[FASTEST] Leveling With Zombies (MWZ)

Leveling In Zombies Is The Efficient Way

Zombies will respawn endlessly at specific locations, allowing you to earn a massive amount of XP by defeating them.

Below are the top three most effective methods to level up. For more detailed information, please check the link.

Guide On How to Level Up in MWZ

Story Mission Extraction Is Is Recommended

In the Act 1 Story Mission: Extraction, you can earn a significant amount of XP by loading turrets in the final area to defeat zombies. Keep in mind that each turret lasts only a couple of minutes, so you should reload the turret when it runs out of circuits.

Contract: Spore Control

After you accept this Contract, Zombies will continue to spawn until the Spores are destroyed. Once you have earned enough XP, you can stop the spawning by destroying the Spores or canceling the Contract at any time.

Exfil Point Is Also An Option

Call For The Helicopter

The Exfil Point is marked on the map with 43:45 remaining. When you call for the helicopter at the Exfil Point, a large number of zombies will appear. The helicopter will depart within 30 seconds, but you can keep calling until you have earned enough XP or time runs out.

Leveling With Multiplayer Modes

Quick Play With Playlist Filter

Quick Play With Playlist Filter

If you want to find a match for the game modes you wish to play, you can use the Playlist Filter feature. Keep in mind that XP tokens have a time limit, so it's advisable to select only those modes which are easy to earn points and can be finished quickly.

Domination and Hardpoint Are The BEST For Leveling

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Squad Spawn XP

Match Time: About 10 mins

If you want to level up quickly in MW3, playing Domination and Hardpoint modes is recommended. These game modes have specific positions that are strategically placed, allowing you to earn about 200 XP for each base capture or defense. Each game mode lasts around 10 minutes so that a 30-minute token would allow for three matches.

Use A.C.S

Call of Duty Modern Warfare A.C.S or Automated Computer Spike
Details The Auomated Computer Spike (A.C.S.) slowly captures points and temporarily hacks nearby enemy devices.

When playing Domination, Hardpoint, and Ground War, it is recommended to choose A.C.S. as your Field Equipment. By placing A.C.S. near a specific position, you can earn XP in small increments every few seconds.

Kill Confirmed Is Also An Option

Dog tags in Kill Confirmed

Match Time: About 10 mins

In this mode, you earn 75 XP by defeating enemies and collecting their dog tags. Enemies come to pick up the fallen tags, making it easy for you to catch them (or, conversely, easy for them to take you down). The match duration is limited to 10 minutes, so you don't need to worry about running out of time.

Hardcore Team Deathmatch For Experienced Players

Hardcore Team Deathmatch

Match Time: About 5 mins

The Hardcore mode is designed to offer a challenging gameplay experience with limited HUD, low health, and friendly fire enabled. Players die easily, which often results in early game endings (around 5 minutes).

However, the XP earned per kill is high, making it a time-efficient mode. If you are confident in your skills, Hardcore mode may be your best option.

Tips For When You Can't Beat The Enemy

Try To Get More Headshots

Aim for headshots whenever possible, as they can help you level up your guns faster than body shots. Use your sniper weapon to consistently get headshots to get bonus weapon XP. Using attachments like the Recon Perk to your weapon can help you aim more accurately.

Play With Friends Or Party Up Online

Playing with friends can help you get more kills and you can assist each other in completing challenges. Additionally, playing with more experienced teammates can help you win more games and, in turn, earn more XP for surviving, getting kills, and completing objectives thus making it easier to level up your weapons.

Experiment With Your Loadouts

Be sure to customize your loadouts with attachments that you unlock as you level up your weapon. Some attachments can improve the weapon's performance, making it easier to get kills.

Map Awareness Optimizes Field Equipment Placement

Gaining insight into where players are prone to move, gather or pass through helps you choose optimal spots for your field equipment's location. Knowing where the objectives are located on the map and placing equipment strategically near them can help secure control or defend against enemies attempting to capture these points. This increases the likelihood of it being triggered or deployed effectively, thus letting you earn more XP on the long run.

The Basics To Level Up Fast

Use Weapons You Want To Level Up In Battle

The amount of experience points you can earn during combat varies greatly depending on how much you use that weapon and how many enemies you kill. So, it's not just about bringing the weapon to the battlefield. So make sure to actively use the weapons you want to level up in combat.

Don't Miss Double XP Events
