How to level up fast in Modern Warfare 3

During the beta, there's only a small portion of what the full build of Modern Warfare 3 will offer, meaning levelling up fast involves a variety of methods to hit the level cap as quickly as possible.

Here are some handy tips and tricks that will help you reach the max level in no time at all.

Play the objective

Perhaps the easiest way to level up fast in Modern Warfare 3 is by playing the objective in Domination, Hardpoint, and Kill Confirmed matches. Sitting in the hill and capturing flags adds additional XP to your score, allowing you to climb the ranks quicker than avoiding them and gunning for the most kills.

We recommend Kill Confirmed as you can earn XP from collecting tags from your own team in addition to the enemy.

Weapon challenges

Alongside the regular challenges in Modern Warfare 3, you can earn huge amounts of XP by using any weapons that feature in the arsenal. Weapon challenges typically range from scoring a specific number of longshots or even scoring headshots.

In most cases, the challenges will reward 10,00 XP so they're definitely worth completing as fast as possible.

How to use Modern Warfare 3 XP tokens

During the beta, you won't have the option to use any XP tokens in Modern Warfare 3 but when the full game releases, there's no better way to level up fast.

To use any tokens, there will be an option allowing you to activate a double XP, double weapon XP, or a double battle pass XP token.

Does Modern Warfare 3 beta progression transfer to the full game?

No, all progression earned during the two Modern Warfare 3 beta weekends doesn't transfer over to the full game when it releases. This means everyone starts the pre-season on a level playing field and from the same level.

What is the max rank in the Modern Warfare 3 beta?

The max rank for the Modern Warfare 3 beta is 30. The level cap for the first weekend is 20 and will be increased by 10 for the final weekend.
