What to expect from Merry Mayhem in CoD BO6

Aside from the usual chaos of Multiplayer, Zombies and Battle Royale matches, there's not much mayhem to report despite the event name.

Instead, players are required to earn specific amounts of XP in order to unlock the next reward on the progression tree.

The first reward starts at a reasonable 9,000 XP, but the amounts quickly increase into the hundreds of thousands, so be prepared to use a Double XP token to earn higher amounts with ease.
