What is the Max Weapon Level Cap?¶

We find ourselves starting fresh with a new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II which released on October 28th, 2022. Infinity Ward has changed a few things up, such as adding a new way to unlock Weapons, Weapon Tuning, and the removal of bunny hopping! If you’re planning on diving into multiplayer, then you may be wondering what’s the quickest method to reaching the max level with your favorite weapons, so you can have access to more attachments and camos.

Play During Double XP Weekend / Use Double XP Tokens¶

One of the more obvious methods to leveling up your Weapons in MW2 is to play as much as possible during Double XP Weekends, but sometimes CoD can only have Double Weapon XP or Level XP Active at once during in a weekend, so you’ll have to watch out for one is currently active. However, when there isn’t any double XP weapons active, then you’ll make use of double weapon XP tokens which can be earned via the campaign.

Upon completion you’ll have two 1 Hour Double Weapon XP Tokens and two 30 Double Weapon XP Token. As Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is due to be active for two years until the next one comes out, players will want to keep a lookout for specially-marked products, such as Mountain Dew from your local store which will contain a code!

Party Up With Friends¶

The next method to quickly grind through the weapon levels is for the PS4/PS5 players, as if you play in a party you’ll find yourself activating the 25% Weapon XP Boost due to the collaboration with Sony and Activision. Unfortunately, this method isn’t available for players on Xbox and PC

Pick Playlists Which Benefit Weapon Levelling¶

In order to level up your weapon you’ll need to get kills and lots of them, so you’ll want to pick a playlist that’ll let you do that. For example, Knock Out and Search and Destroy are bad options to go for as you’ll only get around 5-15 kills depending on your skill level, so you’ll want to pick modes where you can get lots of kills. Throughout the games launch weekend a lot of players have come to the conclusion that the new mode which was introduced in this year’s game Ground War: Invasion is best when leveling weapons.

Ground War: Invasion has one of the larger player count compared to the core game modes with 20v20and it also includes AI Enemies as well. This means you’ll be able to constantly get kills whilst playing the objective. Additionally, if you find yourself a vehicle, such as the Tank then any kills you get with this will count towards your Weapon XP!
