This is the 3rd I think time they've done it since the game was released. I'd expect another after all the Xmas newbies get on.

What's your PSN? There were at least three or four crews going last night.

Probably like once every 3 weeks or so -- looks like they might be alternating between double XP and double weapon XP

Ahhh poo poo y'all see the Black Market changes with the new patch? You can now see your recently acquired items and trade in duplicates for more Cryptokeys. I feel like they added some more stuff, too, were reticles available from the black market before? I don't think they were

I'm pretty sure reticles were. I think I have a black market reflex reticle.

And I've been saving my cryptokeys for no reason/stupid reasons and it infuriates my brother. I can't wait to tell him my duplicates will get me some refunds. Any indication if they're tracking duplicates for people that have already gotten some, to give them some refunded keys now?

edit: VVVV poo poo. I GUESS I'll be happy for him.

Yes, definitely. There's a new button on the Black Market to "burn duplicates for Cryptokeys" and it automatically cashes in your dupes, I got 13 and I'm just at Prestige 1 and don't play that much so some of y'all might get a shitload. Not sure how the math works out exactly but when I got 13 it said I had 10 common duplicates and 1 rare duplicate so it might be as simple as common=1, rare=3, and so on.

When you reach Prestige Master, you start earning Prestige Emblems from previous CODs. Every 100 levels gives you the Prestige icons from all the Treyarch CODs. So 100 is Prestige 1, 200 is Prestige 2 and so on.

Also for PS4 users, there are three new weapons under the special category: butterfly knife, wrench, and brass knuckles. They have to be unlocked via the black market.

Really hoping they don't count towards diamond specials.

Unless they're going to let you buy prestige master, you can't skip any grind, they'll just let you waste money on cryptokeys

I dumped all my duplicates and got ~150 cryptokeys, so I burned them all up on the 'new and improved' rare crates. Every crate gave me a new specialist emote, only one had a (duplicate) legendary skin. And I got a blue reflex reticle! That is identical to the blue reflex reticle that you get by default!

Every rare crate seems to give you a random cryptokey bonus, I got from 7 to 20, usually 10. I don't know if normals give you any bonus keys, didn't open any yet.

The update? Nah not as far as I can tell, I'd be surprised if it didn't roll out on XB1 and PC in the next 24 hours. Map packs are the only thing with timed exclusitivity

Always hop in, ask if there is a spot, chill waiting for one if it's full but someone says they're leaving in a match or two.

give fake callouts while they're in the game.

General unspoken rules:
1) if >=2 and < six, jump in, you're almost always welcome
2) if =six, jump in and ask if they are OK doing ground war
3) if it's >= 7, jump in, you're almost always welcome

I noticed last night after finishing everyone's normal challenges and then unlocking Reaper's hero parts that the hero challenges seemed either bugged or had false unlock information, so maybe you did what you were supposed to and the game kept track of it, but they fixed the requirements in the patch or something.
