How to get Double XP in Modern Warfare 2
Double XP Tokens are consumable items you can activate to receive x2 XP for every objective, kill, and match you complete. Playing each mode correctly, such as aiming for the goal against your own personal KD ratio, will earn you more player XP in the long run, and having Double XP active while playing well will allow you to rank up faster.
Double Weapon XP Tokens are another consumable item that will net you x2 XP towards the specific weapons you use, which unlock special attachments and other guns.
These two Double XP tokens only last for a certain amount of time, usually 30 minutes or an hour, which takes real time, not game time. So be prepared to play as much as you can while a token is activated to get the most out of it!
Here are some ways you can earn Double XP tokens in Modern Warfare 2:
- Complete campaign missions
- Buy the Vault Edition through an old Call of Duty store
- Purchase of special promotional food and beverages
There are four standard Double XP tokens and four Double Weapon XP tokens obtainable by completing campaign missions in Modern Warfare 2.
For purchasing Modern Warfare 2 Vault Edition from Warzone, Vanguard, Black Ops Cold War or Modern Warfare (2019) stores, you will get 10 hours of Double XP tokens and 10 hours of Double Weapon XP tokens.
The special food and drink promotional offers will differ depending on which country you are in, but at launch we know that Little Caesars and Mountain Dew are offering Double XP tokens in the US by purchasing valid products from them. Burger King also has promotion in several countries, but not in the US or UK currently at game launch.
Additionally, there will be Double XP weekends in the future that will not require a token, and the Season 1 Battle Pass will likely have Double XP tokens as rewards when it goes live.

How to Use Double XP Tokens in Modern Warfare 2
If you have a token that burns a hole in your operator’s pocket, you will first need to enter multiplayer game mode to use it.
Any multiplayer game mode from the main menu will do, but it’s best to go to the mode you want to play next to save time after activating a token.
Once you are in a multiplayer game mode, before entering the matchmaking lobby, you should see “XP Tokens” next to the option to start matchmaking.
To use an XP token in Modern Warfare 2, click on “XP Tokens” in this menu, then consume the token you want to use next. The green tokens are for dual player XP, while the orange tokens are for dual weapon XP.
Hope you enjoy multiplayer in Modern Warfare 2!
