When you first start out inBO6, you’re locked out of many things, from weapons to equipment. However, the real challenge comes with the Prestige rank, which resets your progress back to square one. This means you have to earn a ton of XP all over again to unlock items.

To help you ease the grind, here’s how to get XP and level up fast inCall of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Fastest ways to level up in BO6

You can use the following techniques to level up fast inBlack Ops 6:

The Double XP Weekends are one of the best times for XP farming. These weekends, which are usually announced by Treyarch, offer double XP rewards for all your in-game actions. Fortunately, Treyarch has already confirmed one event forBO6’spost-launch, so keep an eye out for it.

BO6 Hardpoint

Black Ops 6 Double XP event release date

Play from Nov. 1 to 4 to earn 2XP, 2X Weapon XP, and 2XGobbleGumrewards. It’ll make grinding much more accessible, with the possibility of reaching the Prestige rank by its end.

During the event, it’s recommended that you play objective-based modes, which are known to provide way more XP than the others. Simply hold your ground at your post, and you’ll earn XP, even if you’re just lying there.

BO6 Daily Challenges

Kill Confirmed is one of my favorite methods to level up fast. Eliminate opponents and pick up as many dog tags as possible, unlocking more Scorestreaks for the round. The more Scorestreaks you use, the more XP you’ll gain.

The Scout Pulse is the easiest to trigger, as it only requires 400 points in a single life. The UAV and Counter UAV are also good streaks to hit, providing XP the entire time they’re active. Additionally, you can equip the Dispatcher Perk to reduce the score cost for Killstreaks. It’s best to pair this Perk with Bankroll, which starts each life with a +150 score.

Black Ops 6 Zombies

For those seeking a challenge, the Daily Challenges section is your arena. Tasks like getting 15 Headshots and killing five enemies with the Scrambler Field Upgrade await. Achieve all three Daily Challenges to earn 5,000 XP for the day.

Besides the Daily Challenges, you can go on an even more formidable journey inZombiesmode. Sure, it’ll be difficult to get through, but it’s a great way to earn XP inBO6. TheLiberty FallsandTerminusMain Quests, in particular, offer 5,000 XP to those who complete them. However, I will say that they are pretty time-consuming due to their challenging series of tasks. You’ll still acquire more XP with your attempts, earning you points with numerous zombie kills.

The Double XP Tokens are the last method you may use, but there have been few opportunities to acquire them. The primary way to get them is through promotional purchases, Little Caesars, and Monster events. There may be more instances where Treyarch rewards XP Tokens for free. We’ll likely see cases like this whenBlack Ops 6Season 1drops, as seasons have generally offered free rewards.

What is the best way to level up fast in Black Ops 6?

TheDouble XP events, objective-based modes, andZombiesare the best places to level up fast inBO6. I’ve used theZombiesroute the most, and it’s helped me reach the higher ranks at an instant rate. It’s also an easy way to level up a wide variety of weaponry. It’s all because of thePack-a-Punchupgrade, boosting the damage rates of any type of gun. PAP has even given me a better grip on my barely-used weapons, including the sometimes hard-to-manage Pistols.

But ifZombiesisn’t your thing, you can always use Multiplayer’s objective-based modes to farm a ton of XP, especially on special events.
