How do I rank up guns fast in Modern Warfare 2 Season 4?

You earn weapon XP in Modern Warfare 2 by using the gun during matches. By scoring eliminations and headshots, the XP bar fills. If the process is too time-consuming, there are a few tips that speed up the process.

The best way currently proving popular involves decoy grenades and the Kill Confirmed game mode. Throwing decoys near the action earns a surprisingly high amount of weapon XP in addition to collecting the dog tags.

Using this method is great for working through weapon levels and unlocking camos as fast as possible.
