Levelling up any weapon can feel like an eternity. If you have been playing Call of Duty for a while, you’ll know how long one weapon can take to upgrade.

How to level up weapons fast?

To level up your weapons, you’ll need Weapon XP. This can be earned by doing the most basic things in the game. Here are several reliable methods to gain large amounts of Weapon XP fast:

Play the objective

Weapon XP is earned based on your performance throughout the game. The higher your contribution towards the team’s win, the more XP you’ll earn. Modes such as Hardpoint or Domination require players to capture certain zones. Doing so will earn you more points, hence leveling up the guns at a much faster rate.

Eliminating players while playing an objective earns you even more points, you can deploy killstreaks or field equipment within the objective area to earn different kinds of points. All these activities will earn you quite an amount of weapon XP.

Get eliminations

Getting kills is the most crucial and the most basic objective of Call of Duty. It is also the easiest and most conventional way to level up the weapons quickly. Focus on objective kills and multi-kills. If you get multiple killstreaks you’ll get a lot of weapon XP. Given the fast-paced nature of Black Ops 6, it is quite easy to drop 3 enemies in a matter of seconds.

In game modes such as Kill Order, you can obtain a solid amount of Weapon XP either by protecting or killing the high-value target.

Using the right items

There are a few ways to acquire small rewards from the game. The use of tacticals and lethals also benefits players, as it counts towards their overall Weapon XP. Using equipment such as the Stun Grenades, Flash Grenades, and Decoys, players can level up their weapons much faster.

Although the amount of Weapon XP you can get from this process is low, the reward is worth working for when repeated for several games. Using Field Upgrades such as a trophy system or Prox Alarm also allows you to earn crucial Weapon XP.
