YouTuber S0ur discovers CoD Vanguard\u2019s Double XP has \u201chuge discrepancies\u201d ActivisionA Preseason Double XP event dropped into CoD Vanguard on November 18, but all isn\u2019t well according to YouTuber \u2018S0ur\u2019, who uncovered some \u201chuge discrepancies\u201d between the values being awarded and intended XP gains. Less than two weeks after launch, Sledgehammer Games dropped a Double XP event in Call of Duty: Vanguard, offering players a chance to level up their operators, battle pass, and weapons even faster ahead of Season 1\u2019s delayed launch on December 9. Double XP is always a welcome addition to any CoD title, helping players get their arsenal up-to-speed if they\u2019ve been slacking off the grind a bit. Unfortunately, it appears Vanguard\u2019s latest XP offering hasn\u2019t gone off without a hitch. After testing out different XP values and setups, YouTuber S0ur made an unexpected (and unwelcome) discovery: Vanguard\u2019s Double XP event has actually been rewarding players with less experience than intended. S0ur discovers CoD Vanguard Double XP discrepancies S0ur shared his findings in a video on his YouTube channel. After testing a variety of factors over the course of two days, the content creator zeroed on his \u201cterrible\u201d discovery. \u201cDespite the supposed Double XP, I was getting anywhere from 1.5 times to .75 times XP \u2014 less than the base values should be,\u201d he revealed. After tying his discovery to time spent playing Vanguard\u2019s Shipment map, S0ur did some further testing and uncovered what he believes is the root of the issue: \u201cMy best theory is that gaining weapon XP too rapidly will cause it to not be tracked properly.\u201d \u201cDouble XP can work correctly under the right circumstances,\u201d S0ur clarified, before continuing \u201cAnd yet, Double XP combined with getting lots of kills quickly seems to be causing this huge discrepancy, sometimes [granting] less than half of the expected XP.\u201d \u201cThat could explain your feeling of being cheated out of weapon XP,\u201d the YouTuber revealed. He also confirmed that \u201cThe double weapon XP [event] seems to make the discrepancy much worse.\u201d Other Call of Duty personalities, like Warzone mastermind JGOD, chimed in with their own concerns, and asked developer Sledgehammer to clarify whether Double XP was working as intended or if there is some kind of bug affecting it. This particular problem doesn\u2019t appear on Sledgehammer\u2019s list of known issues at the time of writing, but if S0ur\u2019s theory proves true, it\u2019s likely the Vanguard developer will push out a quick fix to get the bugged XP back on track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
