Levelling Up Fast in Modern Warfare

Ok, so there are a few different things you can do to make sure you’re powering through those levels to be the highest of all of your friends.

First things first, as soon as you hit level 4 you’ll unlock the ability to customize your loadout. You’ll have access to a limited number of weapons at this level, but it’s important to find a weapon you’re comfortable with.

The more comfortable you are with the way a gun shoots, the better you’ll do with it, and in return, you’ll gain more experience from assists and kills.

After you’ve found your ideal weapon, the next thing you’ll want to take a look at is what game type you’re playing. Domination and Search & Destroy are the two game modes you’ll want to be playing to gain the most experience per match.

Domination is great for racking up kills and points without having to worry about the stress of Search & Destroy. However, Search & Destroy offers a ton of experience if you’re able to do well, so really it’s up to you which you prefer.

As you play through matches, be sure to check out your barracks, which will show you the challenges you need to complete. Be sure to go to the missions tab and activate them, they won’t complete if you don’t activate them.

One last thing you can do to level up fast is purchasing some Mountain Dew and Doritos with the 2xp icon on the label. Once again, Call of Duty has partnered up to provide players double experience.
