How to get and use Double XP in Modern Warfare 3

Double XP is a great way to climb those player, weapon, and Battle Pass levels in Modern Warfare 3.

The most useful of these are the Double Weapon XP Tokens to level-up your guns faster, and the standard Double Player XP Tokens to help rank up your player account, which unlocks weapons and features like the Armory the higher your level is. So if you want to have full customisation and access to some of the game's most useful benefits and best weapons, you'll want to rank up as fast as possible.

To help make the most of your time, we've detailed how to get Double XP in Modern Warfare 3 below, along with how to use Double XP once you've got your hands on some Tokens.

Modern Warfare 3 Double XP Tokens explained

Player Double XP Tokens are consumable items that give you double the XP for every kill you get, and for every objective, match, and challenge you complete while the Token is active. Playing each mode correctly - like going for the objective over your own personal KD Ratio - will give you more player XP in the long-term, so having Double XP active while playing well results in ranking up a lot faster.

Double Weapon XP Tokens are another consumable item that nets you double XP towards the specific weapon you're using. The more weapon XP you have, the more attachments and attachment slots you unlock for a weapon. Max out certain weapons' XP and you now get access to a special challenge in Modern Warfare 3 that unlocks a Conversion Kit when completed. These alter guns in unique ways, such as unlocking the ability to dual wield pistols.

There are also Double Battle Pass XP Tokens, which can be used to blast through the current Battle Pass to get its rewards quicker.

All types of Double XP Tokens last for a set amount of time: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or an hour. Remember, this takes up real time, not game time, so get ready to play as much as you can while a Token is activate to make the most of it!

Play during double XP weekends

Although not running at launch, there will be Double XP Weekends in the future that don't require a Token to take advantage of. All you have to do is play during these boosted XP periods to maximise your XP gains.

How to use Double XP Tokens in Modern Warfare 3

If you've got a Double XP Token burning a hole in your pocket, then you need to select a multiplayer game mode first to use it. Any multiplayer game mode from the main menu will do, but it's best to select the mode you want to play next to save some time after you activate a Token.

Once you're in a multiplayer game mode click the button displayed under the objectives menu on the left-hand side. This was 'LS' for us playing on an Xbox controller.

A list of all your Double XP Tokens will then appear, and all you have to do is select the one you want to use in order to activate it. There is no pop-up to confirm your selection, so make sure you've selected the correct type of XP Token before you activate it.

Good luck earning those Double XP Tokens in Modern Warfare 3!
