With the Warzone update, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has received two new game modes. These are great for quickly leveling weapons or progressing through the Battle Pass. But it’s only a short time that it’s easier.
What makes it so easy? With the launch of the Battle Royale mode Warzone on March 10, there was also a small bonus for all players. All experience earned is doubled for one week, until March 17, 2020.
This bonus applies to weapon XP, regular XP and progress for the Battle Pass. You will receive double XP in both multiplayer modes as well as in the two Warzone modes Battle Royale and Plunder.
How much experience do I get? How much experience you earn depends on which mode you are playing, how well your performance is and how long the match lasted. We have been able to measure the most bonus XP in BR and Plunder so far. If you perform reasonably well, you can roughly achieve:
- 2-3 levels
- 2-3 weapon levels for the equipped weapons
- and 1-2 Battle Pass levels
The duration corresponds roughly to one match. In longer matches or with better performance, you can easily further increase the earned experience.
Quickly farm attachments, weapons, and Battle Pass
What does leveling do for me? Levelling up has several benefits. Firstly, you unlock new weapons and equipment with regular level-ups up to level 55. Secondly, you can level up using the weapons you use.
Leveling certain weapons grants you access to new attachments with which you can improve and customize the weapons at the gunsmith. This way you can even create secret variants from some weapons.
Additionally, the levels in the Battle Pass also grant you different rewards – including the two new weapons Grau 5.56 and Striker 45 from Season 2.
Does this benefit me as a Free2Play player? Warzone is also playable for free; however, F2P players only have access to Battle Royale. Nonetheless, leveling provides you with nearly as much benefit as it does for the buyers.
Warzone offers the feature to carry over killstreaks and loadouts into Battle Royale. When you start fresh, however, only standard variants are available in the loadouts.
From level 4, you can create your own loadouts and classes. Since you have to start fresh as a F2P player, the XP bonus helps you reach good loadouts faster. This way, you won’t lag behind the buyers for too long.
Furthermore, any progress you make in Battle Royale – including levels, weapon tiers and more – will also transfer to the base game once you purchase it. So if you want to play CoD MW later in multiplayer or unlock cosmetic items for BR, you won’t lose any progress.
Tips for leveling up faster in Warzone
- Play the Plunder mode – this can also be easily played solo or in duos
- You don’t have to play until the end – even an early death without achieving much already grants about 4000-5000 XP
- Play for XP and not for victory – if you want to level specific weapons, use them in Battle Royale if you find them, even if they are not the strongest
- Create a loadout with the weapon you want to level – you can select this immediately in Plunder mode and you don’t have to buy or find it first
- Play with friends or randoms – Warzone is designed for trios and playing alone or in duos is correspondingly harder. Together you are more likely to survive and have higher chances for more XP
- Complete contracts – they provide quick and easy rewards during the match, which can lead to more XP. There is also an extra dose of weapon XP available
