Summary
Starting on April 19,Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3andCall of Duty: Warzoneare getting a new double XP event. While the start date of the double XP event forModern Warfare 3andWarzoneis known, the developers have not yet confirmed when the double XP will end.
For anyCoDplayer, the importance of Double XP events cannot be understated. As the name suggests, double XP offers a way toquickly level upModern Warfare 3weapons, Operators, overall XP and Battle Passes. Notably, however, these bonuses are not always linear, nor is the focus of the event always the same.
As CharlieIntel reports in a Twitter post,Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3andCall of Duty: Warzonewill have a double XP event that starts on April 19 at 10 am PT. For PlayStation players, however, the double XP event started 24 hours earlier, due to their exclusive benefits that tie into the end ofModern Warfare 3’s live ops season.
As previously mentioned, the end date of the current double XP event is not yet confirmed. However, looking at the rate of Season 3MW3andWarzoneupdates, it seems likely it will end before April 23, which is when players can expect the next patch of Season 3. One thing to note is that the previousModern Warfare 3Season 3 patch nerfwas applied to a new weapon, so carefully choosing which weapons to focus on and level during this event is paramount. Also, as a warning to inexperienced players, stacking double XP bonuses with XP Tokens is not possible during the Double XP event.
Modern Warfare and Warzone Double XP Event Bugs Persist in 2024
Furthermore, fans have reported numerous XP bugs during the previous Double XP events, none of which were mentioned as fixed in therecentModern Warfare 3Season 3 April update. During the Double XP Weekend in early March, the difference in overall Rank XP bonuses and weapons bonuses was clearly felt inModern Warfare 3. Additionally, the Zombies game mode is known to suffer from the same issues, as a fan by the username TacticalUniverse reported on Reddit: “Honestly seems like someone hit .2x instead of 2x for zombies.”
On the side ofWarzone, thedouble XPWarzonebug first appeared in 2020and has persisted into 2024 while making an appearance at least once every year since. Since being dubbed as a false Double XP event, fans have created many theories as to why Activision would be doing this, but the real answer remains unclear.
