💡 XP & Loadout Tips

Looking to earn even more XP? Consider focusing on long-match objective modes or playing with friends in parties. Squad-based play can increase your chances of winning and completing team-based challenges that grant bonus XP. Also, keep an eye on daily and weekly challenges tied to specific weapons or operators to double dip on progress.

To complete the warzone rivals event quickly, focus on high-XP modes like Domination, Hardpoint, Zombies, or Plunder (Warzone’s respawn mode). In Plunder mode, you can continuously complete contracts to stack XP fast while avoiding the pressure of staying alive like in battle royale modes. Equip one of the top Warzone meta guns, such as the Krig C and LC10, and activate any saved Double XP tokens. Need help picking the best meta weapons? Check out our full guide to the bo6 meta for the strongest loadouts right now.

Completing daily challenges or using warzone meta builds from our bo6 meta guide can speed up your progress significantly.

📌 Using a UAV, Most Wanted, or Bounty contract while running with warzone meta guns can help you finish challenges faster and gain additional XP.

📌 Remember to complete multiple contracts within a single match. Each consecutive contract you finish increases your XP multiplier, making it one of the fastest ways to level up during the Black Ops 6 Rivals event.
