Fastest Vanguard Weapon XP: All Modes Tested

[@S0ur]

While working on testing the XP buffs I mentioned in this, I noticed that all the WXP/kill values at 2:52 have already been changed in the Nov. 11 patch for some reason... 🙃 They're still consistent (getting the same numbers every time), they're just different now. They could keep changing in future updates, but here are the updated values: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5ukc52Yacabe68

nice to find your channel keep it up

So playstation gives you 25% bonus? Is that only when playing with friends who are also on play station?

[@ThatSwedeGuy97]

Sour this is a incredible analysis of the leveling system, always super appreciative of all the work you put into these videos and breakdowns every year!

[@xawfx]

Ecoliespresso has good in depth vids too

[@tanner_spring]

Now here’s a wrench in the mix - there’s a “kit” (attachment) on some guns called “surplus”. The description says it increases XP per kill, I’m unsure if that is character or WXP. Hopefully you can shed some light on this in a future video? -cyc1es

[@S0ur]

It is one of the buff-type things I wanted to try, yes 👍

[@grrinc]

Yes, we’ll spotted. I’m curious too.

[@Odd-Definition]

Its really good instead of 100xp per kill you will get 130xp

Best video I’ve seen for this by far! Definitely don’t feel like I’m wasting my time by playing Zombies to level weapons.

[@bakatraitless]

Haven’t bought the game but I have with the previous 2 CODs but, the fact that they made it easy to understand and straightforward is astounding. This is an Activision game we are talking about! Looking forward to your further future analysis!

With Das Haus having its own playlist as of yesterday, that looks like it’s gonna be the best route to weapon xp. I do wish you could do hardcore das haus 24/7 tho but beggars can’t be choosers lol

[@Gazza1872x]

Put on FMJ and anything that increases bullet penetration and it BECOMES hardcore 😏

[@lucasspag5098]

Is it just me or is the playlist bugged? After my first game I have to research the playlist because it'll throw me into a random map after my first game.

[@XlBlackGryphonlX]

can't wait to see if you'll do an updated xp testing thing since Shi No Numa released, I'd say it's better for xp now compared to the other 2 maps.

[@shadowblade9767]

I have noticed weapons level faster the farther you go in zombies. Between 1-5 my MG42 went from 47-49, with me leading the scoreboard by double the kills of the next highest. From 6-10, my MG42 went from 49-53.

More xp per kill the less people in the game due to pacing, neat... thank you for the analysis S0ur.

[@IsaSensei]

Oh ghost kills, dude, my weapons randomly level up or complete challenges even though I never used them!

[@S0ur]

I was surprised by that the first time I saw it too, but I'm guessing that's because of some static XP amount in the reward track of operator progression

Maybe that ghost kill thing is certain medal that awards extra exp? Maybe a comeback kill is worth double? But yeah, I went the fun route for this game, I even use killstreaks and shit, it's been a while since I had this much fun in a cod game.

do you know if leaving the game a bit earlier is more efficient than waiting for the final scenes and scores? Also, do you know if saved in coldwar and warzonw xp tokens work in vanguard

Yes they do, the timer won’t show up but they do. I’ve tested myself.

[@DeadShot-tm3lu]

Q1: Did you test surplus kit on the weapon xp? Q2: are you gonna do some camo guides this year?

[@S0ur]

Testing of tons of types of XP buffs will come soon, had to limit this to gamemodes. (Spoiler: surplus is looking great to use.) I will talk about camos a bit with the tracker sheet but not sure if guides will be useful by the time I would get to them.

[@DeadShot-tm3lu]

@@S0ur Great vid , waiting for the camo guides , keep up the good work

[@Ju5t4l1z4rd]

I play both zombies and TDM, as long as the lag, latency, rubberbanding, and pocket bursts are present, I find it fun. Saddly M1 Garand isn't the best in PvP as everyone uses automatics like Sten and Stg so hoping to a good buff for that in overall damage so I've been working on leveling up operators with their favorite/preferred weapon of choice

[@Crypticchd]

Can you create a camo tracking spread sheet? I loved your copy so I could track my progress

[@S0ur]

I made it in advance and have been filling in the challenges. The last 3 are different for every gun so I'm trying to at least get most of them in there. This video also came first, but the sheet is next.

[@diligaf1000]

I'm sticking to zombies for weapon leveling it's actually not bag , got a bunch of Doritos double xp codes too.

[@S0ur]

[@jeremiegartner464]

As always well done. My guess is Das house will be the shoothouse like map. I got alot of my melee kills for operators done when it was a Playlist option. Another note...you cannot decide pace in hardcore. It is some type of standard pace. Not sure if that changes the exp per kill or not. Its my go to mode for guns that are weak or I do not like.

Hope they give us what we want. I thought they heard us all complain about outbreak. Now we have mini outbreak. It's crazy. I had high hopes and we got this. Now they'll be adding domination and assault most likely to this outbreak type mode. I don't care if it cost money just give us a round based dlc.

[@amigopuerco]

I think zombies is more of the feeling after playing a long game and you level up the weopon so much from 1 game. But when you break it down per minute it isn't much

[@Boostyyy]

Oh hey, I know those guys

[@darendunking7399]

Zombies xp may get better if you play through to higher rounds. Like you said lobby downtime factored in, zombies you can play 1-2 hours, no downtime. Its nice to see through round 7 its middle of the pack. But anyone who plays zombies doesn’t even sit up straight until round 10.

[@ravioli9171]

Is anyone else trying to get a throwing trick shot on Das Haus?

[@RobertoLopez-im3tx]

Das haus is glitched for me when I am done with the match it put me in a random map help

[@ROACH123_]

aparently zombies exp drops after 20 kills on that same area, so its better to spawn, kill the 5 zombies at the start, enter portal while killing zombies and finish the objective on transmit as fast as possible then just exit the match

[@ROACH123_]

can confirm i can do a full clear of the 5-10 starting zombies and then enter the transmit portal, complete as fast as possible then force exit the match and it takes me 2.5 - 3.0 minutes per run. (this is including the start countdown, loading screen and the teleport time) im getting about 900 exp per run, which equates to roughly 18,000 - 23,000 exp per hour solo on zombies with no exp boost, which is about 300-400 exp per minute! SOLO ZOMBIES NO EXP BUFF

[@S0ur]

Sorry but that seems like a pretty intensive and an unfun way to play tbh, just to get a rate on the low end of MP and not helping much with camo progress. Awesome if it's a method you enjoy I suppose

[@ROACH123_]

@@S0ur some weapons are difficult to even get 5 kills with per game in multiplayer, such as the new snipers, so this can be useful for those weapons, but for all other weapons obviously it's not good at all

Sorry, it's been pretty full for a while since people just need to log on to accept the approved invites.

CAMO SHEET ASAP

[@Status_Bleach]

Actually the reason the round 5 zombie game gave more Xp/kill than the round 1 game is because theres a hard drop in weapon Xp after 10 kills in Harvest. And after 30 kills in Transmit and Blitz (atleast what i heard). You should check Dirtriders video he went much more in depth kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaCtmY17fZKWrZY

[@S0ur]

Interesting video, but how does that explain what I saw at all? In both 100 kill Harvest tests, I got the first 100 kills after entering the Harvest objective, and that's it. The only difference was round 1 vs round 5, and I got more doing it on round 5. Yet his video says your xp drops by over 70% after getting to round 3?
