How to Get & Activate Double XP in Modern Warfare 2

If you’ve been playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and feel a bit stuck progression-wise, then it might be time to boost your XP gain. You can always wait for a Double XP weekend, but those aren’t always reliably scheduled around when you can play the game. Here’s everything you need to know about how to get and activate Double XP in Modern Warfare 2.

Modern Warfare 2 – How to Get & Activate Double XP

There are a few different ways that Double XP Tokens can be obtained. There are some fast food promotions outside of the US that include Papa John’s and Burger King where buying certain food items will reward players with codes for Double XP Tokens.

Occasionally snack foods and sodas like Doritos and Mountain Dew will also feature codes for Double XP Tokens, but as of right now, nothing has been announced. It’s still worth keeping an eye out for them just in case.

The Vault Edition of Modern Warfare 2 also features a handful of Double XP Tokens along with the game. Players who purchase this version for $99.99 will get 10 hours worth of tokens. However, this bonus is exclusive to those who buy the Vault Edition through the in-game store in Vanguard, Cold War, Warzone, or Modern Warfare (2019).

The last way to obtain Double XP Tokens right now is by playing through the Modern Warfare 2 campaign. It’s more of a grind than simply shelling out money, but you at least know the work you put in now will lead to more XP down the road.

How to Use Double XP Tokens in Modern Warfare 2

Once you have a nice little stash of Double XP Tokens, it’s time to start cashing in. All you need to do is jump into the main lobby for multiplayer. You’ve probably played around with your loadouts before, so look in that area on the screen. Nearby you should see an XP Token button. Select that and activate a Token to start earning some extra XP.

Just keep in mind that there’s no way to pause the timer for these Tokens, so only use one if you know you’ll have plenty of time to get the most out of it.
