There’ve been many questions about if the battle pass earn rate has changed as of Season 3, and what the best way is to rank up through the tiers fast, so I’ve done another round of testing to update my old video from several months ago. Here are my updated findings on how long it takes to level up the Modern Warfare & Warzone battle pass. I'll add to my chart that shows how XP is involved versus time played, and test all gamemodes, but with a focus on Warzone BR & Plunder since they’re new. And although I’d rather recommend just playing the game, I’ll also look into the viability of solo AFK farming as an easy way to level up the battle pass.

I ended up running into tons of weird XP bugs and inconsistencies in Warzone, and a large portion of this video is just going off into the weeds to go over some of the weird things that can happen. Start paying more attention to your match summary XP, and you might be surprised by what you see.
