If you're averse to the idea of 250-level weapons, this is the fastest way to get them: first increase your Combat rating to 45, then grab the x8 spike. Next, camp out on Tier 3 while you stack weapon XP, camos, and other specials. Why do you need to grind weapon XP before CR? Because damage multipliers affect TTK and thus your kills-per minute, which directly impacts XP/weapon experience. Below is a reproducible path that allowed a gun to reach 20+ levels within a single match, along with the pitfalls and habits of exfil that ensured your gains were safe.

 Two-Phase Speed Technique

 You can now see the entire picture from a bird's eye perspective.

 black ops 7 bot lobbies Goals

 Phase A: Push the Combat Rating up to 45, (the breakpoint), to unlock damage multipliers of up to 8 and a steady kill rate.

 Phase B: Live and farm in T3, complete the camo challenges to gain progress, and then exfil.

 Why bo7 accounts CR45 Matters

 The damage spike pushes enemies past a point where weaker zombies become instant kills and Specials become manageable.

 Same time window but massively increased kills/minute, so camos, weapon XP and XP of XP all accelerate.

 Baselines are tested

 Growth in CR: With the right squad and aggressive contracts, you can quickly go from low to high CR in just one session.

 Weapon growth: +22 Levels in a T3 Farm Game (as seen with the shotgun/LMG), when finishing gold-camo Specials.

 Risk: Long games increase the odds of exfil failures and Dev errors; early exfils maintain CR.

 \ Phase A: Combat Rating Turbo (0 - 45)

 The engine behind the entire method is to build survivability and damage first.

 Loadouts & perks

 Core picks

 Major ability: Crash Cart.

 Minor ability: Kinetic jump (mobility for kite and repositioning).

 Statue Priorities

 Reload speed > sustain/heal > armor capacity. Why reload before? In dense fights, reload downtime kills tempo.

 Team comp

 You can play solo but, if you are going straight into hard zones, having a strong squad on your side is an advantage. Tag-and-pass and they will secure the kills.

 Leveling Path and Micro-Tech

 Zone jump strategy

 Standard: T1 - T2 - T3 - T4 ladder.

 Speed push: with team cover, head to the harder zones for more lucrative contracts.

 Tag-assist mechanic

 If a teammate takes down a target after you have tagged it, you will still receive XP/progress. Practically, snap between targets and tag one time, then move on.

 Grab global Upgrade Rooms

 Jailbreak War Station, and similar global upgrade rooms, give everyone the legendary booster once they are opened. Take the double-damage upgrades even at low CR.

 Milestones

 Don't challenge yourself before the CR10.

 Around CR30, damage feels noticeably improved.

 The farm unlocks when CR45's damage multiplier peaks.

 Exfil discipline (non-negotiable)

 Leave the country

 The longer a game runs, the more likely it is that there will be a bugged exfil or CR lost. You should take the clean exfil if you have reached a milestone.

 Cadence

 After CR20+ and again after CR30+ you can reset to the farm phase.

 \ Phase B: T3 Zombie Farm = XP + Camos Together

 When you add x8 online damage, your loop is efficient and safe.

 Spot Selection and Loop

 Play Tier 3 not Tier 4

 Does T4 not give more XP than the previous versions? Per kill, yes. Per minute, often no. T4 health/armor slows KPM; T3 keeps KPM sky-high.

 Ideal farm sites

 High zombie densities, open kiting, pillars/covers, easy access to ammo, contracts and ammunition.

 Loop rhythm

 Clear weak zombies, slip in short contracts when the game is quiet, return to spawn clusters and prioritise specials.

 Camou and task bundling

 Core kill types

 Use dense, tight-packed circles to avoid hip-fire and point-blank firing.

 ADS while moving - strafe during kites for passive accumulation.

 Sprint and kill: sprint short distances before bursting into bursts.

 Gold specials

 Find Mimics, disciples, elites and bosses. The best balance between spawn rates and TTK is achieved by T3.

 Exfil is a great way to get extra specials. Just use the countdown timer and leave.

 Weapons choices and growth

 Exotic/legendary

 It's cool, but do not let them cannibalize your progress on the weapon you want to use. Only use them if necessary.

 Real world results

 With optimized loops, you can achieve +20 to +22 level per match in T3. You can also complete multiple camouflage nodes in the same run.

 Safety exfiling and crash prevention

 The principle of early-exfil: progress can be lost by one more wave. After clearing a special wave of traffic, depart.

 Dev Error mitigation

 Symptom: Large reward batches can lead to match errors.

 Avoid long sessions and bank your progress.

 Checklist for Execution and Comparisons

 The compact table is a great way to make your selections mid-match.

 Gear, Team, Time

 Gear Priorities

 When x8 becomes active, raw damage is trumped by speed of reload/cycle and mobility.

 Armor plates - going from 1 plate to 2 or 3 is a breakpoint for survival.

 Team Roles

 You: tag coverage, kiting, upgrade collection.

 Teammates - contract completion and primary DP.

 If teammates drop out: Shrink your loop to nearby contracts, safe spawn clusters and fast exfil.

 Timeboxing

 Checkpoints every 10 minutes: did you complete the camo node that was assigned to you? Specials are spawning. If not, you may need to adjust your spot or loop.

 Accept contracts only when you are on your way to ammunition/armor and between spawn cycles.

 FAQ

 - Q. Can I get to CR45 even without a team of strong people?

 - A: Yes. You can use tag-assists to help you. It's safer, but slower.

 Q: Isn’t T4 better than XP strictly?

 - No, it's not in terms of XP per second. T3 is able to keep a fast pace, which is the key factor in weapon XP.

 Q: Do specials increase when you call exfil?

 - A: Frequently, yes. Use that window for gold-camo, special requirements. Then extract.

 Q: How can I prevent Dev Errors from occurring?

 - Q: Keep your runs shorter and cleaner; progress in the bank often; do not overstay on one last contract.

 Q: Do I need to use exotic drops for my hair?

 Use them sparingly if you want to survive. But keep the weapon that you're targeting in your hands so that any kills will count towards its XP or camos.

 Do these three actions now

 1) Equip the Crash Cart and Kinetic Jump. Increase armor capacity, stack reload speed, and stack reload.

 2) Use high-tier contract + tag-assists in order to increase CR from 40 to 45. Grab any global upgrades rooms to get instant damage increases.

 3) Move to Tier 3 - pick a dense spawn - loop weak zombie clearings – specials on site - call Exfil, farm the additional specials – depart.

 Feelings you will experience immediately

 - The grind changes from chip to lawnmower damage. Weapon levels and camo levels climb together. +20 levels within a single match become normal after the loop is tuned.

 If you notice efficiency dropping

 - Reduce your level, tighten your reloading, positioning and session length. Measure yourself by the XP you earn per minute and not how long it takes to play.
