Modern Warfare 2 - How to get Weapon XP fast


MW2 M4 cinder

Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer is well underway, and Season 1 has brought us tons of new content to get to grips with. Whether you're smashing through the new Battle Pass, or taking a nostalgia trip on the iconic returning maps, there's something for everyone.

However, if you're grinding camos or just looking to unlock new guns via receivers, you'll need weapon XP, which can be a pain to grind. Here's how to streamline the process and get as much XP as possible without sinking hours into Modern Warfare 2.

Invasion Weapon XP

Invasion is the tried and tested method to pick up fast weapon XP in Modern Warfare 2. Used since day 1, it uses the fact that bot kills count the same towards weapon XP, and with so many enemy bots who hardly shoot back, it's easy money.

Bots will drop in squads from helicopters, and if you can get into position with no real enemy players around, you can eliminate them with ease.

Optimise this method by using a tactical insertion to drop close to the action or behind a spawn point. This will allow you to eliminate time spent running to a position, and allow you to farm bots more effectively in Modern Warfare 2.

Kill Confirmed Weapon XP

A newer way discovered that can match or even surpass the invasion method is Kill Confirmed. In Modern Warfare 2, dog tags you collect will count towards Weapon XP of the gun in your hand.

In such a fast-paced game mode, you don't even need kills to level weapons quickly, but any you do mean you can grind camos even faster. It's also much more engaging than simply farming bots.

Try out these two methods and it won't be long before you've unlocked the receivers you need and levelled your favourite weapons to max.
