↖ The Key Variables

To put it simply, getting as much XP as possible is key to ranking up fast. Playing the game is a must, however, there are many ways to earn XP which do not even require you to play the game as such.

↖ Camo Challenges

Camo challenges need to be cleared to earn XP on a variety of weapon camos whenever they are progressed. Completing these challenges helps in increasing XP and getting through levels faster. 

Note: XP awards grow higher with every rank of each camo category. Moreover, earning camo challenges for several weapons can be a great source of bonus XP and will definitely improve the rate of progress. n.

↖ Mastery Badges

If you want extra XP in-game, you can achieve milestones using certain elements such as weapons to earn Mastery Badges. Moreover, whereas Mastery challenges used to be linked to specific camos in earlier versions, eliminations, score streaks, field upgrades, equipment used, and even Mastery kills now fall under this system.

The game offers bronze, silver, and gold medals for player mastery completion. Moreover, mastering every single assault rifle increases the diamond level badges and hence the XP rewards. With the bronze badge only needing 1,000 XP and diamond badges giving 10,000, mastering is rewarding work. Therefore, for a player who uses bronze medals a lot, ranking up fast is key - around 500 kills with a gold medal suffices.

↖ Reticle Challenges

The reticle challenges are often neglected yet they are small extra bonuses of XP in Black Ops 6 that shouldn't be ignored. By completing the challenges and getting new reticles or optics for some of the camos, the players can get an XP of 500 per each completion of the challenge. 

This progression track for the different types of optics does not mean that the specified optic must be installed on the scope; it only states that every time an optic is use the scope will gain XP. This is a chance for the players to use different types of scopes and make some extra XP in the process. 

Red dots or low zoom optics to be fitted on the weapon would require the user to experiment with as they can result in high XP. Since reticle challenges are available for all the weapons which means these challenges are bound to repeat themselves earning the player extra XP often. 

Important factors to take into account reticle challenges:

• Reticle challenges need to be completed so XP points can be collected.
• The optic doesn't need to be utilized at once after it has been unlocked; the challenges progress.
• There are 500 XP for each kill that has been done for the reticles that had been unlocked.

↖ The Daily Challenge

Black Ops 6 has put in a lot of challenges to keep their player base engaged with the gameplay with the Daily challenges being one of them. These challenges give them rounds to unlock bonuses that help them in skating through the entire ranking up process.

Although completing all these challenges takes time, you only need to spend around 10 minutes a dayunlocking new content and ranking up. With these new updates and strategies, you should be seeing rewards pouring in.

↖ Career and Prestige Challenges

From Career Progression and Prestige Challenges, Many players look at unlockable achievements such as calling cards and camos as tasks within the game, dubbing them 'challenges'. To a full completionist these challenges also come with tiered XP that each unlock with advancing your level.

There are also tiered rewards for completing challenges, most notably a Mastery bonus of 10,000 XP for finishing all calling card challenges, along with the tier rewards. Especially these can have contents such as killer challenges giving the game specific tasks to complete in order to progress through the challenge. It's safe to say that with these features often being overlooked, by completing them, you'll earn more XP and level up faster. 

↖ Chasing Medals

Earning medals by playing a specific way is an easy way to earn more XP and given that the game features so many different medals. Each kill and accomplishment gives players an XP bonus as well. 

There are times however when going on higher kill streaks should be avoided so paying attention to your medals does come in handy. For a 20 or 30 kill streak you can gain 200 or 500 more XP. Earning medals does not just come from specific challenges but rather a variety of in-game actions and tasks. 

↖ Double XP Tokens

These tokens make their impacts felt twofold in that your XP yield increases and multiplied rewards after every match can be observed. Currently, these tokens can be redeemed for promotions offered by Monster and Little Caesars but are likely going to form part of battle passes in later seasons. 

↖ Stay Until the End

Staying until the end of the match demonstrates sportsmanship but also earns you an XP bonus for it. The bonus can still be quite significant, even for losing teams. Winning may not warrant you the extra XP but it does help redeem your time spent. Staying until the end is thus the most straight forward method of earning free XP without having to do much. 

↖ Going on Killstreaks

Going on killstreaks is a guaranteed way to earn more XP. Every time you go on a killstreak, a killstreak medal goes into your XP gain, and upper medals such as nuclear and unstoppable increase this XP gain by a lot. So long killstreaks are something you would want to aim for if fueling up on XP is your target.

↖ Class Setup

Deciding how to set up your class in such a way that is the most optimal for earning XP gains should become a critical factor for you. Use decoys to assist you, as that also brings you extra score and provides you with weapon XP as well. Also, setting on the likes of Prestige Strategist default will allow you to optimize your XP earned even further as it increases your score from different activities in the game.

↖ Best Modes

The use of best modes can considerably assist you as well, if for example you opt to focus on assist setups while using objective modes and going for the objectives, expect more XP gains.  There are variants of these that are known to give higher XP gains every minute, one such example would be Kill Confirmed when players'objectives are set on tagging and getting a kill.

Moreover, Smoothing tagging it is through Domination and Hardpoint that offers more opportunities to add XP into your cache by capturing and defending objectives.

↖ Why Hardcore Is So Good?

Hardcore Mode particularly appeals to players who want to rank quickly. There are less fail scenarios as one shot one kill expectations become more common. Consequently there is an increase in the amount of medals and bonus xp. The shift to hardcore mode is however not intuitive and may require some time to get used to especially for players who have had no prior exposure to the gameplay style.

1. EmbraceKill Confirmed: You Kill Want To kill and Want To Collect: Make killing as a necessity and collecting tags your focus so that you can gain Maximum Xp.
