X The latest Black Ops 6 patch seems to have nerfed XP without saying

What you need to know

  • Treyarch pushed a patch to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on November 4 that contained, among other things, some XP rebalancing across different game modes.
  • Some, such as Team Deathmatch and Control, were supposed to get a buff. Others, notably Face Off, were to be adjusted in the opposite direction.
  • However, it doesn’t look like all went to plan, with significant XP reductions seen across more than the intended game modes, which if left unchecked makes levelling up through Prestige significantly more grueling.

November 4 saw the first big post launch update to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, with a raft of balance changes included. Some were targeted at balancing out weapons, with ARs getting a slight nerf and SMGs getting a buff (not that I thought SMGs needed making stronger). Others were to adjust XP gains with a view to making things fairer across the board.

Unfortunately, it looks like the targeted nerfs to XP went far beyond what was supposed to happen. Per the patch notes, the only reduction in XP was supposed to be in Face Off modes, something that had become a haven for the XP farmers. But that doesn’t seem to be the case, as both myself and my colleague, Zachary Boddy, have noticed that Domination and Hardpoint, in particular, have seen dramatic reductions in earned XP.
