Double-XP rush live now for Black Ops 7 and Warzone

A global double-XP event for Black Ops 7 and Warzone is live now and runs through Jan. 20, 2026. The activation kicked off at noon CT on Jan. 15 and delivers double player XP, double weapon XP, double Battle Pass XP and a double GobbleGum earn rate, making this week one of the most efficient windows to level weapons, progress the Battle Pass and stockpile Zombies consumables.

This iteration ties into the community's 115 Day celebrations, adding momentum to seasonal objectives and leaderboard pushes. The event also coincides with other in-game activations such as Quantum Exchange and the Baron of the Wasteland leaderboard events, so players chasing multiple rewards can stack their sessions for maximum return.

Key mechanics to know: while global double XP is active, personal XP tokens are paused and will not stack on top of the event. Plan builds and token usage around the end of the event to avoid wasting consumables. Weapon XP doubling is especially valuable for unlocking attachments and finishing weapon-specific challenges faster, and Battle Pass XP doubling accelerates tier skips for players chasing seasonal cosmetics.

Modes and strategies that deliver the strongest gains include Kill Confirmed for steady XP from dog tags, Domination and Hardpoint for objective captures and rotations that reward consistent point income, and Zombies Survival maps for GobbleGum farming and challenge completions. Prioritize match types that let you complete multiple daily and weekly challenges in one run to capitalize on the doubled rates.

Practical approach: focus challenge completion first to earn layered XP bonuses, play objective modes rather than pure slayer playlists to trigger capture and control bonuses, and farm with a coordinated party to reduce downtime between matches and increase revives and multi-phase challenge completion. Use weapon-specific challenges during long Hardpoint rotations or Domination streaks to combine weapon XP with player and Battle Pass gains.

For players chasing leaderboard positions in Baron of the Wasteland or participating in Quantum Exchange activities, sync sessions with friends to protect streaks and keep respawn timing tight. Zombies players should lean into Survival maps during the event to gather GobbleGum faster and clear related challenges while Battle Pass progression climbs.

This week’s double-XP window is a clear chance to accelerate progress across multiplayer and Zombies. Party up, queue objective playlists, and stack challenges now so you convert playtime into meaningful progression before the event wraps on Jan. 20.
