While many might be interested in the MW4 DMZ extraction loop of grabbing a few materials, crafting some items, and buying new weapons, you won’t be able to do all of that unless you level up first. And even if there are many ways to get experience in DMZ, a few work better than others, which is why we’ve made a quick list of the three best ways to level up fast in MW4 DMZ.
1. Completing Story Missions
For the early levels, the best thing you can do is focus on Story Missions. You’ll unlock them at level 2 or right after the tutorial match, and after that, you’ll be able to grind them. Even if you get some of the rewards once, the experience is worth it, especially since some of the early story missions are extremely easy to tackle, especially when playing solo.
2. Grinding Dynamic Ops
If you’re tired of Story Missions, grinding Dynamic Ops is the best way to level up in MW4 DMZ right now. They are extremely fast to do and not too complicated, as some objectives can be done without engaging other enemies. You can just go in, grab whatever the Op requires you to grab, and get out. Plus, you get some rewards whenever you complete one, so you’re grinding materials, money, and XP just by doing these activities.
3. Clearing Compounds
While we wouldn’t recommend this as a first option, clearing compounds also grants some XP points, and you should always aim to do this as a side objective when doing any of the above things we already recommended. However, you run the risk of seeing other players doing the same, and that can be quite dangerous. If you’re going for a compound-clearing run, try to do it as a Squad, as it might be safer.
Get the Fast Learner Trait
Lastly, invest a few points in the Scout skill tree, as you can get the Fast Learner trait, which increases your experience gains. It might not be a lot, but it will help you when it comes to leveling up fast in MW4 DMZ.
In summary, focus on Story Missions if you’re starting your DMZ journey, and then move on to grinding Dynamic Ops. They are extremely profitable and will help you level your Operator up extremely fast.
