With the new weapon smith system, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 offers many cool and, above all, new customization options for your weapons. Unfortunately, these must first be unlocked with XP. We will therefore show you 3 tips on how you can level up your guns quickly.
How to level weapons in MW2? Weapons in CoD MW2 are leveled up through kills. This time, however, the weapon arsenal doesn’t have insanely long level phases in which you spend hours on a gun to increase it to level 50. Each weapon in MW2 has only 20 levels.
Despite this, the weapon level of each gun is important as it allows you to unlock platforms to unlock more genres of killing machines. Everything meshes together in Waffenschmiede 2.0 and requires you to have played each rifle, pistol or other for some time.
However, we now show you 3 tips on how you can increase the level of your weapons faster and more effectively. Here again the English trailer for Waffenschmiede 2.0:

1. Choose the right mode
What do you mean with that? For the release of MW2, Infinity Ward implemented a total of 11 modes. However, one of them is the most worthwhile and that is the ground war. The 32vs32 battle mode lets you compete against a large team and take zones on a huge map.
Many players have now found in their time in multiplayer that ground warfare is the most worthwhile for XP.
Why is ground warfare so lucrative? It’s odd why the Ground War is wearing the XP donor pants. CoD YouTuber WhosImmortal got the same amount of kills in a normal mode as well as in a Ground War session, but found that Ground War gives more XP.
Whether this is intentional or just a bug in the system is not certain. However, the fact of the matter is that if you want to level up your weapons faster, you should definitely make a detour into ground warfare.
2. Try kill bonuses
The second way to get extra XP is through kill bonuses. Kill bonuses are mainly things that can come along with a kill. These include:
At first glance, the extra 15 or 20 XP doesn’t seem like much, but if you get multiple such bonuses in one round, it all adds up. So try your hand at it and clean up the battlefield.
3. Extra XP through camo challenges
A final step to collect even more XP are the Camo Challenges. With them, you not only unlock cool and, above all, rare weapon finishes, you even get a bit of XP when you complete them.
The good thing about this is that the challenges in MW2 have been simplified a lot. You no longer have to spend 10 hours on a challenge, you can do it comparatively. So while you’re looking for kill bonuses in the ground war, you can also unlock the camo challenges along the way.
An important note: If you play through the story missions in MW2 one after the other, you can earn so-called “Weapon XP Tokens” for completing some missions. These can then be redeemed in multiplayer and will give you double experience points for your equipped gun in the event of kills or similar actions to gain XP.
Note, however, that this is a consumable item and this token expires after use.
