How to level up fast in Modern Warfare 3

New Modern Warfare 3 seasons add a bunch of content for players to unlock, including a fresh Battle Pass that pushes players to rank up fast, earn new guns, and gain Weapon XP.

If you’re interested in all the best ways to get level and weapon XP fast in MW3, here’s everything you need to know.

How to get XP fast in MW3

• Complete challenges in MW3, Warzone, and Zombies
• Double XP tokens & events
• Play the objective
• Get wins
• Play MW3 game modes that give you the most XP
• Team up with friends on PlayStation for Party XP bonus
• Purchase Party Skin for bonus XP

Complete Daily, Weekly & weapon Challenges

Completing MW3 Daily and Weekly Challenges will provide you with a ton of XP and rewards. You can also earn a lot of XP to rank up your level and weapon by completing camo challenges.

Many of these challenges are quite easy to complete, such as getting Clean Kills, which will net you some quick XP. Tougher challenges will take more time, but you’ll be rewarded generously making them worthwhile.

With this in mind, keep an eye on the Daily and Weekly Challenges tab on the left in the game’s lobby screen as well as the challenges for the guns you’re using to earn more XP.

Take advantage of Double XP tokens & events

Despite being one of the most popular ways to level up, sometimes it might go under the radar, but using Double XP Tokens or playing during a Double X

P event are excellent ways to speed the process of leveling up your rank and weapons.

Play the objective

This may seem obvious, but sticking to the objective is a great way to level up quickly. While simply earning kills will come with a steady stream of XP, contributing to your team’s victory will come with its reward. Further, gaining kills while playing the objective will net you some extra XP, and help level up your weapon even faster.

Make sure you’re picking up tags in Kill Confirmed, capturing flags in Domination, and holding the Hardpoint to rack up easy XP simply by playing the game.

Go for the win

Winning matches earns a ton of XP in MW3. At the end of each match, you’re rewarded with all of the XP you picked up, but if you win the game as well you’ll receive a bonus.

While many players will run off as a lone wolf, it pays to work with your team to achieve the common goal. Playing with your teammates will also likely help you get more kills if you’re struggling, increasing the amount of Weapon XP you gain too. If you’re consistently winning games, you’ll rank up fast.

Choose the best game modes for XP

Although most players will stick to traditional multiplayer modes, the sprawling battles of Ground War and War are perfect for leveling up guns and Rank. The extra player count and longer matches offer more chances to get kills helping speed up the process with XP.

There are also more objectives than the likes of Domination, so you can easily pick up additional points by defending or clearing objectives.

Rack up Zombie kills & challenges

A fun and perfect way to quickly level up your guns and rank is by eliminating as many undead kills as possible and completing challenges in MW3 Zombies.

Although you’ll need to use your skills to survive the hordes of enemies, whether you decide to do it alone or with friends, Zombies mode has a ton of enemies to kill and a wide variety of Contracts such as Deliver Cargo, Escort ACV, or Outlast, that will give you in-game rewards and a large amount of XP.

PlayStation Party bonus

If you’re a Modern Warfare 3 player on PlayStation, you can level up your guns fast by teaming up with one or various friends. Joining or hosting a party with friends offers a 25% XP boost, drastically speeding up how quickly the next set of attachments are unlocked.

Of course, not all players will be able to join up with others for every session, but it certainly pays to invite a friend when possible. Unfortunately, this bonus isn’t available on other platforms.

Party Skin Pack bonus

An alternative way to level up fast weapons and rank is by using the Party Pack skins, these will grant you additional XP bonuses by playing with specific Operator skins available through the Party Packs in the game’s store.

To claim all the bonuses, assemble a group of three friends in-game using Party skins to obtain Double Level XP, Double Weapon XP, and Double Battle Pass XP.

How to level up Battle Pass fast in Modern Warfare 3

Play fast-paced playlists like the Small Map Mosh Pit or big game modes such as War to gain as many kills and objective XP as you can. MW3’s Battle Pass is usually a slow experience, so playing modes that reward lots of XP is crucial.

It may seem slow, but the 8-week timer should be enough to get you through it so long as you’re playing the game consistently and performing well.

Be sure to combine these methods with our best controller settings and audio setup to dominate multiplayer matches and rack up as many kills as possible.
