Hi
Forum was playing halo 5 recently and saw double XP is going on so i played several matches of warzone heroic and some arena game-types.
My question is multiple relating to this topic
Is double XP actually really double XP? Because it doesn’t feel like it at all? Maybe its just me perhaps ot is it actually low?
The most I got from a game with a Gold XP boosts was like 8,000-to 8,500ish for heroic and about 6,500ish from arena does that seem right?
i also have other questions relating to this they are listed below
What is the normal XP you get for something like heroic firefight, legendary firefight, social arena gametypes with out the double or boosts?
How much extra do each of the 5 boosts add to the original amount? i know you can only add one per game and theirs white, green, blue, purple, and yellow but whats the trade off between the extra XP each one gives?
How much XP do you get from arena social games?
Is there any specific playlist to play to get the most XP possible during this timeframe if its double XP?
Finally are there any factors that play in to the XP gained such as as ie winning or loosing being in first place or second place on your team ect?

The gold is called a Legendary XP boost and yes that’s normal. With regular boosts, you normally only get around 2-4K in Firefight and less in Arena.
I don’t know the specific amount for each regular boost, but the colored order that you have them in is correct for least to most amounts that they give. The special cards give more like Mission Victory, AI Kills or Spartan Kills for example. The Jackpot boost can also give you less or more depending on the RNG that you get and the Assists card can also vary depending on how many you got. I think the Spartan Kills can also vary, but don’t remember.
I don’t know the specific amounts that you get for social either, but it’s not much. The playlists that give the most XP would be Firefight and Infection. There can be factors like the length of time played or winning for example which can affect XP, but I don’t pay much attention to that.
If you want to find out, it’s best to just play the game and then pay attention to the amounts given across different scenarios. I’d be more helpful, but I stopped worrying about that stuff once I was done grinding so I forgot a lot of it.
The part of the boost that is doubled is base xp. Boosts aren’t doubled, so if you usually get 6k xp from a playlist using boosts, you won’t be getting 12k during the double xp timeframe with all other factors being equal. It will probably be somewhere around 8.5 to 9k.
I don’t remember the exact amount of each boost, but if I remember correctly the legendary boosts are roughly 5k xp.
Warzone FF is one of the best ways to grind xp. During a non double xp game of wzff you can get around 9 to 10k xp per game if you use a mission victory. You can get around 11 to 13k xp if you use a medal count gambit and get near the most medals in the game.
Arena games will grant less xp per game, but some of them don’t last nearly as long so you can actually get more xp per hour depending on how quickly the games end.
The higher you are on the scoreboard, the more xp you earn from a match, but it’s usually only a few hundred xp difference. It definitely adds up over time though
