Keep Your Target Weapon Equipped
The Season 1 account attributes objective and loot XP to the weapon in your hands.
- Equip your target weapon before opening containers, collecting tags, or completing contracts.
- Hold it before entering a vehicle to target XP earned while driving.
- Use a Double Weapon XP token when available; its effect on individual activity rewards remains unverified.

Pro tip: Swap back from your knife before a contract's final step.
Choose Your XP Route
Pick the mode that fits your weapon and risk tolerance.
| Mode | Best use | Main trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Rally Point | Solo launcher loot or squad contracts | Check playlist availability |
| Kill Confirmed | Tags, tactical assists, and kills | Small maps may rotate out |
| DMZ | Loot and operation completions | You risk losing your weapon |
| Massive Resurgence | Kills, loot, and contracts | Requires loadout access and successful fights |
Choose Rally Point for launchers and Kill Confirmed for short multiplayer sessions.

Solo Rally Point: Sentinel Train Route
Chest XP lets you progress without relying on launcher kills.
1. Loot Sentinel's two structures with your target weapon equipped.
2. Board an arriving train and open its regular and legendary chests.
3. Return to the platform and catch the next train.
4. Repeat as local containers replenish.
5. Fill gaps with Scavenger or Supply Run contracts.
Pro tip: Scavenger contracts add crates to your route; avoid Most Wanted if you want to stay out of fights.

Squad Rally Point: Chain Contracts
Contract completions give the squad a shared objective while individual players keep their target weapons equipped.
- Accept a nearby contract and clear resistance together.
- Equip each target weapon before the final objective step.
- Chain the next contract and loot containers along the way.
Pro tip: A squad splits train chests, so prioritize contracts over competing for the same loot. A consecutive-contract XP bonus is unconfirmed.

Kill Confirmed: Stack Tags and Assists
Use Kill Confirmed when Rally Point is unavailable or you prefer multiplayer.
- Choose a small map when available.
- Throw decoys into active areas for distraction assists.
- Collect and deny tags with your target weapon equipped.
- Use snapshots or an ammo box for additional team-support opportunities.
Pro tip: Small maps put more enemies near your decoys; check the playlist for Shipment or Shoot House.

DMZ and Resurgence: Manage the Risk
Choose DMZ for looting and operations, or Massive Resurgence when your target weapon is strong enough for fights.
- DMZ: Bring a replaceable weapon, loot containers, and equip it before completing operations.
- Resurgence: Combine kills, looting, and contracts; hold your target weapon before entering vehicles.
Pro tip: Avoid high-traffic DMZ areas when losing a hard-to-replace launcher would interrupt your grind.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
What is the fastest launcher leveling route?
Use the Rally Point Sentinel train route if the mode is available. Check that chest actions increase your weapon XP before continuing.
Does a stowed weapon earn objective XP?
The Season 1 account says objective XP goes to the equipped weapon. We have not independently verified this rule.
Do Double Weapon XP tokens speed up leveling?
They are intended to boost weapon XP, but their effect on each loot and objective reward has not been independently verified.
Can you level a launcher without kills?
The described Rally Point route uses chest loot and contracts instead of launcher kills. Confirm that those actions award weapon XP in your current playlist.
Do consecutive squad contracts award bonus XP?
A consecutive-contract bonus is unconfirmed. Track completion rewards before planning around one.
