The grind is back on thanks the launch of Modern Warfare 3. Like in past titles, XP in MW3 serves numerous purposes, from leveling up the battle pass to buffing up your weapons and unlocking attachments. In order to stay ahead of the game, you'll want to earn XP as fast as possible, and there are a few game modes that'll serve you better than others.

Best Game Modes To Earn XP In MW3 (2023)

In Modern Warfare 3, there are 12 game modes to choose from, each offering varying objectives for players to complete in order to win the match:

  • Control
  • Cutthroat
  • Domination
  • Free For All
  • Ground War
  • Gun Game
  • Hardpoint
  • Invasion
  • Kill Confirmed
  • Search and Destroy
  • Team Deathmatch
  • War

In general, the best modes for raking in the XP are ones that can house more players, leading to faster-paced matches. This usually means more opportunities for kills and more objectives to complete. With that in mind, the best game modes for earning XP fast are:

  • Ground War
  • Invasion
  • Kill Confirmed
  • Search and Destroy

Ground War is effectively a larger-scale version of Dominion, giving plasyers five flags to capture during a match and more opportunities for kills. Taking down an opponent near one of the five flags offers more XP than anywhere else on the map, making it a great way to earn XP fast.

Invasion is all-out chaos at its finest, with plenty of players and AI opponents to take down. These matches are pretty fast-paced, too, allowing for plenty of multiple kills if you're efficient enough.

Kill Confirmed is a fan-favorite. Players have plenty of opportunities for kills in this mode, and will also earn XP for picking up dropped tags. Search and Destroy might be a little slower paced than the other modes listed, but it offers a bigger XP payout for each kill.
