In addition to a comprehensive patch with numerous improvements, Treyarch has also announced the first double XP event for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 for the weekend. We will tell you how to make the most of it.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is only a week old, and players are already being treated to their first double XP weekend. For zombie fans, there will be double “Nebulium Plasma”. The developers announced this recently on Twitter.
When exactly are double experience points available? The double XP weekend runs from 7:00 PM on October 19th to 7:00 PM on October 22nd, 2018, on all three platforms – PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
What is special about the double XP event in Black Ops 4?
Call of Duty veterans will find double XP a familiar term. For all newcomers, it’s quickly explained: As the name of the event suggests, during the weekend, players will be able to earn double experience points in all multiplayer modes.
Whether this also applies to the in-house battle royale mode Blackout remains to be seen.
What do double experience points bring me in Black Ops 4?
It’s simple: the more experience points – that is, XP – you earn, the more you level up. And it’s worth it. Because leveling up in the traditional multiplayer of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 grants you numerous rewards that you can use later in the game. This includes perks, scorestreaks, or weapons.
Additionally, after reaching the maximum level of 55, you can unlock the prestige mode, an additional challenge in the progression system of Black Ops 4, allowing you to earn unique rewards. There are a total of 10 prestige levels you can work through – a double XP weekend is also excellent for this.
What does double nebulium plasma bring me in the zombie mode of Black Ops 4?
In addition to double experience points, there is also double nebulium plasma in the zombie mode. But what is that?
The zombie mode in Black Ops 4 has a system that allows players to create buffs in the form of elixirs. Some of these are so powerful that they can turn the tide in a round that seemed lost.
However, making these elixirs requires time and a bit of luck. Because the rare ingredient, nebulium plasma, must be earned through gameplay. Now, there are double the amount available.
How can I make the best use of the double XP weekend in Black Ops 4?
No matter if you prefer zombies or the traditional multiplayer of Black Ops 4 – take advantage of the double XP time and play as much as you can.
For zombie players: With nebulium plasma, you will be rewarded at the end of a zombie round. The more you complete, the greater your gain, which will be doubled for the duration of the event. Furthermore, the amount of this ingredient apparently also depends on how long your team survives. This aspect should also be considered for maximum yield.
For multiplayer fans: For the multiplayer part, you can use our guide, which shows you how to level up quickly and effectively in Black Ops 4. With the double amount of XP, leveling will accelerate even more. This way, players can chase both the max level of 55 and speed up their grind for the prestige ranks.
