Double Weapon XP in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and COD: Warzone

Treyarch first announced the double weapon XP on January 13. This event presents the perfect solution for players who find unlocking achievements troublesome.

Not only can the double weapon XP event help players in unlocking achievements swiftly, but it also allows them to unlock essential attachments for their weapons.

Since Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War was integrated with COD: Warzone, all weapons from the former title are now available in the standalone battle royale game. Warzone players, who do not own Black Ops Cold War, should focus on leveling their favorite weapons from the game.

Additionally, with Treyarch announcing Firebase Z's release as a new Zombies map on Black Ops Cold War, this double weapon XP period is an ideal opportunity for players to level up their desired weapon to flaunt on the new map.

With the double weapon XP period scheduled to end on January 19, players should start grinding as much as possible to unlock that special attachment they had their eyes on for a while.

Even if it wasn't for the specific attachment, it's always handy to have a few extra levels on the weapon that a player is most comfortable with.
