Do Daily Challenges Give Weapon XP in Call of Duty?
Yes, absolutely! As a hardcore COD player myself, I can definitively say completing daily challenges is an awesome way to earn solid weapon XP (experience points) across Modern Warfare 2, Warzone 2.0, and recent Call of Duty titles.
I‘ll provide all the details in this guide!
See, every day you get 3 new daily challenges available. These rotate and involve tasks like:
- Get X kills with Assault Rifles
- Earn X headshots with a Shotgun
- Melee X enemies
They‘re pretty easy and can be done in just a few matches if you focus them.
Here‘s How Much Weapon XP You Get:
- Each Daily Challenge = 2,500 weapon XP
- 3 Challenges per day
- That‘s 7,500 XP possible per day from challenges!
To put into perspective how good this XP is, here is a comparison table estimating average XP earned per 10 minute multiplayer match:
| **Mode** | **Average XP** |
| Daily Challenge | 2,500 XP |
| Invasion | 6,000 XP |
| Multiplayer | 4,000 XP |
As you can see, the 2,500 XP from a single challenge is very solid!
Challenges are way faster than normal multiplayer, though not quite as insane as the XP pinatas that are Invasion/DMZ matches.
But anyway, back to challenges!
Here are some tips to maximize that sweet, sweet weapon XP:
Combine Challenges with 2XP Events
Around special COD events or seasons, Activision will often run 2XP periods for weapons, profiles, etc.
- Make sure to smash out as many challenges as possible during these events!
- That 2,500 XP gets doubled to 5,000 XP per challenge – woo!
Activate Your 2XP Tokens Too!
Similarly, be sure to use any stockpiled 2XP tokens you have when grinding challenges. These will stack with existing 2XP events for ridiculous 4X multiplier juiciness.
Your weapon will level up in no time!
Play Objective Modes Like Hardpoint
Challenges need weapon kills. More kills = faster challenge completion.
So hop into objective modes like Hardpoint or Domination where enemies cluster on objectives allowing for easy multi-kills to count towards your next Gold camo.
Party Up! Combine Challenge Progress
Group with your COD squadmates and make sure to call out what challenges you‘re working on each match.
- Help each other complete them faster
- Build an absolute unit of a weapon XP farming team!
Alright, so hopefully you now see that daily challenges absolutely provide a chunky injection of weapon XP. Make sure to maximize them!
That said, what are some other decent ways to level up your guns I hear you ask?
More Top Tier Weapon XP Methods
Invasion and DMZ PvE Modes
These hot new modes shine for weapon XP thanks to all the AI enemies. They are incredibly efficient sources for challenges and camo grinds. Highly recommend!
Double XP Tokens
Making sure to judiciously use any double XP tokens you get from Battle Pass purchases or pre-order bonuses. These will double all your juicy weapon XP gains!
Missions and Contracts
Completing in-game missions and contracts found in DMZ or multiplayer menus will also net bonus XP payouts. Easy passive XP.
Profile/Rank Progression
As your overall profile rank increases, you passively earn more weapon XP over time. So grinding that profile rank will make weapon leveling quicker.
There you have it my friend! Now get out there, smash some AI bots in Invasion, pop those double XP tokens, and complete all daily challenges possible.
I hope this guide helps you maximize XP gains! Let me know any other questions in the comments.
Happy grinding,
