Call of Duty: Mobile features a wide selection of weapons, along with numerous attachments that enhance their capabilities. However, these attachments are not immediately available, as players must level up their chosen guns to unlock them.

Guns in COD: Mobile can have between 30 and 55 levels, and reaching the maximum level, which grants access to all attachments and perks, can be a time-consuming process. Fortunately, there are ways to speed up this process, and this guide provides all the necessary information.

So, prepare your smartphone and focus on the goal—here's how to swiftly level up guns in COD: Mobile.

Methods to Level Up Guns in COD: Mobile

Before we delve into the tips and tricks, let's cover the basics of leveling up guns. There are two primary methods to level up guns in COD: Mobile.

The first method is by using the weapon in multiplayer or battle royale game modes. As you participate in matches, you earn weapon XP that automatically increases your weapon's level. The better you perform in a match, the more XP you gain, so focus on using the weapon you want to level up as frequently as possible.

The second method involves utilizing weapon XP cards, which come in three types: green, blue, and purple. Green cards increase the weapon's XP by 50, blue cards by 100, and purple cards by 500. We'll discuss how to obtain more of these cards later on.

You can check a weapon's current level and use weapon XP cards from the Gunsmith menu.

In the Gunsmith menu, select the desired gun to view its level. In the top right-hand corner, next to a prominent "upgrade" button, you'll find the weapon's current level.

By pressing the "upgrade" button, you can utilize your weapon XP cards (if available). This menu also allows you to view the attachments currently unlocked for the weapon.

Complete Boot Camp

If you're new to COD: Mobile, the in-game Boot Camp is an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with the game mechanics and earn valuable weapon XP cards.

The Boot Camp consists of a three-part tutorial that takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. It offers various rewards, including a generous amount of weapon XP cards. After finishing all three parts, you'll receive a substantial reward that includes additional weapon XP cards.

You can access the Boot Camp through the multiplayer menu, located at the top-right of the screen.

It's an ideal starting point for beginners, so complete this tutorial before diving into the game.

Play on Small Maps

Why play on small maps? The answer is simple: small maps allow you to quickly accumulate kills, thereby earning substantial weapon XP.

Here are some small-sized maps:

  • Shoot House
  • Slums
  • Standoff

Utilize Double Weapon XP Cards

Double weapon XP cards provide double the usual XP gains (who would have thought) over a specific duration or number of matches. There are two types of double weapon XP cards: common and rare.

Common double XP weapon cards double your XP gains for 24 hours, while rare double weapon XP cards double your XP gains for ten matches.

You can acquire double weapon XP cards by opening rare and epic credit crates.

Epic credit crates cost 1200 credits, while rare credit crates cost 400. However, please note that the contents of these crates are randomized, and you are not guaranteed to receive a double weapon XP card.

You can also obtain double weapon XP cards as consolation prizes, which are rewarded when a player drops from your team in a ranked match. These prizes can be found in your in-game mailbox.

You can also obtain crates through various events, so keep an eye on the event tab for new events and their respective rewards.

Watch Double Weapon XP Advertisements

One of the most effective methods of gaining double weapon XP is by watching double weapon XP advertisements.

After playing a multiplayer game, when you exit the lobby, you may have the opportunity to watch an advertisement in exchange for a double weapon XP card for your next game.

While these advertisements may be slightly annoying (as they require a 60-second viewing), they guarantee double weapon XP for your next game. Endure the advertisement, claim your rewards, and soldier on.

Utilize Weapon XP Cards

Now, let's discuss weapon XP cards. As mentioned earlier, there are three types: green, blue, and purple.

Green cards provide a modest 50 XP increase, but they are the least common. On the other hand, blue and purple weapon XP cards are more prevalent, offering 100 XP and 500 XP, respectively.

You can acquire weapon XP cards through events, crates, and the in-game store.

In the in-game store, you can purchase both blue and purple weapon XP cards using either credits or COD Points (the premium currency).

Spending your credits on weapon XP cards is a wise use of this free currency. In the "item" section of the in-game store, blue cards can be purchased for 80 credits or 40 COD Points, while purple cards can be purchased for 160 credits or 80 COD Points.

You can utilize weapon XP cards in the Gunsmith menu, combining multiple cards for upgrades. However, note that unlocking all levels requires a significant amount of these cards.

Continue Using the Same Weapon (Even After Reaching Max Level)

By now, you likely understand that using your desired gun, with or without a double weapon XP card, is an effective way to level it up.

However, even after reaching the maximum level of a gun, keeping it equipped can still contribute to leveling up other weapons.

This is because using a leveled-up gun rewards you with weapon XP cards instead of further leveling up the gun itself.

These cards can then be used for any other weapon. So, if you have a gun that consistently performs well for you, it can be the fastest way to level up other weapons.

The only drawback is that you won't have much hands-on time with the weapon you're leveling up, which means you may miss out on trying the various attachments and perks you unlock.

That's all for your leveling-up guide.

Everybody is talking about Diablo IV, and you're not sure if you should give it a try?
