Modern Warfare 3 Season 4 added a ton of content and players are looking to quickly level up their Rank, weapons, and Battle Pass. So, here are some tips to help you level up fast in MW3.

MW3 Season 4 is fully underway offering players a ton of content up for grabs, including the iconic Kar98k and other exciting Battle Pass rewards and unlocks.

If you want to speed up the process, here’s how to level up your Rank, weapons, and Battle Pass fast in Modern Warfare 3.

MW3: How to level up Rank & weapons fast

Here are the best ways to level up your rank and weapons fast in MW3 Season 4:

Complete Daily & Weekly Challenges

MW3 overhauled the Daily and Weekly Challenge system. Most of them will be quite easy to complete, including earning specific types of kills, and in-game challenges with certain weapon categories, and will offer a ton of XP to rank up fast in MW3.

With this in mind, keep an eye on the Daily and Weekly Challenges tab on the left in the game’s lobby screen and ensure you’re ticking them off each day.

Take advantage of Double XP tokens & events

Despite being one of the most popular ways to level up weapons, Rank, and Battle Pass in MW3, sometimes it might go under the radar, but using Double XP Tokens or playing during a Double XP event are great ways to speed the process of leveling up.

Play the objective

This may seem obvious, but sticking to the objective is a great way to level up quickly in Modern Warfare 3. While simply earning kills will come with a steady stream of XP, contributing to your team’s victory will come with its reward.

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 Modern Warfare 3. 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. If you’re consistently winning games, you’ll rank up fast in MW3.

Choose the game modes wisely

Although most players will stick to traditional Modern Warfare 3 modes, the sprawling battles of Ground War and War are perfect for leveling up guns. 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 excellent way to quickly level up your guns and rank is by eliminating racking 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 in MW3 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 MW3 Battle Pass fast

MW3’s Battle Pass is usually a slow experience, so earning as much XP as possible in a short time is crucial. To achieve this, fast-paced playlists like the Small Map Mosh Pit or modes such as War are ideal for gaining a lot of quick XP.

Those were the best ways to level up your weapons and Rank quickly in MW3. Be sure to also check out our guide on the Aftermarket Parts in the game, as well as the Critical Countdown event which is set to bring a new Weapon Blueprint.
