Call of Duty: WWII Launched With Double XP Active Unintentionally, Triple XP Confirmed

cod ww2 double xp bug

Just a few hours ago, we reported that Call of Duty: WWII apparently had a triple XP buff active according to Sledgehammer Games. While we couldn’t discern at the time whether Michael Condrey, Sledgehammer Games boss, was joking or not, we know the real deal.

It seems Condrey wasn’t joking at all, and what’s more, the game launched with double XP active for everyone unintentionally! This was revealed by Condrey himself over on Reddit where he address the triple XP questions.

For those that can’t read the Reddit post, it says:

No sarcasm in my response. We launched with 2XP active, unintentionally. Everyone was getting 2XP since 11/3 and up until we made the playlist change late Thursday night, which effectively launched 3XP.

Come Monday, when we turn off the XP bonus, it will effectively revert to what we should have had at launch (aka 1XP).

So early players, you got a huge head start.

PS. Positive intent is the spirit of life. Keep it classy, Reddit.

While it’s still a chore for most people (including me) to get into actual matches due to the dedicated servers being turned off in favor of peer-to-peer (P2P), it might be worth it to wait it out until you get into a match just to get some of that triple XP juice before the spigot is turned off come Monday.

Don’t forget to check out our video feature where we pit Call of Duty: WWII’s Headquarters mode against Destiny 2’s Farm, and see which one does the shared social space better.

Wow. And I thought the whole time I was just a God at the game & that it was easy to level up.

Time to sell the game. I’m not going to want to grind at such a slow pace after they turn it to normal. The game isn’t that good or more importantly FUN(which is what would keep me grinding to level up. It already feels like a grindfest at 2x EXP so yeah fuck that).

Nice knowing you WWII.

i was wondering why i was able to prestage so quick. Yet, i still felt it was a grind to actually level up, especially the latter levels now they are turning off 2xp i really will feel the grind.
