modern Warfare 3 purchases will be transferred to BO6, including the new Tracer Packs. However, similar to the Double XP Tokens, these will still be usable within the battle royale component.
The official Call of Duty blog elaborated on the transfer rules and the rationale behind this decision:
“We want to ensure that everyone begins fresh together as we embark on a new experience with the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. It’s crucial that all players experience the Black Ops universe in the intended way, familiarizing themselves with era-specific weapons and gear, discovering gameplay innovations like Omnimovement, and retaining the signature Black Ops style.”
The developers have opted to restrict item transfers this time to maintain an authentic gameplay experience. Given that both Modern Warfare 3 and BO6 are set in different historical contexts, having a shared inventory of equipment and weapons could detract from the realism and authenticity that BO6 aspires to provide its audience.
Interestingly, the official blog post did not clarify the reasons behind the non-transfer of Double XP Tokens and other consumables. However, it can be inferred that this decision aims to ensure players engage with the shooter and advance at the proposed pace.
This summary addresses all the carry-over details between MW3 and Black Ops 6. This situation is particularly intriguing since the Tokens will still be usable in Warzone, which will connect with BO6, enabling cross-progression. Thus, the fact that Double XP Tokens will not transfer to BO6 represents a significant shift, and more information on this topic is anticipated from official Call of Duty channels.
