Best Way: Zombies Mode (Solo)
▲ Zombies Mode is a good way to level up weapons you rarely use in PVP!!!
Before jumping into multiplayer, you may want to unlock more attachments for your newly unlocked weapons. The best way to do this is by playing solo in Zombies mode. Spawn with your new weapon, upgrade it, and try to survive as long as you can. With this, you can level up your weapons in no time!
