Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Gets Another Double XP Weekend

Several countries are heading into a long weekend thanks to a public holiday on Monday. To help people make use of the extra day off, Treyarch is hosting another double XP weekend for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. The weekend is already live and will run until June 1.

The Double XP weekend began at 10am PT today, May 28, and will end at 10am PT on June 1. The event was originally due to end a day earlier but was extended because of the long weekend. On the other hand, the free access weekend began yesterday and will also continue until 10am PT on June 1. Those who don’t own the game can get access to the Black Ops Cold War‘s multiplayer modes and the Zombies Outbreak and Onslaught modes.

The multiplayer modes will include the new Rambo’s Gun Game mode added with this week’s update. The 20 weapons included in each match now include themed weapons like the Combat Bow, War Machine, RPG-7, and Death Machine. Players also get the use of the Stimshot. 3v3 Gunfight has also joined the game, where each team of three players battles against each other on the smallest maps with randomised loadouts.

In the meantime, the 80s Action Heroes event continues with this week’s update. The full patch notes can be found below:
