In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the first season is approaching, and Infinity Ward is getting you ready for it. There are double XP and weapon XP available.
What is new in Modern Warfare? A double XP and weapon XP event has started, and you can really level up. The event runs until December 2nd, just a day before the start of Season 1. Time is running out, as the event only lasts a few more days.
Leveling up is particularly important now because with the start of Season 1, a high level is crucial.
Here’s why you should definitely level up now
This is how the leveling system was before: Season 1 brings some rotation to the leveling system. So far, you could level up to rank 55 and then earn prestige through the Officer Ranks.
This is changing now: With the start of Season 1, the Officer Ranks will reset to 0. So you basically have to start again from level 55 to receive the Season 1 rewards.
Why should you level up now? If you are not yet at rank 55, you should really take advantage of the event now. This way, it can continue directly with new content at the start of the season. If you are not at rank 55 by the time it starts on December 3rd, you will have to reach that first.
This way, precious time might pass that you would rather spend leveling in Season 1.
If you are already at rank 55, you can still level up meaningfully. You can unlock a new emblem after every 10th Officer rank. You should secure those while you can. With Season 1, new emblems will probably replace the old ones.
What is the best way to level up? If you want to reach rank 55 quickly now, you should take the easiest paths to level up. Focus on completing missions and playing the right modes. You can find 6 quick ways to gain XP in our guide.
Here’s why weapon XP is important: Regardless of the XP for ranks, you should still play the event effectively. You get double experience for your weapon ranks as well. This allows you to unlock useful items for your weapons, such as attachments or barrels. You can then improve your weapons in the Gunsmith and customize them as you like.
Before the start of Season 1, you can equip your weapons with the best items again to fight effectively. In the following guides, we give you good suggestions for suitable weapons:
