Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 added several new weapons to the game and players might be looking to level up quickly. Here are some tips to help you level up fast in MW3 Season 3.

MW3 Season 3 is in full swing offering players a ton of content for players to grab, ranging from new guns like the MORS and FJX Horus, as well as other Battle Pass rewards and unlocks.

If you want to speed up the process, here’s how you can level up rank and weapons fast in Modern Warfare 3.

MW3: How to level up Rank fast

Here are the best ways to level up your Rank fast in MW3. Keep in mind that since most players are already aware that using Double XP Tokens or playing during a Double XP event are great ways to level up fast in MW3, we haven’t included them below.

Complete Daily & Weekly Challenges

Modern Warfare 3 overhauled the Daily and Weekly Challenge system. Most of them will be quite easy to complete, including earning specific types of kills, and in-game challenges with certain weapon categories, and will offer a great deal of XP to rank up fast in MW3.

With this in mind, keep an eye on the daily challenges tab on the left of the lobby screen and ensure you’re ticking them off each day.

Play the objective

This may seem obvious, but sticking to the objective is a great way to level up quickly in Modern Warfare 3. While simply earning kills will come with a steady stream of XP, contributing to your team’s victory will come with its reward.

Make sure you’re picking up tags in Kill Confirmed, capturing flags in Domination, and holding the Hardpoint to rack up easy XP simply by playing the game.

Go for the win

Winning matches earns a ton of XP in Modern Warfare 3. At the end of each match, you’re rewarded with all of the XP you picked up, but if you win the game as well you’ll receive a bonus.

While many players will run off as a lone wolf, it pays to work with your team to achieve the common goal. If you’re consistently winning games, you’ll rank up fast in MW3.

Play Ground War & War

Although most players will stick to traditional Modern Warfare 3 modes, the sprawling battles of Ground War and War are perfect for leveling up guns. The extra player count and longer matches offer more chances to get kills helping speed up the process with XP.

There are also more objectives than the likes of Domination, so you can easily pick up additional points by defending or clearing objectives.

PlayStation Party bonus

If you’re a Modern Warfare 3 player on PlayStation, you can level up your guns fast by teaming up with one or various friends. Joining or hosting a party with friends offers a 25% XP boost, drastically speeding up how quickly the next set of attachments are unlocked.

Of course, not all players will be able to join up with others for every session, but it certainly pays to invite a friend when possible. Unfortunately, this bonus isn’t available on other platforms.
