How to level up fast in Battlefield 6

How do you level up fast in BF6? One thing that players are noticing as they're playing Battlefield 6 is how long it takes to progress, whether that be their career rank or leveling up guns. It's a grind for sure, and while some people are enjoying the slow but steady march to greatness, others want everything, and they want it right now.

A lot of the best BF6 weapons don't begin life that way; they need attachments to unlock their true potential, and the only way to do that is to put the time in. BF6 classes work similarly, and although they all share the same career XP pool in Battlefield 6, a lot of them don't unlock key gadgets until you reach higher levels. Here are our tips for the best ways to get weapon and career XP in Battlefield 6.

Just playing the game will eventually yield enough XP for you to level up, but there are a few ways to get XP faster:

Play the objective

It may seem fairly obvious, but if you do what you're supposed to be doing in a match, BF6 will reward you with more points. Pushing a point, defending a position, planting a bomb - it all helps. Win bonuses aren't the be-all and end-all, but they soon rack up and will contribute to a few extra levels when all is said and done.

Use your class effectively

Eliminating the enemy is great, but oftentimes, there are more efficient ways to earn score in a game, especially if you aren't an expert marksman. You can help your team more and earn a ton of XP in the process if you stick to your class role. Picking Support? Always keep an eye out for downed teammates, utilize smokes, and make use of your gadgets to keep everyone safe - you'll reap huge rewards for being helpful.

Use your tokens

You might not have noticed, but there's a little button on the main menu that houses BF6 XP boost tokens. They only last for a short amount of time, but any XP you earn while they're active will be doubled. If you follow our previous tips with one of these tokens active, you'll fly up the ranks in no time.

How to level weapons fast in BF6

You don't gain weapon XP in quite the same way as career XP, although they are linked in some regards. Killing enemy players is the main way you'll gain weapon XP, so you may struggle if you aren't as bloodthirsty as some. We would suggest hopping into a hardcore BF6 Portal server - damage is boosted in those games, so if you're patient, you can rack up a ton of kills.

Now that you know how best to level in BF6, you'll have no trouble ascending the ranks, and you'll have every bit of kit in no time. Have you found a better way to level up? Let us know over on the PCGamesN community Discord so we can join you at the top.
