Mark your calendars for April 19 as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty: Warzone gear up for an upcoming double XP boost. While the start date of this event is confirmed, the end date remains shrouded in mystery, keeping players on their toes.
Double XP events are a game-changer for any CoD enthusiast. This bonus feature allows rapid progression of Modern Warfare 3 weapons, Operators, overall XP, and Battle Passes. It's worth noting that the rewards aren't always straightforward, and each event may offer a unique focus.
According to a recent tweet from CharlieIntel, a double XP event for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty: Warzone is set to commence on April 19 at 10 am PT. However, PlayStation players enjoy a 24-hour head start, courtesy of exclusive perks tied to the culmination of Modern Warfare 3's live ops season.
While the conclusion date of the current double XP event remains uncertain, based on the pace of Season 3 updates for MW3 and Warzone, it's likely to wrap up before April 23, coinciding with the next Season 3 patch. It's essential to remember that a recent nerf to a new weapon in the Season 3 patch of Modern Warfare 3 underscores the importance of wisely selecting weapons to focus on during this event. Additionally, blending double XP bonuses with XP Tokens is not feasible during this event.
Lingering Bugs in Modern Warfare and Warzone Double XP Events in 2024
Fans have voiced concerns about persistent XP glitches during past Double XP events, none of which were addressed in the latest April update for Modern Warfare 3 Season 3. The disparities in overall Rank XP bonuses and weapon bonuses were notably evident during the Double XP Weekend in early March in Modern Warfare 3. Furthermore, the Zombies mode has also been plagued by similar issues, as highlighted by a Reddit user under the alias TacticalUniverse: 'Honestly seems like someone hit .2x instead of 2x for zombies.'
On the Warzone front, the Warzone double XP bug emerged in 2020 and has persisted into 2024, reappearing at least once annually. Despite being labeled as a false Double XP event, fans have speculated on various reasons for Activision's actions, leaving the true rationale a mystery.
