With the holiday season in full swing, Black Ops 6 is joining the celebration with its own twist. Players can enjoy maps that have seen festive makeovers, like Merry Mayhem and Jingle Hells modes. In addition, you can participate in Archie’s Festival Frenzy, an event that has you gathering festive currency which you can exchange for some nice loot. Even better, with the Double XP Weekend to spice up the deal (if not the punch), there’s no excuse not to jump in and get all the rewards you can.
How to take part in Archie’s Festival Frenzy in Black Ops 6?
You can join in the festivities by simply jumping into the game and playing. During Archie’s Festival Frenzy event, you can collect Jolly Archies as currency, which you can then use to exchange for various free rewards. You can play any game mode to take part in the event. The event will run from December 19, 2024, until January 3, 2025.
Some players have reported that they have already received Jolly Archies when logging into the event. That’s likely because they’ve already fulfilled some of the event goals by playing the game, or it could be a bug. In any case, if you’re lucky enough to get excess currency, best to spend it right away.
As part of the event, there are a few select event-specific game modes, as we’ve hinted before. These are great to check out and take part in to farm the event currency.
