EA and DICE's freemium brower-based shooter, Heroes, is having a double XP weekend.

For the duration of this weekend Battlefield Heroes fans can earn double XP from their hard fought battles.

This is a first as the game as it has never offered double XP before.

There is a catch though, as players will have to enter a code in order to benefit form the XP boost. The code is: 5RH4-G9WR-MVV2-Q4E7.

The bonus weekend runs until 5.59pm Eastern time, today
